Pumpkin Spice Coffee is back at Whitehouse Station, New Jersey-based QuickChek. The drink returned Monday, and the convenience-store chain’s full pumpkin-inspired menu will be available Aug. 25. 

QuickChek’s Pumpkin Spice Coffee, crafted from 100% Arabica beans and locally roasted for bold flavor and maximum freshness, is a medium roast with “notes of rich pumpkin compounded with an aromatic blend of nutmeg, cinnamon, clove and ginger,” the company said. 

  • Murphy USA is No. 4 on CSP’s 2025 Top 202 ranking of U.S. convenience-store chains by store count.

“Some people may argue it is too early for pumpkin-flavored food and drinks, but we wanted to be the first to market for true fans of the official start of fall,” said Blake Segal, senior vice president of QuickChek, which is owned by El Dorado, Arkansas-based Murphy USA. “Launching our Pumpkin Spice Coffee has become a tradition at QuickChek and we are excited to offer our loyal customers an early taste of their seasonal favorite.” 

Pumpkin Spice Coffee is available hot, iced, frozen—or to take home.

Hot and iced: At QuickChek’s self-serve coffee bar, customers can customize their brew with more than 20 creamer options, including dairy, non-dairy and plant-based; a variety of sweeteners; and toppings at no additional charge. Customers can buy a Pumpkin Spice Coffee for 99 cents when they add a breakfast sandwich or burrito.

Frozen: It’s available handcrafted and made to order.

Take home: Pumpkin Spice Coffee is available in 64-ounce brew boxes. Also, beginning Aug. 25, it will be available in bags of ground coffee and as K-Cups.

QuickChek’s pumpkin-infused drinks and smoothies will be available at all locations across New Jersey, the Hudson Valley and Long Island while supplies last, the company said.

El Dorado, Arkansas-based Murphy USA operates one of the nation’s largest convenience-store chains, operating in 27 states, located primarily in the Southwest, Southeast, Midwest and Northeast, the majority of which are next to Walmart Supercenters. It acquired QuickChek in January 2021
