Dunkin’ launches Spring 2026 banana-forward menu with $6 meal deal return, rewards

Dunkin’ announced a Spring 2026 menu on March 4, 2026 that centers on an all-new banana syrup and a velvety smooth Banana Cold Foam, both of which the chain says can top or flavor espresso drinks, iced coffee, matcha and Refreshers. The rollout expands the menu with a raft of banana-forward items while reintroducing the $6 Meal Deal that includes a Bacon, Egg and Cheese Sandwich, Hash Browns and a medium hot or iced coffee.

Anthony Epter, vice president of menu innovation at Dunkin’, framed the push as a flavor play, saying, "We’re spotlighting banana on the menu because it’s nostalgic, comforting and incredibly versatile," and that banana appears "from espresso and iced coffee to matcha and Refreshers" in ways that feel "indulgent, balanced, and completely at home on the Dunkin’ menu." The company paired that messaging with press language promoting a new zero-sugar energy drink and a "Go Bananas This Spring" theme.

Named menu items across the launch include Banana Puddin’ Cloud Latte; Monkey Business Cloud Latte, made with butter pecan swirl and banana foam; Banana Shakin’ Espresso with oatmilk and banana syrup; Bananarama Matcha Latte; Banana Protein Latte; Chocolate Covered Banana Iced Coffee; Banana Crème Iced Coffee; Nutty Banana Cloud Dunkalatte; plus Refresher and Daydream Refresher variants such as Berry Daydream Refresher, Banana Daydream Refresher, Bananaberry or Banana Protein Daydream Refresher, and a Strawberry Banana Daydream Refresher. Dunkin’ described three new lattes specifically as featuring Banana Syrup and Banana Cold Foam.

Dunkin’ Zero, the chain’s new zero-sugar energy drink, also debuted March 4, 2026 and is available in small, medium or large sizes and in six varieties. Dunkin’ lists a medium Dunkin’ Zero at 145 milligrams of caffeine, 20 calories and zero grams of sugar; the drink is described as lightly carbonated, bright and fruit-forward and contains caffeine from caffeine and guarana. With the FDA advising a daily caffeine limit of about 400 milligrams, consuming more than two medium Dunkin’ Zero drinks would push past that guideline.

Promotions accompany the menu: the $6 Meal Deal returned as part of the launch after its initial introduction last year in a Super Bowl tie to Ben Affleck, and Dunkin’ Rewards members can buy medium Dunkin’ Zero drinks for $3 after 1 p.m. from March 4 through March 18. Dunkin’ also said it will drop limited-edition banana-themed merchandise on its social channels next week.

The chain added a seasonal snack tied to a calendar moment: Wedding Cake Munchkins, described as blueberry-flavored donut holes glazed and coated with festive sprinkles, will arrive in honor of National Proposal Day on March 20, 2026. The menu leak that circulated on social media ahead of the announcement left fans split, with some calling the banana offerings "dessert in a cup" and others skeptical, setting up a brisk moment to see whether banana becomes a Spring staple or a short-lived novelty.
