As the leaves begin to change and the air turns crisp, Dunkin’ has unveiled its much-anticipated fall menu, featuring a blend of nostalgic flavors and new offerings that are sure to please coffee lovers and foodies alike. This year, Dunkin’ has made waves by introducing its innovative Cereal N’ Milk Latte and bringing back the perennial favorite, Pumpkin Spice. Here’s a closer look at Dunkin’s new lineup and what it brings to the table this fall.
Cereal N’ Milk Latte: Nostalgia in a Cup
One of the standout offerings this season is Dunkin’s Cereal N’ Milk Latte. The drink aims to evoke nostalgia by capturing the delightful experience of finishing a bowl of cereal. According to Anthony Epter, Dunkin’s Vice President of Menu Innovation, the Cereal N’ Milk Latte “combines espresso with cereal milk for a marshmallow-cereal flavor that’s creamy, rich and unmistakably nostalgic.”
The drink is available both hot and iced, making it versatile for any preference. The concept is rooted in the joy of savoring the final sips of sweet cereal milk, creating an experience that many will find both comforting and refreshing. This innovative addition also comes with a line of branded merchandise, allowing fans to wear their love for this cereal-inspired beverage proudly.
Sabrina Carpenter’s Daydream Refreshers
In a delightful collaboration, singer-songwriter Sabrina Carpenter has returned with a trio of Daydream Refresher drinks that are making waves this fall. Each refresher is crafted with oat milk and topped with cold foam. The new lineup includes mixed berry, alongside the previously introduced mango and strawberry flavors.
These refreshers allow customers to customize their drinks further by choosing from various bases like green tea, black tea, lemonade, sparkling water, or plain water. This customization creates a refreshing experience and caters to diverse taste preferences.
The Return of Pumpkin Spice: A Fall Staple
No fall menu would be complete without the iconic Pumpkin Spice flavors, and Dunkin’ has brought back its Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte, which features whipped cream and a caramel and cinnamon sugar topping. For those who are only mildly interested in pumpkin, Dunkin’ also offers a pumpkin flavor swirl that can be added to any hot or iced coffee, cold brew, or espresso drink.
This flexibility allows customers to dive into the fall season with their preferred level of pumpkin flavor, appealing to both die-hard fans and those who prefer milder tastes.
