There was a time when I was routinely visiting Dunkin’ and ordering the same thing every time (a caramel swirl latte, egg and cheese Wake-Up wrap and hash browns, in case you’re wondering). If you’re like me, odds are you don’t even investigate what’s available before opting for your usual breakfast . But did you know there are endless items to consider on the Dunkin’ secret menu? (It’s not an official lineup; just a collection of fan-favorite inventions that’s been passed around the internet.) Here are 21 creations that I’m eager to taste, from dessert-inspired iced coffees to frozen treats.
The 27 Best Starbucks Secret Menu Drinks, Chosen by a Former Starbucks Barista
Dunkin’ Secret Menu Drinks
1. Captain Crunch Coolatta
- What to Order: strawberry Coolatta with cream and blueberry and raspberry flavor shots
This vibrant pink sipper reminds me of the secret menu cotton candy Frappuccino from Starbucks , but its flavor is likely much fruitier. Topping it with whipped cream is technically optional…but I can’t imagine why you’d skip it. Bonus points for finishing it with Cap’n Crunch Berries for good measure.
2. Chocolate-Covered Raspberry Hot Chocolate
- What to Order: hot chocolate with a raspberry flavor shot
There’s no mystery behind this one’s deliciousness. The hot chocolate is creamy, rich and sweet as is. The raspberry flavor shot (which is unsweetened—flavor swirls, another customization option, are thicker and sweet) simply adds fruity nuance to the drink without making it even more sugary.
3. Birthday Cake Iced Coffee
- What to Order: iced coffee with French vanilla and hazelnut swirls
Dunkin’ used to offer a Cake Batter syrup, but in its absence, there’s this nostalgic workaround to sip on instead. Nutty, sweet and creamy (because you should, of course, cut the coffee with milk), it’s begging for a whipped cream topper and a flourish of sprinkles.
4. Strawberry Shortcake Coolatta
- What to Order: 50/50 blend of strawberry and vanilla bean Coolattas
Two timeless favorites, one drool-worthy beverage. The version listed here is as simple as it gets, but some recipes also call for hazelnut and toasted almond flavor shots, as well as a few drizzles of strawberry Coolatta syrup around the cup before pouring in the drink.
5. Caramel Coconut Crème Pie Iced Coffee
- What to Order: iced coffee with milk, caramel swirl and coconut flavor shot
Sweet, luxurious caramel and nutty, tropical coconut are a natural match. You can make the Dunkin’ secret menu item more bitter or intense by asking for a redeye (that’s a coffee with an espresso shot) or add a pump of mocha for a Girl Scouts Samoa-inspired spin.
6. Eggnog Latte
- What to Order: chai latte with salted caramel cold foam
There’s no actual eggnog in it, but the warm spiced flavor of the chai makes for a surprising substitute. Alternatively, you can order a chai (hot or iced) with vanilla and caramel swirls if you’re not into a salty-sweet vibe.
7. Frozen Mocha
- What to Order: 50/50 blend of frozen hot chocolate and coffee Coolatta
This caffeinated mashup is basically impossible to dislike. The Coolatta rounds out the drink’s sweetness with a touch of bitterness that likely enhances the chocolatey flavor to boot. That’s a win-win in my eyes.
8. Nutella Iced Coffee
- What to Order: iced coffee with hazelnut flavor shot and mocha swirl
It’s a flavor combination I’ll never get sick of (and I’m betting you feel the same). If you want this coffee extra sweet, opt for hazelnut swirl instead of a flavor shot for more sugar.
9. Toasted French Vanilla Latte
- What to Order: French vanilla latte with toasted almond shots
When it comes to ice cream , French vanilla is richer in flavor than vanilla, due to a custard-like base that contains egg yolks. But with coffee (at least at Starbucks), French vanilla means a 50/50 split of vanilla and hazelnut syrups. Here, it’s even nuttier, thanks to toasted almond flavoring. Up the ante by asking for almond milk instead of dairy milk.
10. Cinnamon Toast Crunch Frozen Coffee
- What to Order: frozen coffee with flavor shots of caramel and vanilla and cinnamon sugar on top
Sugar, spice and everything nice—what’s not to love about this frosty bev? The frozen coffee is already sweetened, so don’t worry about the flavor shots being unsweetened. (Although you can certainly substitute flavor swirls if you want it sweeter.)
