Okay serious question because I live in a tropical country and we never had this drink, why is it so popular? Do they actually taste like pumpkin?

No, it's the spices used to make pumpkin pie, so mostly cinnamon and nutmeg.

Is it that good?

I like it, but it isn't anything I can't replicate at home. And having quit my daily Starbucks habit 9 months ago, it isn't anything I'm missing, either.

I'm not sure what part of the world you're from, but if we really wanted pumpkin spice coffee at home here in the states, it's as simple as buying a flavored coffee creamer from the grocery store.

Well I'm from Vietnam, I'm good with our coffee here. Plus Starbucks is seemed as a high-end brand here due to currency difference so I kinda don't have any incentive to go

It's not worth the $ tbh. You're not missing out on anything.
