New Dunkin' Drinks Buyer Guide: Seasonal Flavors, Secret Customizations, and Safety
By Alexander Ross
Q1: Does Dunkin' charge extra for oat milk and almond milk substitutes?
A1: Yes. Most regional franchises add an upcharge ranging between $0.50 and $0.90 for plant-based milk substitutions in standard coffees and lattes. However, basic splashes in brewed drip coffee are occasionally discounted depending on store policy.
Q2: Is Dunkin's new protein milk dairy-free or plant-based?
A2: No. The protein milk upgrade introduced in the 2026 Megan Thee Stallion partnership is formulated from ultra-filtered cow's milk and concentrated dairy whey isolates. It is not suitable for vegans or individuals with lactose intolerance.
Q3: How many calories are in a medium Dunkin' cold brew with sweet cold foam?
A3: A medium plain cold brew contains roughly 5 calories. Adding a standard serving of sweet cold foam brings the total to approximately 80 to 90 calories and adds roughly 9 to 11 grams of sugar. Seasonal or colored Halloween foam variations can reach 110 calories.
Q4: Are Dunkin' flavor shots completely sugar-free?
A4: Yes. Dunkin' flavor shots (vanilla, hazelnut, toasted almond, coconut, blueberry, raspberry) are unsweetened and sugar-free. Flavor swirls, on the other hand, are thick syrups loaded with sugar and condensed dairy.