11. Coco Berry Latte
- What to Order: mocha latte with a blueberry flavor shot
Chocolate and berry may seem like a strange combination at first, but it’s kind of a sure thing if you ask me. You can also opt for a cold brew instead of a latte, or double down on the fruit by adding a raspberry flavor shot to the mix.
12. Frozen Cookie Dough Coffee
- What to Order: frozen coffee with two pumps each of mocha, French vanilla and caramel swirls
Yup, this one is surely super sweet. But hey, it’s supposed to taste like cookie dough, so I can’t knock it for living up to its name. I’ll take caramel and mocha drizzle on top, please.
13. Oreo Iced Coffee
- What to Order: iced coffee, three creams, two sugars and one pump each of vanilla bean, French vanilla and mocha
Rumor has it that this Dunkin’ secret menu item tastes just like your favorite cookie. I’m betting a dusting of flaky salt on top (or salted caramel cold foam) would help imitate the Oreo’s signature subtle saltiness and make the overall flavor that much richer.
14. Black and White Coolatta
- What to Order: 50/50 blend of vanilla bean Coolatta and frozen hot chocolate
Alternatively, the barista can make a vanilla bean Coolatta, reserve half the blender’s contents, add mocha to the other half, then combine in a single cup. But the frozen hot chocolate version is certainly easier to order, IMO.
15. Snickerdoodle Frozen Coffee
- What to Order: frozen coffee and equal pumps of caramel, French vanilla and hazelnut
All the brown-sugary splendor of your favorite fall cookie, in sippable form. It’s likely pretty nutty and sweet (you can add an espresso shot to the mix to make the coffee flavor more robust). Finish it with cinnamon sugar and caramel for a bit of razzle-dazzle.
16. Cotton Candy Coolatta
- What to Order: vanilla bean Coolatta with blue raspberry syrup
Much like the Starbucks blended alternative (which is a Vanilla Bean Crème Frappuccino with raspberry syrup), this one is sweet, nostalgic and kid-friendly. But instead of being a vibrant pink, it’s sky blue. Whichever you choose, you’ll be hard pressed not to share a photo to your Instagram story.
17. Blueberry Cobbler
- What to Order: iced coffee with blueberry and butter pecan flavor shots with cream
Yum, liquid dessert. Nutty, fruity and comforting, this Dunkin’ secret menu pick was once a Member Exclusive drink on the app. But not to worry: You can still order one year-round. Use oat or almond milk in place of cream to get more of a cereal-like, oat streusel-y flavor.
Dunkin’ Secret Menu Foods
18. Breakfast Burrito
- What to Order: any desired breakfast components and a tortilla
Dunkin’ does have tortillas on hand for the Wake-Up Wraps. If you order bacon , hash browns and whatever other ingredients you’d like (like egg and cheese), you can assemble your own with a tortilla. You can also use your own larger tortilla to fit everything or pile the add-ons into a Wake-Up Wrap instead.
19. Loaded Bagel Sandwich
- What to Order: a bagel with cream cheese, Snackin’ Bacon and hash browns
Also referred to as Maddie’s Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich after the TikTokker who made it go viral, this order calls for three different breakfast foods that you assemble yourself on a single sandwich. I’d also recommend adding hot sauce and an over-easy egg, if you’re feeling ambitious.
20. Bacon Doughnut
- What to Order: a glazed or maple crème doughnut with crumbled Snackin’ Bacon
Again, this one is as simple as ordering two menu items and combining them to your liking. If your Dunkin’ location has the maple crème variety available, it’ll make a perfect pairing for smoky, salty bacon. If not, the glazed (or even the vanilla or chocolate frosted) is a solid alternative.
21. Doughnut Breakfast Sandwich
- What to Order: any breakfast sandwich and a glazed doughnut
Back in 2020, you could get the Beyond D-O-Double-G Sandwich, a Beyond sausage , egg and cheese on a glazed doughnut. While it’s no longer on the menu, you can still craft your own sweet sammy by ordering whichever handheld you’d like on the menu and subbing in a doughnut of your choice.
