Dunkin’ New Menu 2026

Dunkin’ has dropped more new menu items in 2026 than most chains release in two years. Three separate waves hit between March and late April alone. If you’ve been trying to keep up — or you just want to know what’s actually worth ordering before you walk in — this guide covers every confirmed item, every launch date, and the straight answer on which drinks live up to the buzz.

What Is the Dunkin’ New Menu in 2026? (Quick Answer)

Dunkin’s 2026 menu launch is in three waves. Phase 1, which began March 4, includes a banana-bling drink menu and the new Dunkin’ Zero energy drink, which is sugar-free. Wave 2 was also in March – featuring the Berry Acai Refresher and $6 Meal Deal. Wave 3 launches April 29 – a 22-item drop led by an OREO drink collaboration, a Dirty Pepsi soda, Refreshers in limeade and two new donut flavors.

No other article maps the full timeline. Here it is, in one place. For prices on every item, see the full Dunkin Donuts Menu with Prices 2026.

Wave 1: The Banana Lineup and Dunkin’ Zero (March 4, 2026)

Dunkin’ kicked off the menu season for 2026 with a big push on banana – a flavour that dominated TikTok in 2025 as part of the banana matcha craze. Its first big release featured banana cold foam and banana syrup modifiers, meaning that customers can put them in almost every iced beverage on the Dunkin Donuts Drink Menu.

Dunkin’s big three banana beverages are the Banana Puddin’ Cloud Latte, melding espresso and milk with banana taste and Banana Cold Foam; the Banana Daydream Refresher, which combines a fruit Refresher base with oatmilk; and the Bananarama Matcha, blending matcha with banana and vanilla custard flavoring. The Bananarama Matcha, one reviewer who sampled all three reports, stands out – banana flavor adds complexity but isn’t overpowering the matcha’s earthiness. See the full breakdown on the Dunkin Spring Menu 2026 guide.

Along with the banana drinks, Dunkin’ also introduced Dunkin’ Zero, a vitamin B-fortified, zero-sugar energy drink. Six flavors released at launch:

• Blackberry Tangerine
• Tropical Mango
• Juicy Peach
• Glamberry
• Sunzest
• Blushpop

Each is lightly carbonated. None contain coffee. Best early reviews were for Blackberry Tangerine – least sweet, most interesting flavour. The significance of Dunkin’ Zero goes far beyond the drink: Dunkin’ explicitly acknowledges its customers are not all coffee drinkers, and wants to create opportunities for those seeking an energy boost without coffee.

Wave 2: Berry Acai and the $6 Meal Deal (March 2026)

In the second wave, the Berry Acai Refresher was introduced, which can be enjoyed on its own or as the foundation for two app-only builds: the Bananaberry Protein Daydream Refresher and the Berry Acai Lemonade Refresher. The beverage combines the look and taste of an acai smoothie bowl.

At the food counter, the $6 Meal Deal was back: a breakfast sandwich with Bacon, Egg & Cheese, hash browns (french fries) and a medium hot or iced coffee. It’s less expensive than most other breakfast sandwich deals at major chains. For the latest Dunkin Donuts Breakfast Menu, and all sandwiches and prices.

Wave 3: The April 29 Drop — 22 New Items at Once

This is the one people have been waiting for. Rumored weeks ago on Instagram by food bloggers and confirmed by other sources, the April 29 menu is Dunkin’s most eclectic single day menu in recent memory.

The Full OREO Lineup: Four Drinks, One Partnership

Dunkin’ and Oreo partnered for Wave 3 in a way that touches every format on the menu — hot, iced, frozen, and matcha. This is not one novelty drink. It is a full takeover. For the deep dive on the frozen version, read the full Dunkin OREO Coolatta 2026 Guide.

Drink	Base	Toppings	Best For
OREO Cloud Latte	Espresso + milk + chocolate cookie swirl	Marshmallow Cold Foam + OREO crumbles	Dessert coffee lovers
OREO Matcha	Matcha + whole milk + vanilla shot	Marshmallow Cold Foam + OREO crumbles	Matcha fans who want sweetness
OREO Coffee Chiller	Frozen coffee + cream + chocolate cookie swirl	Whipped cream + mocha drizzle + OREO pieces	Hot weather, milkshake texture
OREO Coolatta	Vanilla bean Coolatta syrup + whole milk	Blended OREO crumbles	Non-coffee drinkers, nostalgia

The marshmallow cold foam is the thread connecting most of these drinks. It last appeared on Dunkin’ menus roughly two years before the 2026 spring launch, and its return has been one of the most requested items in Dunkin’s online comments. The OREO Cloud Latte is the best entry point for anyone new to this lineup — espresso gives it a coffee backbone that keeps it from tipping fully into dessert territory. Pair it with any item from the Dunkin Donuts Latte Menu for a full comparison of latte options.

