If you’re heading to Dunkin’ Donuts, you might be wondering what you can actually enjoy here as a vegan.
While Dunkin’ doesn’t currently offer vegan donuts (we know—it’s disappointing!), there are still some solid options, especially when it comes to coffee and snacks.
Here’s everything you need to know about Dunkin’s vegan-friendly food and drinks.
Vegan Food Options at Dunkin’ Donuts
Although there are no vegan donuts yet, there are a few food options available. Some require small modifications, but you’ll still find a satisfying bite to enjoy alongside your coffee.
Vegan-Friendly Foods at Dunkin’
- Avocado Toast
- Avocado and Roasted Tomato Toast
- Bacon Avocado Tomato Sandwich (order without bacon)
- Bagels (Plain, Cinnamon Raisin, Everything, Sesame)
- English Muffin
- Hash Browns
The Avocado Toast is a fully vegan option with no changes needed. It’s served on sourdough bread with an avocado spread and Everything Bagel seasoning.
The Bacon Avocado Tomato Sandwich can be made vegan by ordering it without the bacon. This makes for a more filling option if you want something more substantial than toast.
Dunkin’s bagels are vegan, including Plain, Cinnamon Raisin, Everything, and Sesame. Just be sure to skip any cream cheese or butter when ordering.
The English Muffin and Hash Browns are also safe choices. However, Dunkin’ does not have a separate area for preparing vegan items, so there is a possibility of cross-contamination.
Vegan Drink Options at Dunkin’ Donuts
Dunkin’ Donuts offers a good variety of vegan-friendly drinks. While you may need to make substitutions, plant-based milk options are available for an additional charge.
Plant-Based Milk Choices
- Oat Milk
- Almond Milk
- Coconut Milk
Unflavored Vegan Coffee Options
- Americano
- Cappuccino (with plant-based milk)
- Coffee (Original, Dark Roast, Decaf)
- Cold Brew
- Espresso
- Macchiato (with plant-based milk)
- Turbo Shot
You can enjoy most basic coffee drinks as long as you replace dairy milk with oat, almond, or coconut milk when needed. Cold Brew is vegan as long as you order it plain, but you can add plant-based milk and certain syrups for extra flavor.
Flavored Vegan Coffee Options
- Mocha Swirl Latte (with plant-based milk)
- Mocha Raspberry Latte (with plant-based milk)
- Mocha Swirl Hot Cappuccino (with plant-based milk)
- Vanilla Cold Brew
- Mocha Blueberry Cold Brew (order without cold foam)
- Coconut Almond Cold Brew
- Frozen Coffee (order without whipped cream)
- Mocha Swirl Frozen Coffee (order without whipped cream)
Most flavored coffee drinks can be made vegan by swapping out dairy milk and skipping whipped cream where necessary. Be cautious when ordering, as some syrups contain dairy.
Vegan Tea Options at Dunkin’ Donuts
Tea is another great option, and several varieties are naturally vegan.
Vegan-Friendly Teas
- Bold Breakfast Black Tea
- Decaf Breakfast Black Tea
- Chamomile Fields Herbal Infusion
- Cool Mint Herbal Infusion
- Harmony Leaf Green Tea
- Hibiscus Kiss Herbal Infusion
- Iced Green Tea
- Iced Tea
- Chai Latte (with plant-based milk)
- Matcha Latte (with plant-based milk)
All herbal and black teas are vegan as-is. For Chai and Matcha Lattes, simply request a plant-based milk substitute.
Dunkin’ Refreshers and Fruit Drinks
Dunkin’ offers a variety of fruit-based drinks, most of which are naturally vegan. The only exception is the Vanilla Bean Coolatta, which contains dairy.
Vegan Refreshers and Coolattas
- Blue Raspberry Coolatta
- Strawberry Coolatta
- Mango Pineapple Refresher
- Strawberry Dragonfruit Refresher
- Mango Pineapple Coconut Refresher
- Strawberry Dragonfruit Coconut Refresher
- Mango Pineapple Lemonade Refresher
- Strawberry Dragonfruit Lemonade Refresher
One note: The Peach Passion Fruit Refresher has been discontinued as of 2023, though it may return in the future.
Vegan Flavor Shots at Dunkin’ Donuts
When ordering a flavor shot at Dunkin’, be sure to specify that you want a Flavor Shot, not a Flavor Swirl, as most Swirls contain dairy.
Vegan Flavor Shots
- Blueberry
- Caramel
- Chai Tea
- Coffee Swirl
- Hazelnut
- Liquid Cane Sugar
- Raspberry
- Toasted Almond
- Vanilla
The Mocha Swirl and Coffee Swirl are vegan, but other Swirl flavors, including French Vanilla, Caramel, and Pumpkin, contain dairy. The Hazelnut flavor is not a syrup but a natural flavor derived from fruit juice, making it vegan-friendly.
Will Dunkin’ Donuts Offer Vegan Donuts in the Future?
Dunkin’s CEO, David Hoffmann, has mentioned interest in exploring vegan donut options due to high demand. While no official plans have been announced, it’s possible we’ll see a plant-based donut in the future.
Final Thoughts
While Dunkin’ Donuts does not yet offer vegan donuts, there are still plenty of plant-based options to enjoy. From avocado toast to coffee with plant-based milk, vegans can find a satisfying snack or drink.
As always, keep in mind that cross-contamination is possible since vegan and non-vegan items are prepared in the same kitchen. If that’s a concern, be sure to ask questions before ordering.
