Dunkin’ and Starbucks Drops Their Spring Menu Lineups To Get You Excited

Let Dunkin’ and Starbucks give you a warm, comforting hug this spring through their new, craveable drinks and pastries available on the menu. 🌸

We’re in the first week of March, which means we’re welcoming the spring season with new menu items from Dunkin’ and Starbucks. Whether you’re missing an old favorite, such as the Pistachio Coffee, or you want to try a new flavor like Cherry Chai, you’re in for a treat this spring. If you want to know the best seasonal offerings, read along; we’ve got them all for you.

Dunkin’

America’s largest donut and coffee brand, Dunkin’, is bringing us the surprise we’ve been waiting for. Finally, they’re bringing back the Dunkalatte and Pistachio Coffee once again on their menu. Also, new Ham & Swiss Pretzel Sliders treats will complete your spring experience. But don’t worry; your Brown Sugar Shakin’ Espresso and Raspberry Watermelon Dunkin’ Refresher will remain. Don’t forget the $6 Meal Deal, which is still available at Dunkin’ locations today.

You can finally get them starting today (March 5, 2025). Let’s check out each menu item available in detail. 

Beverages

First up on the spring list is the Dunkalatte, which was first introduced back in the fall of 2024. It became an instant sellout nationwide because of its ultra-smooth coffee milk, which features whole milk blended with Dunkin’s own coffee extract. You can get them either iced or hot and expect a latte-like sip that tastes just like your favorite melty milkshake.

Also, Dunkin’ will be bringing back a beverage that hasn’t been seen on the menu since 2018. Say hello once again to the fan-favorite Pistachio Coffee. It features a nutty, subtly sweet Pistachio Flavor Swirl that’s combined with Dunkin’s Original Blend Coffee (hot or iced). Did you know that there was a petition to bring this back on the menu? Yup, Dunkin’ just fulfilled many of their fans’ wishes!

From The Club

Whew! There are quite a lot of spring menu items for just two brands, but there are menu items that caught my attention. First, Dunkin’s new Pistachio Coffee and Chicken & Bacon Croissant Stuffers sound like a great breakfast meal. As for Starbucks, I’m curious about the Iced Lavender Cream Oatmilk Matcha as I’ve never had any drinks with floral notes in them. But what I’m excited about is the Jalapeño Chicken Pocket! It looks like my week will be full of tasty treats and creamy drinks to try.
