Dunkin' Donuts is a popular coffee and breakfast on the go establishment. This coffee shop has an extensive drink menu and they also have a wide selection of bagels, donuts, and other breakfast goodies. If you have ever tried a Dunkin' Donuts beverage, you can probably agree that they have some really great drinks but they also have some drinks that have room for improvement. Here is a compiled list of five of the best drinks to get at Dunkin' Donuts and 5 drinks you could go without.
10 Best: Coconut Iced Coffee
Coconut iced coffee from Dunkin’ is a totally underrated flavor. This ice coffee is seriously tasty. There is something about the bitterness of the roasted coffee beans mixed with the lightly tropical coconut that just works so well together. The coconut flavor in this coffee comes from a flavor shot, which is sugar-free, making this iced coffee a lot healthier than some of the other drinks on Dunkins’ menu. If you are a fan of Girl Scout cookies, ask them to add a shot of caramel as well and create a Samoa flavored iced coffee!
9 Best: Iced Tea
If you like your iced tea sweet like they do in the south, you will love Dunkin’ Donuts’ sweet iced tea. You can order it half and half or unsweetened as well, but the sweet tea is the absolute best. When you walk inside to order, or when you pull up to the drive-thru, just tell them exactly how many pumps of sugar you want in your tea. Make your delicious iced tea as sweet or as unsweet as you want it.
8 Best: Hazelnut Iced Coffee
Dunkin’ Donuts hazelnut iced coffee is a must-order drink. If you love Nutella as much as the rest of us, this creamy, smooth iced coffee is the drink for you. It almost tastes like you are drinking coffee with Nutella in it. Now, who wouldn’t love that?
7 Best: Blueberry Iced Coffee
If you haven’t already noticed the trend, Dunkin’ Donuts makes tremendous iced coffee. Their blueberry iced coffee is just the drink to support this statement. This delicious drink tastes exactly like you are eating a blueberry muffin with your morning coffee, except it’s all that flavor in one drink. This drink is a great morning pick-me-up and it has blueberry flavor shots in it so there is no added sugar. If you haven't already had this drink before, we highly recommend giving it a try!
6 Best: Chai Latte
Dunkin’ Donuts makes a delicious chai latte! They serve their chai lattes both hot and frozen and believe it or not they are equally as tasty both ways. If you aren’t sure what a chai latte tastes like, it has ingredients like milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cardamom. It has a nice warm flavor to it, even when it is served frozen. If you are feeling a little low on energy, you can order a dirty chai latte and the employees will know to add a shot of espresso for you.
5 Worst: Frozen Dunkaccino
Although this drink may sound and look appealing, steer clear of it! You might think, “but it has good flavor”, that’s because it has entirely too much sugar in it! This drink also contains more calories than a sausage, egg, and cheese bagel and has nearly double the number of carbs. Think twice before you decide to order a Dunkin’ Donuts Frozen Dunkaccino.
4 Worst: Irish Creme Swirl Frozen Coffee with Cream
Now before you get upset, we aren’t labeling the Irish Crème Swirl frozen coffee as the worst because of its flavor. This drink actually has great flavor, BUT this drink also contains 1110 calories when you order a large. For some people that is the full amount of calories, they can consume in a day. For others, it takes over half the amount of calories they can consume. Either way, that’s way more calories than one person should consume from a drink in one sitting. Do yourself a favor and order a different drink next time you are at Dunkin’ Donuts.
3 Worst: Frozen Coffee-Caramel Swirl with Cream
Again we have another great-tasting frozen coffee that is horrible for your health. This Dunkin’ drink is one of the worst for you because it has a total of 63 grams of sugar. If you find that you absolutely need to drink a frozen caramel swirl coffee with cream, order a small with skim milk. It’s still not the best for you, but it’s better than downing a whole large.
2 Worst: Blue Raspberry Coolatta
This artificially flavored blue raspberry Coolatta has loads of added sugar and also contains pro-inflammatory color dye. Yeah, the drink might look pretty and is Instagram-worthy, but is it worth impeding on your health? This is one of Dunkins' worst drinks not only because it tastes artificial but also because it’s really not good for your health.
1 Worst: Orea Hot Chocolate
The Oreo flavoring that Dunkin uses contains gluten and soy. This Oreo hot chocolate beverage also has a lot of added sugar to it. The flavor of this drink is all right, but it isn’t anything to praise. If you are thirsty for hot chocolate, it would be better to make your own.
