But while some have said the drink reminds them of sweetened condensed milk or even s’mores, the company was actually inspired by a more surprising flavor. That is, the last drip of milk that remains in your breakfast bowl. Baristas steam up the cookie-infused milk and add it to a shot of espresso with a sprinkle of cinnamon graham crumbles on top.
Instead of cereal, however, the coffee gurus used a graham cracker taste to give the latte that toasted, autumn vibe.
Starbucks tweeted a photo of the beverage.
Starbucks first tested the order and pay ahead system in Portland past year and later expanded it to 3,400 of its company-owned locations.
“Leftovers” may not be the first flavor that comes to mind when you sip a steamy $6 latte, but the beverage is reminiscent of the sweet creaminess of Fior di Latte gelato, popular in Europe.
A grande size of the new beverage has 300 calories, 40 grams of sugar and 6 grams of saturated fat, according to Starbucks’ nutritional information.
As winter slowly descends on us at an alarming rate, you can always rely on Starbucks to provide you with a warming and tasty pick-me-up. Today we all welcome Fall, and today Starbucks enthusiasts welcome the Toasted Graham Latte.

The special cups will be available through the end of October, and Starbucks employees will be writing customers’ names – with varying degrees of accuracy, we imagine – in fall-friendly orange markers.
