Picture this: It’s early Monday morning, and you woke up early for school. You have just enough time to get ready for school before it’s time to leave. In addition, you have a free first period, so there is no reason to rush on the way. You get in your car with all of your stuff and listen to that song that has been stuck in your head for the longest time, as you make your way to the nearest Dunkin for a special treat.
Dunkin dropped their fall menu early this year, towards the last few weeks of August, and it has been popular since. They’ve added new drinks and breakfast sandwiches that satisfy anyone’s fall flavor palate. The menu is creative, flavorful, and fun.
To begin, some of the creative aspects of the menu are their drinks. There are so many, including their Tiramisu Shakin Espresso, Pumpkin Patch Cloud Latte, and Pumpkin Pie Coffee Chiller, to name a few. As one can see, pumpkin is a very popular fall flavor that makes its appearance every year, and in this case it is one of the main details in the names of these drinks. A Pumpkin Patch Cloud Latte sounds interesting because that is a creative way to describe what one will expect to taste when they buy this drink. It’s also interesting to think about how a drink will taste like “cloud” or if there will be a tasty surprise in this latte.
In addition, Dunkin’s drinks and food items have new flavors. For example, pumpkin is a really popular fall flavor that Dunkin incorporates into most of their fall menu items, especially their Signature Pumpkin Spice Latte which has come back year after year, and is one of their most popular menu items in the fall. They also came out with a pumpkin donut and muffin that shows an emphasis on the favored fall flavors of pumpkin.
Lastly, the menu is fun. One fun thing that stands out to me is their Spider Donut. Dunkin has had this for a few years now, and it is essentially a donut coated in purple frosting with a chocolate glazed munchkin in the center, which is then decorated with icing to look like a spider with a cute smile. The spider donut is one of Dunkin’s most popular fall menu items. This is also a very fun and creative way to bring joy to the fall and Halloween season, and it is especially appealing to younger kids.
Overall, year after year, Dunkin always brings back fan favorite flavors, drinks, and even special donuts that make the fall season worth waiting for. They do a great job of creating creative drink names and coming up with fun bakery items that people enjoy. Ultimately, fall wouldn’t be the same without Dunkin.
