In the cozy clutches of winter, when the chill nips at our noses and the snowflakes dance their delicate waltz, we often find solace in the warm embrace of our favorite coffee shops.
Dunkin', a beloved staple for many, has traditionally been a go-to for those seeking comfort in a cup. However, this season, the chain's winter menu has been leaked ahead of its official release, and it's stirring more than just cream and sugar in the coffee community.
An enthusiastic Dunkin' aficionado couldn't contain their excitement and spilled the beans through a social media post featuring the upcoming winter menu.
The leak included a tantalizing array of new offerings set to warm our hearts and bellies, such as the Holiday Cookie Signature Latte, Hazelnut Bark Coffee, and the Cookie Butter Cold Brew. Sweet treats like the Cookie Butter Donut and savory delights like the Hash Brown Brisket Scramble Bowl were also on the list, promising a feast for the senses.
In a nod to nostalgia, Dunkin' is bringing back the crowd-pleasing Free Donut Wednesdays, a gesture that's sure to sprinkle joy on those midweek blues.
The leaked menu, which was set to start on December 31, also featured a snapshot of a form showcasing additional options like the Brown Sugar Shakin' Espresso and the Lava Cake Signature Latte, among others.
The winter menu is a veritable wonderland of flavors, with the Whoopie Pie Specialty Donut and Iced Lemon Loaf Cake promising to satisfy any sweet tooth.
The $5 Meal Deal, which includes a hot or iced coffee paired with any two Wake-Up Wraps, is a budget-friendly option for those looking to indulge without breaking the bank.
Customers are encouraged to act swiftly, as the leaked form cited a February 4 deadline for these winter offerings. But the frosty festivities don't end there.
The second half of Dunkin's winter menu, rumored to launch on January 29, 2025, focuses on donuts, including the Cupid's Choice Specialty Donut and Brownie Batter Specialty Donut, complete with Valentine's Day-themed sprinkles.
While Dunkin' has yet to officially confirm the winter menu, some fans have already expressed their discontent, accusing the chain of mimicking Starbucks' offerings.
The Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, a popular Starbucks beverage, seems to have a doppelganger in Dunkin's Brown Sugar Shakin' Espresso.
The allegations of copying have brewed a controversy among coffee enthusiasts. Social media has been abuzz with comments ranging from excitement over the new items to skepticism over the originality of Dunkin's latest concoctions.
“They are copying Starbucks with that shaken espresso,” one commenter noted, echoing the sentiments of others who see a little too much resemblance between the two brands' menus.
Despite the controversy, many Dunkin' fans are eagerly anticipating the new menu. Declarations of excitement for the “dunkalatte” and the brownie batter donuts have flooded social media, with some already planning their visits to take advantage of the $5 meal deal.
