Dunkin’ is an institution when it comes to grab-and-go coffee and other refreshing drinks. But did you know that they actually have a secret menu that contains some of the wildest drinks you can think of? Well, wildest may be overreacting a bit, but you get the picture.
From forgotten favorites and limited-time items to fruity and unexpected combinations, here are the 15 best Dunkin secret menu items that prove America really runs on Dunkin.
15. Birthday Cake Coolatta
Want a birthday cake but don’t feel like eating a whole cake in one go? Dunkin’ has you covered. This secret menu item will make you feel like you’re drinking a cake in a cup. It combines the sweetness of a Vanilla Bean Coolatta with hazelnut and will have you feeling nostalgic about all the times and all the birthdays you had cake.
How to order this secret menu item: Ask for a Vanilla Bean Coolatta with a hazelnut swirl. Then, have them top it off with some whipped cream and a sprinkle of sugar.
14. Cosmic Cotton Candy Coolatta
Here’s something truly out of this world. The Cosmic Cotton Candy Coolatta was once a regular menu item that had people talking. But since it was a limited-time offer, it was taken down after a solid run. If you missed it back then, don’t worry—you can still order it today. You just have to follow our instructions.
How to order this secret menu item: Ask for a layered Coolatta with half cotton candy Coolatta and half blue raspberry Coolatta. Make sure you ask politely and remember that some Dunkin’ locations may not have these flavors available.
13. Nutella Surprise Iced Coffee
Nutella is everyone’s favorite hazelnut spread. It’s a key ingredient in lots of desserts. So it made sense that Dunkin, in the midst of the Nutella craze, decided to take advantage and made a drink based on the famous spread. But, like most items on this list, it was for a limited-time item. And like most discontinued items, we have a way to bring it back to their secret menu.
How to order this secret menu item: Ask for an Iced Coffee with a mocha and hazelnut swirl. Specifically, ask for two pumps of mocha and one pump of hazelnut. But feel free to experiment based on your preference.
12. Raspberry Hot Chocolate
I never thought chocolate would taste good with zesty citrus flavors, but everything changed when I tried this secret menu item from Dunkin. It combines the comforting taste of a classic Dunkin’ Hot Chocolate with a burst of raspberry flavor. That hint of fruitiness is a welcome addition to the chocolate’s sweetness.
How to order this secret menu item: Order a Hot Chocolate and ask to have raspberry syrup added in.
11. Almond Joy Iced Coffee
A lot of people may not like Almond Joy because of the coconuts, but I bet that those people (and everyone else, for that matter) would love this coffee from Dunkin. It really captures the essence of the classic candy bar by giving the classic Iced Coffee a refreshing makeover. The secret ingredient is milk, which gives it that classic creamy texture similar to coconut filling.
How to order this secret menu item: Order an Iced Coffee with two pumps of mocha swirl and a toasted almond shot.
10. Eggnog Latte
You don’t have to wait until Christmas to enjoy this festive twist on a classic latte. This was originally a seasonal offering but clever customers managed to hack the menu and found a way to get the Eggnog Latte year-round. This secret menu item will bring that holiday cheer even if it’s only April.
How to order this secret menu item: Ask for a Vanilla Chai and three pumps of caramel swirl.
9. Arnold Palmer Cooletta
Like the famous professional golfer it was named from, this drink is an all-time great. The Arnold Palmer Cooletta is a simple yet winning combination of lemonade and iced tea. This icy treat is equal parts lemonade and iced tea Coolettas. It’s perfect for drinking something refreshing on a hot summer day.

Love strawberries and pastries? Dunkin manages to combine both into one delicious drink.

This isn’t the only strawberry-based drink you’ll see on this list.
How to order this secret menu item: Ask for a Vanilla Bean Coolatta with strawberry syrup and whipped cream on top.
7. Monster Coolatta

How to order this secret menu item: Ask for a Coolatta with a can of Monster blended in. Just tell them the flavors you would like to combine. But be prepared for the possibility that some of them may not be available.
6. Monster Energy Shot
Speaking of Monster Energy, you can actually ask to have a shot of Monster Energy from most Dunkin locations. If you’re craving for something that’s kinda tangy and will give you a burst of energy, you just have to ask for a shot of Monster Energy.
How to order this secret menu item: Ask for a shot of Monster Energy. You can have it combined or blended with a drink or you can have it as is.

Dunkin doesn’t usually have a breakfast burrito on their menu. But don’t let that stop you from having this secret menu item. If you’re craving for a breakfast meal heavier than donuts or sandwiches, you can get this DIY burrito from Dunkin.
How to order this secret menu item: Ask for a flatbread with sausage or bacon, egg, and cheese wrapped inside.
4. Snickers Coffee
Snickers is one of the most iconic chocolate bars in the world. So when they collaborated with Dunkin for a limited time item, you know it was going to be an all time great. Despite it being off the menu, you can still get this masterpiece that captures the essence of a Snickers bar with every sip.
How to order this secret menu item: Ask for an Iced Coffee with two pumps of caramel swirl, one pump of mocha swirl, and hazelnut syrup.
3. Strawberry Lemonade
On paper, the Strawberry Lemonade sounds like a simple drink. But that doesn’t take away how good this menu item is.

2. The Beyond D-O-Double G Sandwich
Snoop Dogg had a collaboration with Dunkin back in 2020 to release a plant-based sandwich perfect for vegans and vegetarians. The Beyond D-O-Double G Sandwich takes the popular Beyond Sausage Sandwich and takes it a notch further by using a toasted glazed donut for buns. It’s a pretty unconventional meal that makes it all the more interesting for people who want to try something from Dunkin’s secret menu.
How to order this secret menu item: Order a Beyond Sausage Sandwich but with a toasted glazed donut cut in half for buns. If they can’t do it, you can just order each individually and put it together yourself.
1. Toasted French Vanilla Iced Coffee
And to wrap up this list, we’re gonna go with a familiar coffee that doesn’t wow you with wild ingredients or wacky flavors. Instead, it’s gonna warm you up and refresh you at the same time. It takes the classic Dunkin’ Iced Coffee and adds the smooth and creamy flavors of toasted nut and vanilla.
How to order this secret menu item: Order an Iced Coffee with one pump of toasted almond and two pumps of French Vanilla swirl. You can adjust how many pumps you want based on your preference.
