In an official statement to PEOPLE, Dunkin’ describes the innovative drink as boasting a blend of “bold espresso” combined with the distinctive flavour of frosted cookies. The latte is further enhanced with pink shortbread and colourful confetti cookie crumbles. This new offering promises a taste reminiscent of the beloved classic snack that many are sure to recognise.
The decision to introduce the Frosted Animal Cookie Cloud Latte is rooted in Dunkin’s commitment to staying attuned to current beverage trends. The chain believes that this refreshing drink aligns perfectly with the popular culture surrounding creative and indulgent beverage choices. Early reactions from excited fans have been enthusiastic, with many expressing a desire for the product to roll out to more locations soon.
The introduction of this latte comes shortly after Dunkin’ unveiled its autumn menu, which includes a wide array of seasonal flavours. Highlights from this fall lineup feature familiar favourites for pumpkin enthusiasts, such as the Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte adorned with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
Additionally, customers can indulge in the new Pumpkin Cloud Dunkalatte—a fusion of espresso, coffee milk, pumpkin swirls, Sweet Cold Foam, and cinnamon sugar. The menu is also populated with enticing items like the Pumpkin Pie Coffee Chiller and the Pumpkin Patch Cloud Latte, which includes vanilla flavour and whole milk for a creamy finish.
Beyond pumpkin-flavoured items, this year’s autumn menu presents a selection of tiramisu-inspired beverages. The Tiramisu Cloud Latte and Tiramisu Shakin’ Espresso are now available, offering rich coffee flavours complemented by additional offerings like the Tiramisu Marshmallow Matcha and Tiramisu Protein Latte.
In addition to these innovative drinks, Dunkin’ has introduced lighter options, such as the new Berry Clementine Refresher and Berry Daydream Refresher. The menu also includes hearty breakfast items with the return of Chipotle Hash Brown Wake-Up Wraps, Chipotle Loaded Hash Browns, and Maple Sugar Bacon.
Notably, the autumn menu features a branded meal, the Earle-y Riser Meal, inspired by influencer Alix Earle. This meal consists of a Shakin’ Espresso served with almond milk and sugar-free vanilla, along with a Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Hash Brown Wake-Up Wrap and three Munchkins. Earle has expressed her enthusiasm for the Shakin’ Espresso, noting its perfectly balanced sweetness.
Though the Frosted Animal Cookie Cloud Latte is still in the testing phase, customers keen on trying it will have to wait to see if it becomes available across all outlets. Dunkin’ continues to innovate by expanding its beverage options and catering to the evolving tastes of its customers, blending nostalgia with modern beverage culture.
As the beverage landscape evolves, Dunkin’ remains committed to delivering exciting flavours that resonate with both nostalgic memories and contemporary cravings, solidifying its position as a leader in the fast food coffee market. The anticipation surrounding the Frosted Animal Cookie Cloud Latte and the full autumn menu exemplify the brand’s dedication to staying relevant and appealing to its diverse customer base.
