Stepping up to the Dunkin’ counter can feel like a high stakes decision.
With a seemingly endless menu of coffees, lattes, teas, and frozen treats, how do you choose?
Whether you’re a daily regular looking to switch things up or a newcomer trying to find your go-to beverage, this guide is for you.
Coffee Classics
These are the tried-and-true favorites that form the foundation of the Dunkin’ menu. They are reliable, consistent, and serve as the perfect base for customization.
| Drink | Price (Medium) | Calories (Medium, Black) |
| Original Blend | $2.29 | 5 |
| Iced Coffee | $2.79 | 5 |
| Cold Brew | $3.49 | 5 |
Original Blend Coffee
The quintessential Dunkin’ experience. This medium-roast coffee is known for its smooth, balanced flavor.
It’s a dependable choice that never disappoints. Prices range from $1.69 for a small to $2.69 for a large.
Iced Coffee
A refreshing classic, Dunkin’s iced coffee is brewed hot and then cooled.
It has a bolder, slightly more acidic taste compared to Cold Brew, making it a great vehicle for milk and flavor shots. Prices range from $2.29 to $3.29.
Cold Brew
For those who prefer a smoother, less acidic coffee, Cold Brew is the answer. It’s steeped in cold water for 12 hours, resulting in a rich, full bodied flavor with a natural sweetness.
It costs a bit more, from $2.99 to $3.99, but many find it’s worth the upgrade.
Espresso Drinks
When you need an extra boost, Dunkin’s espresso-based drinks deliver. From creamy lattes to bold Americanos, each offers a different way to enjoy the rich flavor of espresso.
Lattes
A blend of espresso and steamed milk, available hot or iced. It’s a creamy, comforting choice that you can customize with various flavors.
Cappuccinos
Similar to a latte but with more foam. A hot cappuccino has equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam.
However, some find the foam dissipates quickly, so if you’re looking for a consistently creamy drink, a latte might be a better choice.
Macchiatos
This is a layered drink where espresso is poured over milk. The result is a beautiful gradient and a different taste experience as you sip.
Americanos
A simple yet powerful drink made by combining espresso with hot or iced water. It highlights the pure flavor of the espresso beans.
Teas and More
Not a coffee drinker? No problem. Dunkin’ offers a solid lineup of non-coffee beverages.
Hot & Iced Tea
From classic black tea to herbal options like Cool Mint, there’s a tea for every mood.
Matcha Latte
Made with a sweetened matcha green tea powder blended with milk, this drink offers an earthy, caffeinated alternative to coffee.
Hot Chocolate
A rich and creamy classic, perfect for a cold day. Dunkin’ also offers frozen and flavored versions.
Dunkin’ Refreshers
These vibrant drinks combine green tea extract for a caffeine boost with fruity flavors like Strawberry Dragonfruit and Mango Pineapple.
Frozen Drinks
When you’re craving something that feels more like a dessert, Dunkin’s frozen drinks hit the spot.
| Drink | Price (Medium) | Calories (Medium) |
| Frozen Coffee | $3.69 | 430 |
| Coolatta | $3.79 | 360 (Blue Raspberry) |
Frozen Coffee
A sweet, slushy blend of coffee, ice, and flavorings. It’s a perfect way to cool down and get a caffeine fix at the same time. Prices range from $2.69 to $4.19.
Coolatta
Dunkin’s signature fruit-flavored frozen beverage. It’s essentially a slushie, available in flavors like Blue Raspberry, Strawberry, and Vanilla Bean.
Prices range from $2.99 to $4.49.
Seasonal Favorites
One of the best parts of the Dunkin’ menu is its rotating selection of seasonal drinks. These limited-time offerings capture the flavors of the holidays and seasons.
The most famous is the Pumpkin Spice Latte, a fall staple that blends pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg flavors with espresso and milk.
It costs between $3.29 and $4.79. Keep an eye out for other seasonal creations throughout the year!
Drinks to Avoid
While taste is subjective, some Dunkin’ drinks consistently receive poor reviews from customers and critics.
Based on feedback, here are a few you might want to think twice about ordering:
Shamrock Macchiato
Many find the artificial Irish cream flavor tastes more chemical than creamy and clashes with the coffee.
Mango Pineapple Dunkin’ Refresher
The pineapple flavor tends to be overpowering and artificial, masking any hint of mango.
Hazelnut Coffee (from pre-ground beans)
Unlike the hazelnut flavor shot, the pre-flavored ground coffee can have a fake, chemical-like aftertaste.
Iced Americano
Since an Americano is just espresso and water, it can highlight any bitterness or flaws in the espresso beans.
If you’re not a fan of Dunkin’s espresso, you’ll likely find this drink too harsh.
Become a Customization Pro
The real magic of Dunkin’ lies in its customization options. You can create a drink that’s perfectly tailored to your tastes.
Here’s how to build your perfect drink:
Flavor Shots vs. Swirls
Unsweetened Flavor Shots (like vanilla, hazelnut, and toasted almond) add flavor without sugar.
Flavor Swirls (like caramel, mocha, and French vanilla) are sweetened and creamy.
Milk Alternatives
Swap out whole milk for almond milk (adds about 15-20 calories), oat milk (adds 30-60 calories), or coconut milk.
Sweeteners
Control the sweetness with sugar, Splenda, or Equal. You can ask for a specific number of pumps.
Add an Espresso Shot
Want more kick? Add an extra shot of espresso to any coffee drink.
Top it Off
Finish your drink with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
A fun fact for regulars: Dunkin’ has a “secret menu” created by fans! One popular combination is the “Almond Joy,” made by adding a toasted almond flavor shot and a mocha swirl to an iced coffee.
