The pumpkin patch may be populated with mere pewee-sized versions of the ghord right now, but at least one QSR is ready to roll with its annual gastronomic salute to the squash. Dunkin' is bringing back its pumpkin menu items "earlier than ever" this year on Aug. 19, according to a news release.

Options include the Pumpkin Spice Latte and a chai latte as well as pumpkin-flavored coffee. Other fall items include apple cider doughnuts and Munchkins, pumpkin doughnuts and a maple sugar bacon breakfast sandwich as well as stuffed bagel minis, Steak & Cheese Rollups and Maple Sugar Seasoned Snackin' Bacon.

"This is one of the most anticipated times of the year for Dunkin' guests, and we're excited to make pumpkin favorites available at Dunkin' restaurants earlier than ever," Jill Nelson, vice president, marketing strategy, said in the release.

Dunkin' is based in Canton, Massachusetts, and has more than 13,100 stores globally.
