Dunkin’s fall menu for 2025 arrives with a mix of nostalgic comfort and new flavor concepts. As the days begin to shorten and consumer demand shifts toward seasonal indulgence, the brand has reintroduced fan favorites and launched a few unexpected choices. Among the returning pumpkin-flavored staples is a surprising newcomer designed to taste like a bowl of cereal milk.
New drink highlights
At the center of the fall lineup is the Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte. It returns as a crowd-pleaser, blending pumpkin and vanilla flavors with whipped cream, caramel drizzle and cinnamon sugar. This seasonal drink is available hot or iced and continues to perform well across all age demographics.
This year’s menu standout is the Cereal N’ Milk Latte. Dunkin has paired espresso with flavors inspired by sweet cereal milk and toasted marshmallow. The result is a creamy beverage designed to evoke childhood breakfasts while staying grounded in the coffee-forward profiles Dunkin is known for. The drink is already generating buzz among younger customers and trending in early taste tests.
Also joining the fall lineup are three Daydream Refreshers, part of a collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter. These are available in strawberry, mango and mixed berry flavors, each blended with green tea, oatmilk and cold foam. The beverages aim to appeal to health-conscious customers looking for a lighter seasonal drink option.
New food offerings and fan favorites
On the food front, the Iced Pumpkin Loaf has made its debut. This moist pumpkin bread features cream cheese icing and an orange drizzle. Designed for pairing with either hot coffee or chilled refreshers, it adds a sweet and rich component to the morning menu.
The Kreme Delight Donut is another new item, filled with vanilla-flavored buttercreme and topped with white icing and orange sprinkles. It leans heavily into seasonal aesthetics and flavor, aligning with visual trends that tend to perform well on social media.
For savory options, Dunkin has introduced Chipotle Loaded Hash Browns. These are topped with melted cheddar cheese and seasoned with chipotle bacon flavoring. The item builds on existing ingredients but brings a sharper edge to the typically mild breakfast side.
Returning to the menu are seasonal staples like the Pumpkin Cake Donut and Pumpkin Munchkins. Maple Sugar Bacon also makes a comeback, along with other fall-inspired baked goods such as the Braided Apple Pie and Ham and Swiss Croissant Stuffers. To round things out, the $6 Meal Deal is available again, offering a breakfast sandwich, hash browns and a small coffee as part of a value-driven bundle.
Timing and seasonal strategy
Dunkin officially launched its fall offerings on August 20, marking an early entry compared to Starbucks and other competitors. The brand appears to be taking advantage of consumer readiness for autumn flavors, which has continued to shift earlier each year. This timing positions Dunkin to capture the first wave of seasonal spending.
There are reports suggesting a second menu update is scheduled for October 15. While not yet confirmed by the company, leaks indicate a possible rollout of Halloween-themed beverages and bakery items that lean into darker flavors and candy-inspired creations. If accurate, this two-phase approach will allow Dunkin to maintain seasonal relevance through the full stretch of fall.
