Dunkin Donuts offers more than just delicious donuts. With their delicious coffee, combined with a donut or two, you can be sure you’ll get a tasty experience any time you visit the establishment. If you love coffee as much as we do, and enjoy trying different coffee flavors and combinations, then Dunkin Donuts coffee is for you. The only way (well, maybe not the only, but definitely one of the best way) to try new flavors of coffee is visiting this pink and orange brand that is known all across the United States – and even outside of the U.S. too. With a variety of flavors such as cookie dough, rocky road, butter pecan swirl, and even Almond Joy which is a special secret menu drink, you can quickly see the main difference between Dunkin’s coffee and a grocery store coffee.
Today we are sharing with you the best drinks from the Dunkin’ menu so you can pair it with your favorite coffee for a perfect choice. We even added a fun fact or two about Dunkin Donuts, that you can read while enjoying a cup of coffee. Let’s get started!
What is Dunkin Donuts?
You probably have seen a Dunkin Donuts somewhere in your city or town. Their bright sign colors are impossible to ignore! Dunkin’ Donuts is an American global doughnut company and coffeehouse chain based in Canton, Massachusetts. The chain was founded in 1950 by William Rosenberg in Quincy, Massachusetts.
Dunkin’ Donuts is America’s favorite every day, all-day stop for smooth coffee and baked goods. Dunkin’ Donuts is also the largest coffee and baked goods chain in the world. As of today, Dunkin’ Donuts has nearly 11,300 restaurants worldwide. Wow! Isn’t that impressive?
It was originally called Open Kettle which was renamed to Dunkin’ Donuts after its first franchised location opened in Quincy, Massachusetts by William Rosenberg.
Dunkin’ Donuts sells coffee and donuts. They also serve other beverages like iced coffee, iced tea, hot chocolate, frozen beverages like Coolatta®, espresso drinks, or frozen hot chocolate; breakfast sandwiches; and a variety of pastries including Munchkins® donut holes, and a variety of doughnuts.
Here are some fun facts about Dunkin’ Donuts coffee I found that I thought were interesting and worth sharing:
- All Dunkin’ Donuts coffee is made with 100% Arabic coffee beans and is brewed throughout the day.
- According to the Dunkin Donuts “Dunkin Coffee Beverages” fact sheet, there are over 25,000 ways to order coffee at Dunkin’. That is a lot of choices for coffee lovers!
- Their Dunkin’ Original Blend coffee is brewed throughout the day and if not used within 18 min they brew a new batch.

Best coffee at Dunkin Donuts
There are so many great options for coffee drinks at Dunkin’. Below I’ve listed a few of my favorites. I tend to enjoy something less sweet so if you enjoy something more sweet, take a look at the swirl and flavor shot options above.
For the black coffee drinkers looking for something with caffeine and cold, I recommend the cold brew coffee. I think it is the perfect drink and smoother than iced coffee. If you like something a little sweeter you can choose from any of the swirl flavor options or a flavor shot listed above.
I’m a fan of the peppermint mocha flavor so I often choose that during the holiday season when it is offered.
When I want something a bit sweeter I will order a latte with oatmilk and hazelnut flavor shot and sometimes hazelnut swirl.
And every once in a while, when I’m feeling crazy, I will order a Caramel Craze Signature Latte. It is super sweet like dessert.
If you only kind of like coffee – you enjoy the smell and a bit of coffee flavor – the Dunkaccino® might be a good choice for you especially if you want something hot. It combines coffee and hot chocolate.
I hope you’ve found this helpful for choosing your next coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts.
