Fans will no longer have to wait until fall each year to get their hands on one Starbucks favorite. On October 24, 2024, the company confirmed via Instagram that it has heard customers' pleas for the Baked Apple Croissant to become a permanent menu item,

After leaving the menu for almost a year, the baked apple croissant is back at Starbucks for fall. Even better, it's now a permanent menu item.

Patrons look forward to seeing seasonal menu items on their favorite menus. Luckily for Starbucks customers, this bakery item is officially here to stay.

Narasimhan’s replacement was immediately cheered by some of Starbucks’ biggest investors, and Wall Street responded with enthusiasm as the share price rose 25% in one day after the announcement. Niccol was viewed as a fixer for the stalled brand, which has dealt with struggling sales in its biggest markets like the U.S. and China.

The new boss of Starbucks says he will overhaul the global coffee chain's menu as the company continues to see its sales slide. Brian Niccol also announced that he was suspending the firm's financial forecasts for the coming year due to the "current state of the business".
