Sonic Fall Menu
Have you ever noticed how every fall menu seems to look the same? Pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin shakes — it’s as if autumn has only one flavor. But this year, Sonic Drive-In decided to shake things up. Instead of pumpkin overload, the sonic is rolling out a Sonic fall menu that celebrates the cozy richness of salted caramel.
With the launch of the Salted Caramel Toffee Iced Coffee and Salted Caramel Croissant Bites, Sonic is giving pumpkin a well-deserved break — and giving fans a whole new way to savor fall.
Salted Caramel Toffee Iced Coffee: A Sweet Sip of Autumn
Coffee lovers are in for a treat. The Salted Caramel Toffee Iced Coffee blends smooth, bold coffee with creamy milk, buttery toffee, and the perfect touch of salted caramel. It’s indulgent yet refreshing — a fall drink that doesn’t weigh you down.
Unlike traditional pumpkin spice lattes, this iced coffee has a balance of sweet, nutty, and salty notes, making it perfect for both morning commutes and afternoon pick-me-ups. Served over Sonic’s iconic pebble ice, every sip delivers the right mix of creaminess and crunch.
Salted Caramel Croissant Bites: Flaky, Gooey Perfection
If you’ve ever wished fall desserts were more exciting than pumpkin bread, Sonic heard you. The new Salted Caramel Croissant Bites are bite-sized pastries filled with warm caramel and topped with a light drizzle of sea salt.
The flaky, buttery croissant exterior pairs perfectly with the gooey caramel center, creating a melt-in-your-mouth experience that feels like a bakery treat — but conveniently available at the drive-thru.
Why Sonic Skipped Pumpkin Spice This Year
Pumpkin spice has dominated fall menus for nearly two decades, but not everyone loves it. Sonic’s decision to skip the trend wasn’t just bold — it was strategic.
“Fall flavors don’t have to mean pumpkin spice on repeat. With the new Salted Caramel Toffee Iced Coffee and Salted Caramel Croissant Bites, SONIC is stepping in to give pumpkins a much-needed break, all while giving guests something just as craveable,” said Barb Williams, Vice President of Category Management at SONIC.
By spotlighting salted caramel, Sonic taps into another beloved fall flavor profile that resonates with dessert lovers, coffee fans, and anyone who craves something rich and cozy without the pumpkin aftertaste.
