Last March, Dunkin’ fans had the time of their life with value offerings and menu items up for grabs. Today (April 1, 2025), they’re about to give out treats, not tricks, for fans who are in need of coffee. Besides, starting off your Monday feeling tired is no joke!

This April Fools’ Day, Dunkin’ is skipping the tricks to give fans what they need, which is a real-time deal. While other brands are pranking customers, you can run to Dunkin’ and get a free beverage. Today, Dunkin’ is giving away a million free Hot or Iced Coffees or Cold Brews of any size. As long as you’re a Dunkin’ Rewards member, you’re eligible to claim yours while supplies last. All guests need to do is enter the promo code ‘ThisIsNotAJoke’ via the Dunkin’ app.

Available Spring Menu Coffee Up For Grabs

Here’s more exciting news for fans! For the chain’s spring menu, they brought back some fan-favorite beverages: Dunkalatte and Pistachio Coffee. The Dunkalatte was first introduced back in 2024, becoming an instant fan-favorite. The drink is making a comeback this season, and fans can’t wait to taste this ultra-smooth beverage, which blends whole milk with Dunkin’s own coffee extract. You can choose to get them hot or cold. 

But if you prefer something nutty, then the Pistachio Coffee is the drink for you. Its last appearance on the Dunkin’ menu was back in 2018, and many have long awaited for it to happen. Now, fans get to enjoy the nutty, subtly sweet Pistachio Flavor Swirl. The swirl is then combined with Dunkin’s Original Blend to create a coffee with a hint of nutty flavor.

From The Club

I could never say no to free coffee, not now that I need it more than ever! Dunkin’s coffee was actually one of the coffee brands that helped me survive my college years, and I’ve got to thank them for that! 🤣 Aside from its price being student-friendly, they have this certain taste that I keep coming back to. Also, I still need to try some of their exciting spring menu releases, like the Ham & Swiss Pretzel Sliders and Sweet Black Pepper Bacon. I think they create a perfect pair (or trio) for a free coffee!
