Starbucks is getting ready for spring—and the coffee chain's loyal customers are particularly excited about the resurgence of one floral flavor.

In a statement shared with Parade, Starbucks confirmed the return of its lavender drink menu, including the Iced Lavender Cream Oatmilk Matcha and the Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte.

Food blogger Markie Devo also teased the Starbucks spring menu in an Instagram post on Monday, Jan. 27, announcing the introduction of the Iced Cherry Chai—which includes "Cherry Cream Cold Foam with subtle floral and almond notes" and is topped with a "cherry crunch flavored" topping—as well as two new Iced Energy drinks in cans (Tropical Peach and Blueberry Lemonade) in addition to the lavender beverages.

The spring menu features new non-drink items, too: The Jalapeño Chicken Pocket, which is made with a "toasted chile lavish flatbread" and "stuffed with diced chicken, charred poblanos, green jalapeños, three-chile-pepper cheese and jalapeño cream cheese," and two flavors of Truff Hot Sauce (Original Hot Sauce and Jalapeño Lime Hot Sauce).

Fans were thrilled to hear that the lavender drinks would be making a comeback.

"Imma need to try that first one! I’m soooo happy the lavender is coming back! I absolutely loved it," wrote one person.

"I loved the lavender Matcha...tasted like cereal," remembered a second commenter.

"Oh thank heavens Lavender is back!!🙌," raved someone else, with another person chiming in to say they're "so happy the lavender is back! 🤤 And can’t wait to try that cherry chai!"

Not everybody was happy about the lavender drinks returning, however.

"OK, lavender is my favorite scent, but I just could never drink it or eat it 🤢," somebody admitted.

"I have never had lavender it just sounds nasty but maybe I am wrong," agreed another skeptic.

The Starbucks spring menu will reportedly be available nationwide in March, though it's not clear exactly when or for how long.
