- Latte
A latte without the perfect layer of foam, cannot be called a true latte. Fortunately for us, Dunkin offers a ‘true latte’.
The rich notes of espresso, lacing their way through creamy steamed milk, are accentuated by the fact that Dunkin’s espresso is freshly ground and brewed in-house.
This is a must-try, for sure! By the way, ‘latte’ translates to ‘milk’ in Italian, but the latte as we understand it is derived from ‘Caffe e latte’, which means ‘espresso and milk’. Fun facts!
- Macchiato
Looking for that extra caffeine kick without a bitter aftertaste? Good, then Dunkin’s macchiato is the drink for you.
Made with two shots of espresso mixed with rich and creamy milk (or dairy alternative), this drink is a great way to start off your day, or to supply you with a pick-me-up, should your day be not-so-stress free.
Either way, it is a great-tasting hot coffee drink! Hold on. Ever wondered who invented the macchiato? While there is no definitive “aha!” moment, most coffee experts agree that the macchiato was first created in Italy during the 1980s.
It was apparently an attempt to distinguish an espresso beverage that included a drop of milk. Who knew? We all do now!
- Cappuccino
What’s the happy medium when it comes to flavor? For coffee, it’s the smoky notes of espresso combined with just the right amount of milk (whole or skim), steamed to tasty delicious perfection.
The rich aroma alone is enough to make your mood go from good to great, but wait until you taste it. Unassuming, yet oh so smooth and wonderful. Trust us and try it
- Espresso
Sometimes simplicity is the best form of purity. If you’re looking for a high-quality coffee at Dunkin, then espresso brewed from the finest Arabica beans is just what you need.
The natural slightly sweet and citrus flavor of the beans is easily discerned in a Dunkin Donuts espresso. The balance of sweet, smooth, and bold flavors combined in a single little cup of coffee is what all coffee lovers seek. Look no further than here, to find it!
- Signature LatteLooking for a twist on a classic? Then the Signature Latte is the drink for you. Made with the same high-quality ingredients as their standard latte, the Signature Latte, is given a personality of its own.
With the addition of whipped cream, pumpkin flavor swirl syrup, caramel craze, or cocoa mocha, and toppings of your choice it’s super customizable. You can make this hot coffee drink your own, so customize it away!

Americano
A standard at most coffee shops, the Americano at Dunkin Donuts, is anything but standard fare.
Made from a double shot of Dunkin’s 100% Rainforest Alliance Certified espresso, diluted with the perfect amount of hot water, creates a drink bursting with robust coffee flavors that put all others to shame. We’re not in the business of shaming, but let’s just say this coffee’s flavor stands out in a crowd.
For the purpose of enlightenment, the Rainforest Alliance Certification Program is a way of guaranteeing that an ingredient has been produced in a socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable manner. Sourcing matters. Thanks, Dunkin!
- Dunkaccino
Can’t make up your mind between coffee or hot chocolate? Why not have both? A Dunkaccino is the ideal pairing of sweet and smoky flavors. Its name doesn’t quite describe just how tasty the drink is, but imagine a coffee mixed with hot chocolate and you have yourself a Dunkaccino. Marvelous!
- Chai LatteA blend of tea and spices (think cardamom, nutmeg, and cinnamon), all steeped in a steaming cup of milk, making your drink as delectable as possible, lays the groundwork for a warm and soothing hot drink experience that’s second to none.
Need to wind down the day properly? We highly recommend the Chai Latte here! Real quick though, what is chai?
The actual word comes from the Hindi for ‘tea’, and is used to describe a spiced tea blend in which black tea has been infused with spices such as the aforementioned ones.
- Vanilla SpiceWhile it’s not coffee, it is a hot caffeinated drink. Considering that this drink contains tea and tea contains caffeine, this warm, welcoming beverage will make your day, for sure.
It’s made by steaming milk together with vanilla and spices rendering the mixture as flavorful as you can imagine. So, if coffee doesn’t take your fancy, then maybe this drink will. You won’t know until you try it though!
- Matcha LatteA thick and creamy concoction that’s sure to boost your mood. Matcha green tea, blended into milk, is the foundation for your sipping pleasure.
Personalize this drink and make it a true expression of who you are and what you like, and if that doesn’t sound like a cup full of fun, well then, what is?
For those who aren’t quite sure, what exactly, matcha is, it’s powdered green tea made from young tea leaves that are typically whisked with hot water, to create a foamy, light, and aromatic green tea that is much more subtle, than the tea brewed by infusing the leaves into a hot liquid. A subtle tea flavor intermingling with the silkiness of milk? Yes please!
- Hot ChocolateAs we head into cooler weather, there’s nothing like a hot cup of liquid magic, erm… chocolate (same thing), to warm you from top to bottom. Dunkin’s hot chocolate comes in a variety of flavors; in addition to the original flavor, you can also enjoy this drink in espresso, mint, and Oreo flavors.
As a side note – the Aztecs used chocolate as a form of currency, and as a celebratory beverage when closing deals.
Here we are today, still drinking the delicious drink, not necessarily to close deals but just because, and with places like Dunkin’s serving it up in a range of tasty flavors, well, let’s just say we struck liquid gold.
- Premium Hot Teas and Herbal Infusions
There is a tea for every season and at this establishment, it means enjoying flavors like chamomile, cool mint, hibiscus, harmony leaf green tea, and the ever-faithful breakfast black tea.
A traditional hot tea might not be quintessentially American, but that doesn’t make it any less amazing to drink. Being able to try and test different flavors of tea allows us to expand our beverage imbibing stomping grounds to other hot drink beverages out there.
Try these! We think you’ll really like them.