The Dunkin’ Dirty Soda: Why This One Matters

The Dirty Pepsi is the most unique April 29 menu item. It’s made with Pepsi, Dunkin’s coffee milk (the same whole milk plus coffee extract as the Dunkalatte), and topped with sweet cold foam. Read the Dunkin Dirty Soda page for full ingredients and an estimated calorie count.

To appreciate why this is a big deal, let’s take a bit of history about dirty sodas. It began in 2010 in Utah when a drive-thru business, Swig, capitalised on flavored soda mixed with cream and syrup. The state’s strong LDS population (traditionally abstaining from both alcohol and coffee) was seeking new non-alcoholic beverages. In 2023, Olivia Rodrigo’s appearance with a Swig cup sped up the process.

Dunkin’s version is deliberate. The Pepsi base is a co-branding strategy. The coffee milk is a Dunkin’s product without coffee. And the sweet cold foam renders it photogenic on TikTok. It’s a strategic move to own a category that no other coffee chain is dominating. To view allergens and ingredients for all new products, see the Dunkin Allergen Menu 2026.

PRO TIP: Ordering the Dirty Soda Ask for light cold foam if you want it to taste more like a refreshing drink and less like dessert. The coffee milk base already carries sweetness, so the foam can push it over the edge if poured heavy.

Limeade: Dunkin’s New Beverage Base

Limeade arrives in Wave 3 as both a standalone drink and a new mixer option for Refreshers and matcha. Three standalone limeade flavors launch April 29: Original, Raspberry, and Coconut.

As a mixer, limeade appears most notably in the Cherry Lime Rickey Refresher — a combination of Dunkin’s new black cherry syrup with the tart citrus base. The Matcha Limeade pairs earthy matcha with citrus. Both are available through the Dunkin Donuts Refreshers page which covers all Refresher bases and customization options.

Cherry Daydream Refreshers

The April 29 launch expands the Daydream Refresher line with a brand-new black cherry syrup. Four cherry-based variations use it:

• Cherry Daydream Refresher — black cherry syrup with oatmilk and sweet cream cold foam
• Cherry Lime Rickey Refresher — cherry meets limeade for a tart, summer-ready drink
• Cherry Protein Daydream — protein milk base with cherry syrup
• Very Cherry Refresher — straight cherry fruit notes, no dairy modifier

The Cherry Lime Rickey is the most distinct of the four — the only one where limeade and cherry interact rather than cherry sitting on top of an oatmilk base.

New Food: Fruit Punch Donut and Fruit Punch Munchkins

Two new food items complete the April 29 launch. The Fruit Punch Classic Donut brings a fruit punch-flavored glaze and crumbles on a standard donut base. The Fruit Punch Munchkins layer fruit punch crumbles over a blueberry donut hole — the combination creates a layered sweetness that separates these from standard glazed Munchkins. Both are limited-time items in keeping with Dunkin’s bright, fruit-forward 2026 strategy. See how they fit into the full Dunkin Donuts Nutrition guide for calorie context.

Dunkin’ New Menu 2026 vs. Starbucks: The Direct Comparison

One of the most searched questions this spring is which chain has the stronger new menu. Here is the honest answer:

Category	Dunkin’ 2026	Starbucks Spring 2026
Signature theme	OREO + Dirty Soda + Limeade	Coconut + Lavender
Non-coffee options	Dunkin’ Zero, Limeade, Dirty Soda	Refreshers, Lemonade
Dessert coffee	OREO Cloud Latte, OREO Chiller	Lavender Cream Oatmilk Latte
Food anchor	Fruit Punch Donut, $6 Meal Deal	Butter Croissant variations
Price anchor	$6 bundled Meal Deal	Individual item pricing
Unique category	Soda-coffee hybrid (no competition)	None equivalent

For everyday coffee drinkers who prioritize variety and value, Dunkin’s April 2026 drop is the stronger launch. In the soda-coffee hybrid and OREO partnership categories specifically, Dunkin’ has no direct competition from any major chain right now.

What Dunkin’s 2026 Menu Strategy Actually Tells You

Three waves in four months. Zero-sugar energy drinks. A dirty soda. OREO across four formats. A limeade base. Banana everything.

The throughline is not nostalgia or gimmick. Dunkin’ is systematically building non-coffee entry points into its menu — products that serve customers who don’t identify as coffee drinkers. Dunkin’ Zero, the Dirty Pepsi, the Limeade line, and the OREO Coolatta all do the same job: they bring a new customer in the door without requiring that customer to want espresso.

Social media engagement around the Wave 3 leak was among the highest Dunkin’ has seen for a seasonal drop, driven specifically by the Dirty Soda — the most polarizing item on the menu precisely because it challenges what Dunkin’ is supposed to be.

The chain that built its identity on “America Runs on Dunkin'” is now explicitly building a menu for people who do not run on coffee at all. That is the real story of the 2026 menu.
