Dunkin'
Discontinued: 2022
Dunkin' mixed hot chocolate with coffee and called it the Dunkaccino in 2000. You could order it hot or frozen (frozen arrived in 2015). Al Pacino rapped about it in the 2011 film "Jack and Jill," which made it a meme and introduced new customers to the drink. Dunkin' pulled the coffee item in 2022 when the pre-mixed powder supply ended. But some locations sold their remaining stock through 2023.
Discontinued: Summer 2017
The Coffee Coolatta started in 1994 as Dunkin's first frozen coffee drink. A large cup had 990 calories and 138 grams of sugar. Think of it more as a milkshake than coffee. You might remember an ad with a character played by Mark Wahlberg ordering the drink. Later on, the coffee chain replaced the Coolatta with Frozen Dunkin' Coffee.
Discontinued: 2017
Imagine Dunkin' shaped croissant dough into a donut, fried, and glazed. This was their answer to the Cronut craze. Dominique Ansel had created the original Cronut in NYC in 2013 and trademarked it. Dunkin' sold 8.5 million Croissant Donuts in three months. But cronut mania died fast. By 2017, nobody cared anymore, and Dunkin' discontinued it.
Discontinued: 2018
Donut Fries were donut dough cut into strips, fried, and tossed in cinnamon sugar. Dunkin' served five pieces for $2 in containers like french fry boxes. The 2018 test launch in Massachusetts went viral, but reviews were mixed when people actually tried them. They were always meant as a limited summer release. Dunkin' never brought them back.
Discontinued: 2017
The Oreo Coolatta appeared in 2015. The drink was formulated with a frozen vanilla base blended with Oreo cookie pieces. Dunkin' also made Oreo Hot Chocolate and Oreo iced coffee around the same time. When they streamlined the menu in 2017 to focus on coffee, the Oreo Coolatta got cut.
Discontinued: 2018
Bagel Twists launched in 2010. These twists were made with bagel dough twisted into stick shapes for eating on the go.Dunkin' made six flavors: Cheddar Cheese, Cinnamon Raisin, Sour Cream and Onion, Pretzel Salt, Blueberry, and French Toast. White Cheddar was the most popular and got a brief return in 2016. By 2018, all Bagel Twists were gone. Some franchise owners ignored Dunkin' headquarters and kept selling them anyway. But good luck finding them.
Discontinued: 2013
The Big N' Toasted hit menus in 2011 with two peppered fried eggs, four slices of cherrywood smoked bacon, and American cheese between two thick slices of Texas toast. An Angus steak version appeared shortly after. Both disappeared within two years. No explanation was given.
Discontinued: June 2021
Dunkin' added this plant-based sausage sandwich in 2019 after customers petitioned for a meatless breakfast option. The Beyond Meat patty came on an English muffin with egg and American cheese. Sales didn't meet expectations. Less than two years later, it was canned.
Discontinued: 2023
The Peanut Butter Cup Macchiato mixed espresso with peanut butter and chocolate flavors—basically a Reese's as a coffee drink. It debuted in fall 2021 as a Halloween seasonal item, then came back in 2022, and then vanished in 2023.
Discontinued: After 2021
This fall 2021 drink mixed apple and cranberry juices with B vitamins and green tea. Adding coconut milk turned it from deep red to lilac purple. Some called it the best flavor by far among discontinued Refreshers. The fruit flavors tasted real, not artificial. People expected it back the next year. Instead, Dunkin' replaced it with different flavors.
Discontinued: 2022
Dunkin' added coconut milk in 2021, mostly for fruity refreshers like Peach Passion Fruit. In 2022, they removed coconut milk from the entire menu. For non-dairy drinkers who wanted something besides oat or almond milk, this was a problem. The coconut refreshers split customers—some loved them, others said they tasted terrible.
Discontinued: 2017
Half iced tea, half lemonade, blended with ice. Dunkin' launched this frozen version of Arnold Palmer's signature drink in April 2014 as warm weather hit. When they cut most Coolattas in 2017, this went with them. There's a Change.org petition to bring it back.
Discontinued: After 2020
Dunkin' made flavor swirls inspired by Girl Scout cookies in 2018: Thin Mint, Coconut Caramel (Samoa), and Trefoils Shortbread. You could add them to iced coffee, lattes, and Coolattas. The flavors appeared in spring to match Girl Scout cookie season. They returned in 2020, then never came back. But fans wait every spring, hoping for their return.
Discontinued: 2022
Bite-sized bagels covered in everything bagel seasoning (garlic, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried onion, sea salt) with cream cheese filling. A savory version of Munchkins. A leaked menu test in 2022 showed these getting cut. Fans were furious. But you can still get the regular-sized everything bagel and cut them into pieces for a similar experience.
Discontinued: After 2019
High-protein, gluten-free breakfast bowls launched in 2019. Two versions: sausage scramble bowl and egg white bowl. Dunkin' listed them as "limited time only" from the start. For a chain with almost no gluten-free options, these were significant. They disappeared as quickly as they arrived. The bowls were never intended as permanent items.
