The 10 Best Secret Menu Items to Try at Dunkin’

We never even knew some of these existed!

Dunkin’ doesn’t get enough credit for its secret menu in comparison to other popular coffee chains, like Starbucks. But it’s about time, as there are many ways to order favorite brews and iced coffees with slight tweaks to create fun twists with mega flavor boosts. There are tons of options to discover and explore; however, these are a few of the most coveted and noteworthy secret menu items, according to customers and online reviews.

Give these interesting, delicious takes on Dunkin’s classic recipes a shot the next time you are in the mood to be adventurous and try something totally different and brand new. And, trust us—if you’ve yet to try ‘em out, you’re in for a real treat.

Hot Toasted French Vanilla Coffee

While Dunkin' had mentioned this drink off the secret menu as an iced option in a blog post from 2018, it’s possible to order it hot, if you like, especially now that temperatures have dropped in some parts of the country and the holiday season is upon us. In the blog post, representatives suggested we, “Add the French vanilla and toasted almond flavor shots to an iced coffee with almond milk for a dairy-free toasted French vanilla treat." However, you can make it a hot and toasty brew by swapping in regular coffee and using the same instructions when ordering.

Raspberry Hot Chocolate

Hot chocolate is an easy choice for cold weather, so if you enjoy sweet coffee drinks and are looking to try a new take on a classic, order a raspberry hot chocolate. "For a sweet take on our classic hot chocolate, try adding in a raspberry flavor shot," Dunkin' representatives suggested in a blog post in honor of National Hot Chocolate Day back in January 2018.

Coco Berry Coffee

You can still get a berrylicious cup of coffee at Dunkin’ off the secret menu by hacking your order and asking for a shot of blueberry syrup. Choose any coffee—plain iced, latte, or hot dark roast. Adding to a mocha seems to be the most popular. The idea, suggested by Dunkin’ reps, is to add a blueberry shot to mocha coffee to create a mocha berry brew. Berry adds brightness to jazz up your java. Or, DIY a berry brew at home with a blender with this blueberry-flavored coffee with vanilla.

Hazelnut Mocha Coffee

Whether you order Original Blend coffee, dark roast, or decaf, add sweetness and a touch of nutty flavor by ordering it with a shot or two of hazelnut syrup. Although the hazelnut swirl is no longer offered, Dunkin’ still has an unsweetened syrup, which you can request in stores. For a mocha hazelnut brew, ask for a shot of mocha swirl and hazelnut syrup. Or, order any caramel coffee with a shot of hazelnut for a toasted nut sweetness. Try this drink hot or iced, depending on your mood.

Snickers Coffee

If you can’t resist a chocolate candy bar, you must order a Snickers coffee, a secret menu item at Dunkin’ that’ll simultaneously satisfy your sweet tooth and provide a caffeinated pick-me-up. To order, ask for a coffee with cream and add syrups, including two pumps of caramel and a pump each of hazelnut and mocha (an ideal ratio for a medium-sized cup). This works iced, too. If you don’t have time to grab Dunkin’ you can make this iced caramel macchiato dupe at home.

Nutella Coffee

To order this Nutella-inspired treat, ask for a coffee, either iced or hot, in any size you like with an added pump or flavor shot of hazelnut syrup (unsweetened, plain hazelnut since hazelnut swirl is no longer available), as well as two pumps of mocha syrup—especially if ordering a medium coffee, explains a Dunkin’ ex-barista over TikTok.

Cotton Candy and Cream Coolattas

You can order a Vanilla Bean Coolatta with various flavors of berry shots including raspberry, strawberry, and blueberry, according to Redditors. One user wrote, “Vanilla bean coolatta w a TINNYYY bit of blue raspberry. It tastes like a cotton candy dumdum.” Another customer agrees and combines Vanilla Bean Coolatta, a pump of blue raspberry syrup, whipped cream and blue raspberry drizzled on top, for a “Cotton Candy and Cream Coolata.”

Similarly, if you love peaches, this Dunkin’ hack is bound to be a new favorite order. Add three pumps of peach syrup to the Vanilla Bean Coolatta. You can add or remove pumps based on sugar preference, or include another fruit for an extra burst of berry flavor. Lastly, don’t forget the whipped cream.

Birthday Cake Coolatta

There are a few ways to order this celebratory, confetti-topped iced beverage at Dunkin’ (with whipped cream, too, of course). You’ll ask for a base of the vanilla flavor variation of the Coolatta, and then add a shot (or more based on sweetness preference) of hazelnut. You can also add other ingredients to take it a step further, such as berry flavors, creams and whips, and more—consider it your birthday, let loose and indulge.

Piña Colada Coolata

It doesn’t matter if you’re on the beach in Aruba or not. The Piña Colada Coolata on the secret menu at Dunkin’ gives just that vibe in a cup. To order it, ask for a pineapple Coolatta (if they have it) with a flavor swirl of coconut crème pie, or look at videos and reviews online to understand the ingredients inside this refreshing, tropical treat. A TikTok video suggests ordering Vanilla Bean Coolata as a base, with coconut milk, two shots of coconut syrup, four pumps of vanilla bean syrup, and the mango pineapple refresher, all blended together.

Captain Crunch Coolata

This berry-forward beverage off Dunkin’s secret menu is incredibly popular with customers. To order, ask for the Strawberry Coolata as a base, with whipped cream, shots of both blueberry and raspberry-flavored syrups, and additional whipped cream on top. A TikTok user who orders the Captain Crunch Coolata at Dunkin’ this way also suggests getting a medium-sized drink.
