What Kind of Flavors Can You Get In Dunkin’ Donuts?
Dunkin’ offers a wide variety of flavor options across each arm of its food and drink menu. It even has a secret menu, offering a wider choice for those willing to break the mold and play with seemingly endless customizations. Having said that, given the already-extensive list of Dunkin’ Donuts flavors, you probably won’t need to.
Patrons with a more adventurous sweet tooth will relish the chance to try more daring Dunkin’ Donuts flavors like the Spider Donut at Halloween or those filled with Bavarian cream. For the purists out there, there are plenty of simpler options available, too. Think pared-back glazed donuts, powdered donuts and donuts with pink frosting that would surely earn an “mmm” from Homer Simpson.
There are also different types of donuts at Dunkin’. These include both cake and yeast donuts, with the former being denser and crisper compared to their airy yeast counterparts. You’ll find filled donuts, frosted ring donuts and even the chain’s popular “Munchkins,” which provide a delicious, poppable treat that’s perfect for sharing.
Add to this an array of seasonal Dunkin’ Donuts flavors that come and go throughout the year, and it can be hard to pick just one winner for the crown of best Dunkin’ Donut.
The 21 Best Dunkin’ Donuts Flavors
1. Glazed Donut
This one’s a classic. The donut itself delivers a delightful, fluffy texture, while the glaze helps to curb those sweet-tooth cravings that so often lead patrons to Dunkin’. What we really love about this particular Dunkin’ Donuts flavor is its simplicity. You truly get a taste for the dough, which itself is far from greasy.
You can also level up this particular flavor by ordering the maple bacon donut from the Dunkin’ Donuts secret menu. Simply get yourself a glazed donut, slice it in half and fill it with a side of Maple Snackin’ Bacon. That’s breakfast sorted!
2. Chocolate Frosted Cake Donut
This is one of the top Dunkin’ Donuts donut flavors for chocoholics. Reviews suggest that the chocolate frosting tastes authentic, which goes a long way towards securing its place on this list.
What’s more, the sprinkles add a level of fun that’s sure to make it stand out in the display case. It’s worth noting that Dunkin’s cake donuts are slightly less sweet than its yeast donuts. In this case, the chocolate and sprinkles more than make up for it.
3. Strawberry Frosted Donut With Sprinkles
If your affinity with Homer Simpson boils down to your taste in donuts, this Dunkin’ Donuts flavor is for you. In terms of what to expect, it’s pretty much what it says on the tin. Think pink strawberry frosting, a decadent dash of sprinkles and a perfectly fried doughy base.
This classic Dunkin’ Donuts variety is definitely suited to those with a sweet tooth, with some reviews suggesting that the strawberry flavor is somewhat artificial. Having said that, if you’re a fan of strawberry milk, you’ll likely enjoy one of these.
4. Maple Frosted Donut
Do you like your donuts sweet? Like, really sweet? If so, we have the Dunkin’ Donuts flavor for you. It takes the chain’s signature donut base and layers it with maple frosting, which adds unbridled new levels of sweetness with just a hint of toffee. Just one of these is sure to curb your cravings, but it might pay to order two. You know, just to be sure.
5. Chocolate Frosted Donut
Similar to the chocolate frosted cake Dunkin’ Donuts flavor, this version is made using the chain’s yeast donut recipe. It uses the same chocolate frosting, which only adds to the incredible sweetness of the dough that forms the base. You can also get this donut with sprinkles, perfect if you really enjoy the sweet stuff.
6. Chocolate Kreme-Filled Donut
Filled donuts are some of the most popular types at Dunkin’. This particular iteration takes a traditional donut, coated with powdered sugar, and fills the core with a decadent chocolate cream. The result is absolutely delicious, although some reviews suggest that the chocolate flavor is a little artificial, similar to canned chocolate frosting.
7. Cookie Butter Donut
This donut from the Dunkin’ Holiday menu combines a traditional Dunkin’ Donut with an indulgent brown-sugar cookie buttercream filling. Add to this a glaze of sweet-maple icing and a dash of cookie butter crumbles on top, and it has to be one of the sweetest Dunkin’ Donuts flavors on this list.
8. Bavarian Kreme Filled Donut
In essence, this Dunkin’ Donuts flavor sees a sugar-dusted donut filled with vanilla custard. The filling is made to resemble its namesake dessert, Bavarian cream, which is traditionally made with vanilla custard and whipped cream.
Some reviews praise its flavor, while others rank it as average compared to others on the menu. All we’ll say is that if you’re a fan of the timeless pairing of donuts and custard, you should at least give this Dunkin’ Donuts flavor a try.
9. Vanilla-Frosted Donut
While “vanilla” is frequently used to describe life’s blandest experiences, we would argue that this Dunkin’ Donuts flavor is an exception to the rule. At least, it is if you have a sweet tooth.
If it takes a little less to curb your sugar cravings, there’s a chance that you’ll find the vanilla icing somewhat overwhelming. However, if you love sweet treats, this is a top pick, and you can even get it with sprinkles for more sugary goodness.
10. Boston Kreme Pie Donut
As an homage to one of Boston’s most treasured culinary icons, we had to include this in our guide to the best Dunkin’ Donuts flavors. But does it live up to its namesake?
