Dunkin’ Donuts is one of the world’s largest coffee and donut shop chains and has consistently ranked first place as the United States’ favorite coffee destination. The chain offers over fifty varieties of donuts, from sweet-holed Munchkins to the Bavarian Kreme and considering that they all contain milk and eggs, you’d be right in thinking that it’s not exactly a vegan haven. That said, it has a wide selection of vegan coffee custom creations that are mouthwatering. At Vegan Unlocked, with our secret menu, full menu, and editor’s picks, you’ll be able to sip on some of Dunkin’ Donuts’ many sweet treats – so get ready for a sugar rush!

The Vegan Unlocked Research Team analyzed all 151 items on the Dunkin’ Donuts menu. It came away with some tasty customized creations and a variety of flavorful on-menu options – even featuring a vegan favorite!

Dunkin’ Donuts scores 1 out of 5 stars with little to no vegan options. So, while it’s a little lacking in its vegan nibbles and desserts, Dunkin’ Donuts has you covered when it comes to plant-based beverages. With everything from almond to coconut milk and a sensational selection of sweet syrups, Dunkin’ Donuts is bound to quench your thirst.

This score is calculated based on the number of vegan offerings on Dunkin’ Donuts menu “as is” or with an easy substitution, a restaurant vegan customizability score and finally, the number of vegan options vs non-vegan options. Learn more about how Vegan Unlocked Ratings are calculated.

Secret Menu

Living as a vegan in a largely non-vegan world can sometimes feel a bit challenging. And, when hitting restaurant hotspots with friends and family, it can look like there’s not a lot on offer. However, just because a restaurant doesn’t have designated vegan items doesn’t mean there isn’t something delicious for you to dine on! To prove this, we sent in our team of vegan researchers to Dunkin’ Donuts and they came up with some rather impressive inventions. Remember, you’re capable of creating these kinds of yummy custom creations too. Sometimes you just have to sub in some plant milk or hold the whipped cream.

Mocha Blueberry Cold Brew

If you fancy something a little fruity, why not order the Mocha Blueberry Cold Brew with plant milk for a blueberry blast? Order this and hold the cold foam to take your taste buds on a journey of discovery and delight.

Cinnamon Almond Cappuccino

There’s nothing quite like autumn to make you feel all cozy and nostalgic. If you want to bring back memories of family camping trips and warm campfires, order a hot cappuccino with oat milk, brown sugar cinnamon flavored syrup, and some toasted almond flavored syrup, too. It’ll certainly warm your cockles in the colder months.

Editor’s Picks: What Are the Top Vegan Meals at Dunkin’ Donuts?

When it comes to the world of coffee, classics are classics for a reason, and sometimes there’s nothing better than sipping on an OG. The best coffee classic on the menu at Dunkin’ Donuts is the cappuccino with oat milk. Perfect if you need a little jolt for your afternoon or a little Monday pick-me-up, this creamy cup of deliciousness never fails to satisfy. 

Whether you’re a millennial looking for your morning light bite or a student on a tight budget, the best breakfast option at Dunkin’ Donuts is the bagel with avocado spread. Filling and packed with potassium and fiber, this moreish morsel will definitely keep you going until lunchtime. 

Not everyone likes syrup with their coffee. In fact, 35% of coffee drinkers in the US prefer a basic, black coffee. However, this intense coffee experience isn’t for everyone. At Dunkin’ Donuts, the best coffee for people who don’t like coffee is the Mocha Hazelnut Latte with plant milk. Chocolatey and nutty, this one’s for you if you’ve got a sweet tooth.
