Dunkin’ Donuts Fall Drink Ranking Review

· 4 min read

Fall is finally here, and everyone's favorite part of the season has come along with it: fall-themed drinks. Dunkin Donuts is one of the most popular chains to recently release their 2024 fall menu. The menu includes classics like the signature pumpkin spice latte and some new drinks such as the nutty pumpkin coffee and the almond spice coffee. To find the best way to get into the mood for autumn, we decided to find the best drinks on Dunkin’s fall menu!

  1. Iced Pumpkin Vanilla Oat Milk Latte

Of all the drinks on the Dunkin Donuts fall menu, the Iced Pumpkin Vanilla Oat Milk Latte took first place by far. It is a delicious blend of flavor-filled oat milk with flavorful hints of pumpkin and vanilla mixed in with it. It has the perfect amount of sweetness without it being overpowering. Having this on a cool fall day is the perfect way to get you in the mood for autumn!

This was an unexpectedly delicious drink since Dunkin Macchiatos are often some of their less tasty options. The flavor is similar to their popular Iced Caramel Latte. The only downside is that the fall flavors in the drink are mild. We would think it was vanilla if not for its pumpkin-flavored label. However, the drink is so good that the lack of fall flavor is acceptable. It is a fantastic drink, but like many Dunkin drinks, it lacks the essence of fall.

  1. Iced Almond Spice Coffee

The Almond Spice Coffee came out as one of our top drinks with its subtle yet delicious blend of almond and spice. Allderdice senior Vega Mani says, “Amazing, awesome, so immaculate. I love the fall spiced flavor; it gives the perfect taste combined with the almond milk. I would recommend it as my favorite fall drink.”

  1. Iced Nutty Pumpkin Coffee

Everything you need to know about this drink is in the title. The nutty and pumpkin flavors are delicious yet not too overpowering. If you want a caffeinated beverage that is not too sweet but still has those signature fall flavors, this is the drink for you. 

  1. Pumpkin Frozen Coffee

The Pumpkin Frozen coffee came with a very delicious, strong initial flavor. It was strong in sweetness, caffeine, and pumpkin flavor. Unlike many other Dunkin fall drinks, this frozen coffee tasted like pumpkin, making it the perfect fall drink.

  1. Iced Pumpkin Chai Latte

At first glance, the drink seems watered down with milk; unfortunately, it also tastes that way. The general sweetness overpowered its mild chai flavor. However, Dunkin is known for being somewhat unpredictable with their distribution of flavors and milk in a drink, so it is possible we just got unlucky with this order. The drink contains equal parts chai and pumpkin concentrate, but we recommend getting either less chai or more pumpkin for anyone looking for a less caffeinated, coffee-free fall drink.

  1. Iced Pumpkin Signature Latte

This drink had quite an unexpected flavor. It looks like a sweet, sugary drink, but it has a very strong coffee flavor and minimal sweetness. There is little to no pumpkin taste; in fact, it tastes like any other iced coffee with a bit of sugar. The only pumpkin flavor came from the pumpkin spice sprinkled on top. We recommend this drink to someone looking for something more caffeinated and not too sweet.

  1. Pumpkin Cold Brew

The Pumpkin cold brew was surprisingly not a good drink. The pumpkin flavor was strange and more chemically than pumpkin-y. This could potentially be an ideal drink for someone who really enjoys cold brew, however, we would not recommend this for the majority of Dunkin-enjoyers.