Well, like others on this list, it is remarkably sweet, which will suit some more than others. Having said that, reviews suggest that it ranks first among other filled donuts on the menu.
11. Chocolate Frosted Donut With Sprinkles
If you’re a fan of the chocolate frosted Dunkin’ Donuts flavor but feel it could do with something extra to amp up the fun, this one’s for you. Sprinkles are cast with joyous abandon atop this particular donut, taking an already decadent treat to tasty new levels.
The only thing we’d suggest is that you order a few of these. Especially if you’re planning to share them with your family, just one or two are unlikely to last the drive home!
12. Double Chocolate Donut
Chocoholics, it’s time to double down! This Dunkin’ Donuts flavor is exactly what it says on the menu — a chocolate-flavored donut base with an indulgent chocolate frosting. There’s not much more to say, really, only that if you’re not a fan of chocolate, this one’s probably not for you.
13. Old-Fashioned Donut
Some reviews suggest that this particular Dunkin’ Donuts flavor is a little dry, but don’t worry: it’s still absolutely delicious. Put simply, this is a cake-style donut with sugar coating.
In terms of who it’s for, well, if you can remember taking trips to the local bakery as a kid, this one’s sure to evoke some nostalgia when you see it in the display case. Just be sure to order a drink to go with it.
14. Powdered Sugar Donut
Not all of the best Dunkin’ Donuts flavors need fancy fillings and decorations in order to earn a place on this list. This particular donut is about as simple as it gets. Just be aware that these decadent delights come with sticky fingers. Your face may also need a wipe when you’ve finished!
15. Spider Donut
Arachnophobes, you might not be overly keen to try this one, but try you should. If you can look past the all-seeing white-frosting eyes, you won’t be disappointed by the flavor. This seasonal pick from the Dunkin’ Donuts Halloween menu has become something of a social media star, delighting Dunkinites around the nation after the brand released a now-iconic picture of its spidey-donut delight.
Donning a distinctly “Halloween” palette, it comprises a traditional Dunkin’ donut glazed with orange icing. It’s then topped with the unmistakable likeness of a spider, featuring a body made with a glazed chocolate Munchkin, plus chocolate drizzle for legs.
16. Sour Cream Donut
Here’s a Dunkin’ Donuts flavor that’s sure to raise some eyebrows. It does so for two reasons. First, you might associate sour cream more with a topping for fajitas than with your favorite doughy dessert.
Secondly, your misgivings will almost certainly prove unfounded! The sour cream glaze is reminiscent of pound cake, and since the donut beneath uses Dunkin’s dense, cake-based recipe, one is usually enough.
17. Pumpkin Cake
If you’re among the many foodies who see the fall as an opportunity to eat and drink your fill of pumpkin desserts, this might just be the seasonal Dunkin’ Donuts flavor for you. Reviews praise its reminiscence of autumnal bread, all encased in a sumptuous sticky donut glaze. Just be mindful that it’s quite heavy, so one (okay, maybe two) should be enough.
18. Glazed Blueberry
Perhaps best described as a donut-shaped blueberry muffin top with Dunkin’s signature glaze, this Dunkin’ Donuts flavor is sure to win the hearts of sweet-toothed patrons. And when we say sweet, we really mean it. Some reviews describe the flavor as sugar dipped in sugar, before being baked into sugar. Mind you, we don’t think that’s a bad thing.
19. Heart-Shaped Donuts
Okay, so this isn’t necessarily a specific Dunkin’ Donuts flavor, but the much-loved limited edition Valentine’s treat is still worth a mention. While availability varies each year, you can generally get any filled donut, from Boston Kreme Pie to classic jelly, in the shape of a heart.
These donuts may also come with pink or red frosting and festive Valentine’s Day sprinkles and there is often a festive flavor or two, such as brownie batter, thrown into the mix.
If you don’t feel like a filled donut but want to get into the Valentine’s spirit, you can get any frosted ring donut with the same red, white and pink sprinkles.
20. Glazed Coffee Roll
This pick is the perfect pairing for your morning joe. In essence, it’s a sweet, cinnamon-flavored donut with a hit of coffee.
It’s one of the most popular items on the Dunkin’ Donuts breakfast menu, bridging the gap between what we love about Dunkin’s signature donuts and the perennial popularity of cinnamon in the morning.
21. Munchkin's Donut Holes
This next one is less a Dunkin’ Donuts flavor than it is a style of donut. In their simplest form, Munchkins offer poppable, bite-sized sweet treats that are perfect for sharing with friends.
You might have seen a chocolate Munchkin used as the body of Dunkin’s iconic Halloween donut spider, but don’t worry. They’re much less frightening without chocolate legs.
What’s more, they come in a variety of finger-licking flavors, including cinnamon, glazed blueberry, glazed chocolate, jelly, old-fashioned, glazed and powdered.
Dunkin’ is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to satisfying your sweet tooth. The list of Dunkin’ Donuts flavors is long and growing all the time, with perennial favorites and seasonal sensations providing a level of choice that’s unmatched for those who take delight in decadent dough.
In other words, whether you live on the sweeter side of life or prefer your treats simple and unadorned, there is a Dunkin’ Donuts flavor for absolutely everybody. The only question left to answer is which will you try first?
