This PureWow taste test says Dunkin is taking spring 2026 in a very different direction from its competitors. Instead of leaning on floral flavors, the menu goes all in on banana, layering banana syrup and banana cold foam across coffee, matcha and refresher drinks.
Quick takeaway: The reviewer clearly loved the banana theme, especially the espresso-based drinks. The menu also adds Dunkin Zero sparkling drinks and wedding cake Munchkins, making the launch feel bigger than a single flavor drop.
What Is New
According to the article, Dunkin introduced banana cold foam and banana syrup that can be added to a range of iced drinks. Signature spring options include the Monkey Business Cloud Latte, Banana Creme Iced Coffee and Bananarama Matcha.
The piece also says that as of March 4, Dunkin added six Dunkin Zero drinks, which are fruity sparkling soda blends designed to give an energy boost without sugar or coffee. Core flavors include Blackberry Tangerine, Tropical Mango and Juicy Peach, along with blended options called Glamberry, Sunzest and Blushpop.
The menu’s identity is very clear: sweet, playful and heavily built around banana flavored add-ons.
Best Drinks
The standout for the reviewer was the Banana Iced Latte with oat milk, double espresso and banana syrup. She says it tastes like taking a bite of banana pudding and washing it down with an iced latte, with the coffee still shining through.
Other strong performers included the Monkey Business Cloud Latte, which leaned into banana pudding and Nilla wafer notes, and the Butter Pecan Banana Crunch Signature Latte, which the reviewer describes as buttery, salty sweet and almost dulce de leche like. For matcha fans, the Bananarama Matcha got praise for adding fruit and vanilla custard depth to a drink that can otherwise feel one note.
Sweetest Picks
If someone prefers dessert style drinks, the article points to the Banana Creme Iced Coffee and Banana Vanilla Protein Latte. The first is described as a liquid banana cream pie with cream and vanilla, while the second offers a slightly lighter version using protein milk and adding 15 grams of protein to a standard medium latte.
The Berry Berry Banana Daydream Refresher also stands out because it mixes berry acai flavors, oatmilk, banana syrup and banana cold foam. The reviewer says it ends up tasting a bit like an acai bowl in drink form.
Most practical note: Rewards members could get a medium Dunkin Zero drink for $3 after 1 p.m. from March 4 through 18, according to the article. The piece also notes that all three core Dunkin Zero drinks have 20 calories and zero grams of sugar in a medium serving.
The spring rollout is not only about drinks. The wedding cake Munchkins help turn it into a full seasonal menu moment.
Dunkin Zero and Munchkins
Among the core Dunkin Zero flavors, Blackberry Tangerine stood out to the reviewer for being the least sweet and the most complex, with berry flavor followed by a citrusy finish. Tropical Mango was described as the sweetest of the bunch, while Juicy Peach delivered the strongest fizzy bellini mocktail vibe.
The new wedding cake Munchkins are described as blueberry cake donut bites with a crunchy sprinkle coating. The reviewer calls them light, fruity and worth ordering again.
