As summer comes to an end, a fall season full of pumpkin delights is approaching.

Dunkin’ has not officially shared its fall menu launch date, but it can be estimated based on when it launched in previous years:

• 2020 : Wednesday, August 19
• 2021 : Wednesday, August 18
• 2022 : Wednesday, August 10
• 2023 : Wednesday, August 16

Food insider and influencer Markie Devo ( @markie_devo ) predicted the exact 2023 launch date about a month in advance and guessed this year’s launch in an Instagram post on August 2.

The food page rumored the highly anticipated fall menu would drop on August 28 this year, revealing items such as the new Dunkalatte, Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte, and Almond Spice Coffee.

Fall-themed food items include a Pumpkin Donut, Pumpkin Muffin, Maple Sugar Seasoned Bacon Sandwich, and Apple Cider Donut.

PUMPKIN PREVIEW

Several fans were disappointed at the late launch date, expecting the fall offerings to drop on August 16.

Others claimed they had already got their hands on Dunkin’s fall-themed menu.

“Finally got my hands on Dunkin’ Pumpkin Spice,” Dunkin’ fan Ametrues Trotman wrote in a Facebook post from August 14.

She shared the fall offering was available at the Dunkin’ on New Haven Road in Naugatuck, Connecticut – around 80 miles from New York City.

Although the drink has not yet officially launched, Dunkin’ fans can still get a taste of the fall-themed beverage with a menu hack.

George Medeiros, the manager at the Dunkin’ on New Haven Road in Naugatuck, Connecticut, confirmed to The U.S. Sun that they’re “already serving up Pumpkin Spice.”

Customers who come in-store can request their favorite coffee with the Pumpkin Swirl, a flavoring option.

Fans can add the Pumpkin Swirl flavoring option to hot or iced coffee, espresso drinks, cold brew, or frozen coffee to give them a pumpkin taste.

It’s a secret ingredient in Dunkin’s fall beverage lineup and is considered their most popular seasonal flavor.

Because the fall menu has not officially dropped, Dunkin’ customers can only request in-store flavor, not on the app.

Fans of the legal drinking age can also score the beloved fall flavor with the new Dunkin’ Spiked Pumpkin Spice Iced Latte.

The canned drink contains 6% alcohol, coffee, pumpkin spice flavor, and a vegan and lactose-free creamer.

It will be available in early August as a four-pack of 12-ounce cans and in stores wherever Dunkin’ Spiked Iced Coffees are sold.

Dunkin’ rival Starbucks spoke out about its long-awaited pumpkin drinks after the former’s fall menu was leaked.

Plus, fans fear pumpkin spice may be “dethroned” as customers turn to three new flavors for the season .
