Starbucks' Black Cat Frappuccino blended beverage arrives on Thursday, Oct. 22, 2026, along with a new Venti Black Night Cookie. Starbucks calls them limited-time Halloween treats for "select U.S. coffeehouses," so not every store is guaranteed to carry them, including stores in Murfreesboro.
What is the Black Cat Frappuccino?
Starbucks describes the Black Cat Frappuccino as a chocolate cake-flavored Crème Frappuccino. It is topped with whipped cream and chocolate pieces shaped like cat ears.
The Venti Black Night Cookie comes out the same day. Starbucks calls it a large, shareable black cocoa cookie with caramel fudge pieces and chunks of caramelized white chocolate.
Starbucks has not published prices for the drink or the cookie.
Will Murfreesboro Starbucks stores have it?
Starbucks has not released a list of participating stores. It says only that the drink and cookie will be at select U.S. coffeehouses starting Oct. 22. The best way to check a store near you is to open the Starbucks app or website on or after Oct. 22 and look at that store's menu.
As of Oct. 9, Starbucks' store locator lists seven company-operated Murfreesboro stores:
- 1641 North Memorial
- 1804 Old Fort Parkway
- 2935 S. Rutherford Blvd.
- 105 River Rock Road (Highway 96 and Cason Lane)
- 2711 Medical Center Parkway (The Avenue)
- 2904 S. Church St. (Highway 231 and Innsbrooke)
- 1144 Fortress Blvd. (Fortress and John Rice)
The locator also lists licensed Starbucks counters inside Target on Old Fort Parkway, two Kroger stores and MTSU's Walker Library.

- Black cat mug, a pumpkin-shaped ceramic mug with a black cat peeking in: $19.95
