I Tried Dunkin’s Spring 2026 Menu and Can Confirm It’s Truly Bananas

But that’s not all

While Starbucks is betting hard that coconut and lavender will be the “it” flavors of spring 2026, Dunkin’ is moving in a different direction. One that’s literally bananas—in the best way.

Right in line with the banana matcha trend that took over TikTok this past year, Dunkin’ is introducing banana cold foam and banana syrup, which can be added to just about any iced drink, from espresso-based pick-me-ups to the Refreshers line. The options can be head-spinning, so the brand has come up with a handful of specific banana-infused options, like the Monkey Business Cloud Latte, Banana Crème Iced Coffee and Bananarama Matcha.

But banana isn’t the only new addition to the menu. As of March 4, you can also try one of six Dunkin’ Zero drinks: fruity, sparkling soda blends that are designed to provide an energy boost without sugar or coffee. Blackberry Tangerine, Tropical Mango and Juicy Peach are the three core flavors, though they’re also serving three blends, which sound like they could double as lip glosses (pure speculation, but it seems fitting for another Tarte collab)—Glamberry (Blackberry Tangerine + Juicy Peach), Sunzest (Tropical Mango + Juicy Peach) and Blushpop (Blackberry Tangerine + Tropical Mango). And on that note, if you’re a Rewards member, you can score a medium Dunkin’ Zero drink for $3 after 1 p.m., from March 4 through 18.

As if that weren’t enough, the brand is also introducing a new twist on Munchkins—a wedding cake variety, created in honor of National Proposal Day (March 20, in case you’re curious).

With so many options to choose from, what do you order? I sampled them all to bring you these honest, unfiltered reviews. Let me know in the comments what you’re trying first—and what you think once you’ve had them.

Banana Shakin' Espresso

This drink stole the show for me. If you like bold coffee flavor, this is the drink to try. It features a double shot of espresso, banana syrup and oat milk, all shaken to create a creamy, robust drink with a hint of sweetness. It tastes kind of like you just had a bite of Magnolia Bakery’s iconic banana pudding and are washing it down with an iced latte; the banana is there, but the coffee shines through.

2. Iced Banana Puddin' Cloud Latte

Topped with banana cold foam, this cloud latte is indulgent without overwhelming your palate. It pairs espresso with banana and vanilla custard flavors, giving it a much stronger pudding-and-Nilla-wafer flavor than the other drinks in this lineup. The cold foam really caps things off, making it taste like a satisfyingly hearty treat all in one cup.

3. Iced Monkey Business Cloud Latte

Salty-sweet fans, order this drink first. Monkey Business features a butter pecan iced latte base with banana cold foam on top, and the two meld together beautifully, creating a buttery, almost banana-dulce-de-leche-esque blend that lingers on your palate.

4. Iced Bananarama Matcha

Admittedly, matcha is too grassy for my tastes, but I like Dunkin’s sweeter, milder take. And my husband, who’s very pro matcha, deemed this one of his favorite riffs: “Matcha can often feel one-dimensional, but the addition of banana here adds a subtle sweetness and fruity flavor that makes it more of a full-bodied drink.” It also gets added depth from the addition of vanilla custard flavoring, resulting in a creamier drink overall.

5. Banana Creme Iced Coffee

If your go-to drink is more “cream and sugar with a splash of coffee,” I’ve found your perfect match. This iced coffee tastes like a liquid banana cream pie, thanks to its equal parts banana syrup and shots of vanilla, which are mellowed with a glug of cream. You don’t taste the coffee in this one, but I also don’t miss it.

6. Banana Iced Protein Latte

Perhaps the Banana Crème Iced Coffee is a bit too decadent for your tastes. Here’s a more virtuous option, which you can easily rationalize thanks to the use of protein milk instead of cream, which adds an additional 15 grams to the standard medium banana iced latte. You’ll still get the banana and vanilla custard flavors, and it’s still cream pie-like, only a little less rich.

7. Iced Berry Acai Banana Daydream Refresher

Try saying this drink’s name five times fast. The new Berry Acai Refresher can be made with tea, lemonade or sparkling water. But in this Daydream iteration, it’s mixed with oatmilk and gets a dose of banana syrup, with banana cold foam on top. It’s oddly mesmerizing to see the cold foam slowly sink into the purple drink, creating a richer, smoother flavor that’s reminiscent of an acai bowl—only less icy and more portable.

1. Blackberry Tangerine Dunkin' Zero

I focused on the three core Dunkin’ Zero flavors for this taste test, just to see how they were on their own. Each one is fruity and refreshing, though blackberry tangerine stands out for having the most complex flavor—it’s the least sweet of the bunch, with a berry flavor that gives way to a light citrusy finish.

2. Tropical Mango Dunkin' Zero

By far the sweetest-tasting of the bunch, this drink will make you dream of your next vacation (at least it did for me). The mango flavor packs a powerful punch, and it’s great when you’re craving a treat but don’t want to down, say, a slice of cake. (All three drinks clock in at 20 calories and zero grams of sugar in a medium serving.)

3. Juicy Peach Dunkin' Zero

Delightfully sweet with a fizzy finish, Juicy Peach lives up to its name. The scent alone reminds me of freshly picked produce, wildly ripe and bursting with flavor. The carbonation stood out the most in this blend, which was made with sparkling water, and reminded me of a bellini mocktail.

1. Wedding Cake Munchkins

What makes these ‘wedding cake,’ you ask? Why, the festive coating of sprinkles, of course. They add a solid crunch that gives way to a blueberry Munchkin cake donut base. It’s light, fruity and feels just right for spring. I’m not sure if they’ll inspire you to get down on one knee, but they’re absolutely worth an order (and reorder), even if you don’t put a ring on it.
