What to order at Dunkin'
Dunkin' is built for speed, so the best orders are the simple ones done right. Here's what to order and how to keep it from being too sweet.
Order this at Dunkin'
1Iced coffee with cream and one pump of flavour
Dunkin's iced coffee is its best product when it isn't over-sweetened.
2Cold brew with sweet cold foam
Smoother than the iced coffee and needs no added sugar.
3Sourdough breakfast sandwich
Better bread than the croissant and it holds up on the drive.
4Hash browns
Seasoned, not plain — the most underrated item on the menu.
5Boston Kreme or old fashioned donut
The one filled and the one plain donut that are consistently good.
Ordering tips
- Ask for 'one pump' — the default flavour shot count is high enough to bury the coffee.
- Flavour shots are unsweetened; flavour swirls are sweetened. Shots keep it lighter.
- Order espresso drinks with less ice if you want the drink to last.
- Donuts are freshest in the morning; afternoon runs are better for coffee and sandwiches.
Frequently asked questions
What should I order at Dunkin'?
An iced coffee with cream and one pump of flavour, or cold brew with sweet cold foam. For food, the sourdough breakfast sandwich with hash browns is the best pairing. Add a Boston Kreme if you want the classic donut.
What's the difference between a flavour shot and a flavour swirl at Dunkin'?
Flavour shots are unsweetened and sugar-free, so they add taste without sweetness. Swirls are sweetened, creamy and much heavier. If your Dunkin' coffee usually tastes too sweet, order shots instead of swirls.
What is the best donut at Dunkin'?
Boston Kreme and glazed are the most ordered, and the old fashioned is the best plain one. Anything with a filling is best in the morning while it's fresh.
What is the best iced coffee order at Dunkin'?
Medium iced coffee, cream, one pump of caramel or French vanilla, light ice. That keeps the coffee flavour and stops the sugar from taking over.
