Dunkin’s Spring Menu Includes a Churro Latte and a Churro Donut — and We Tried Them

Dunkin’ is jumping right into spring.

On Wednesday, the coffee shop chain announced seasonal spring offerings, including a signature churro latte, cinnamon vanilla coffee and a churro donut.

Available iced or hot, the new latte is a blend of espresso with churro flavors. It is complete with a dollop of whipped cream, a little caramel and some cinnamon sugar.

Coffee with cinnamon and vanilla is a milder version of latte. Made with Dunkin’s coffee and cream, it’s mixed with a shot of vanilla and churro syrup.

PEOPLE tried both new innovations that delivered on their bittersweet promise. Churro signature latte is the perfect creamy, light color. It tastes like a luscious cinnamon dessert in a cup. As for coffee with cinnamon and vanilla, its bright taste complemented by spicy notes makes it the perfect transition from winter to spring. It is slightly less punchy than an extra sweet latte.

Along with the new coffees, Dunkin’ is introducing an appropriately sweet treat: the churro donut. The dessert is foamed in cinnamon sugar and is crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.

The donut chain is also introducing its first breakfast empanada. The morning treat is made of scrambled eggs, sausage and cheddar cheese wrapped in a buttery flaky crust. To round out the spring food offerings, Dunkin’ has released a new chocolate banana bread.

For those who prefer an extra bite of the day, the brand has introduced a new caffeinated blend: SPARKD’ Energy by Dunkin’. The iced energy drinks, which are made with vitamins, minerals and “caffeine”, come in two flavors: berry and peach sun. The first gives notes of raspberry and strawberry, while the second contains flavors of lychee and peach.

Earlier this month, Dunkin’ made headlines with the brand’s hilarious Super Bowl ad, which featured Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Tom Brady forming a boy band called the DunKings.

In honor of the goofy spot, the coffee shop chain rolled out a DunKings menu across the country, including Affleck’s own drink.

Affleck’s drink is made from Affleck’s “go to order”: iced coffee with cream and hints of vanilla, topped with sweet cold foam and a dusting of cinnamon sugar.

The DunKings menu also features Munchkins Skewers, which Damon held in the commercial. They’re three different Munchkins on a stick, which can be added to any drink (like olives in a martini) — or can be ordered on their own.

Other menu items include the Everything Encore Breakfast Sandwich, a bagel with sweet black pepper, spicy bacon, white cheddar cheese and egg; Hazelnut Heartthrob Iced Coffee, hot or iced coffee mixed with sweet caramel, notes of hazelnuts and whole milk; and Mixed Berry Beats Dunkin’ Refresher, a strawberry Dragonfruit Dunkin’ Refresher with an extra dose of raspberry flavor.
