Dunkin' Iced Churro Signature LatteDunkin’ is hopping straight into spring.
On Wednesday, the coffee chain announced seasonal spring offerings, including a churro signature latte, cinnamon vanilla coffee and a churro donut.
Available iced or hot, the new latte is a blend of espresso with churro flavors. It’s complete with a dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
The cinnamon vanilla coffee is a toned down version of the latte. Made with Dunkin’s coffee and cream, it’s mixed with a vanilla shot and churro syrup.
PEOPLE tried both new innovations, which delivered on their spicy-sweet promise. The churro signature latte is the perfect creamy, light color. It tastes like a luscious, cinnamon dessert in a cup. As for the cinnamon vanilla coffee, its bright flavor complemented by the spiced notes makes it the perfect transition from winter into spring. It’s slightly less punchy than the extra sweet latte.

Dunkin' churro donutAlong with the new coffees, Dunkin’ is introducing a matching sweet treat: the churro donut. The confection is lathered in cinnamon sugar and is crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside.
The donut chain is also introducing its first breakfast empanada. The morning treat is made of scrambled eggs, sausage and cheddar cheese wrapped inside a flaky, buttery crust. To round out the spring food offerings, Dunkin’ dropped a new banana chocolate chip bread.

Dunkin' breakfast empanadaFor those who prefer an extra kick to their day, the brand introduced a new caffeinated concoction: SPARKD’ Energy by Dunkin’. The iced energy drinks, which are made with vitamins, minerals and a “kick of caffeine,” come in two flavors: the berry burst and the peach sunshine. The former gives raspberry and strawberry notes, while the latter contains lychee and peach flavors.
Earlier this month, Dunkin’ made headlines with the brand’s hilarious Super Bowl commercial, which saw Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Tom Brady forming a boy band called the DunKings.
In honor of the silly spot, the coffee chain rolled out a DunKings menu nationwide, including Affleck’s very own drink.
Affleck’s drink is made of Affleck's "go-to order": iced coffee with cream and notes of vanilla, and topped with sweet cold foam and a dusting of cinnamon sugar.
The DunKings menu also features Munchkins Skewers, which Damon held in the commercial. It's three assorted Munchkins on a stick, which can be added to any beverage (like olives on a martini) — or can be ordered on its own.
Other menu items include the Everything Encore Breakfast Sandwich, an an everything bagel with sweet black pepper, seasoned bacon, white cheddar cheese and egg; Hazelnut Heartthrob Iced Coffee, a hot or iced coffee blended with sweet caramel, notes of hazelnut and whole milk; and the Mixed Berry Beats Dunkin’ Refresher, a strawberry Dragonfruit Dunkin’ Refresher with an extra shot of raspberry flavor.
