Ah, summer. A time for beach trips, grilling, and, for fast food lovers, a brand new slew of menu items to try. Multiple chains are getting ready to release their summer food lines, and as a resident Bostonian and unabashed coffee lover, Dunkin’s summer lineup looks like something out of a dream, that is, a dream house.
This summer, Dunkin’ is partnering with Mattel, effectively revamping the Barbie Girl Summer we had a few years ago with the release of Greta Gerwig’s 2023 movie, Barbie, and I couldn’t be more excited.
What’s new on the drink menu?
The lineup features a brand new strawberry cold foam that can be added to any drink, including matcha lattes, refreshers, and iced coffees (chocolate-covered strawberry iced latte, here I come)! This collaboration will also feature a new drink, the pink pineapple refresher, which is able to be mixed with green tea, lemonade, oatmilk, or sparkling water, and, of course, it can be topped with Barbie’s signature pink cold foam.
Barbie isn’t just taking over the Dunkin’ menu, though, she’s also tackling the Big Apple itself. Dunkin’ will be transforming one of their New York locations into Barbie’s Dreamhouse, and while I’m proud to be from Boston, I’d give anything to try a pink pineapple refresher in a recreation of my favorite doll’s mansion.
What’s new on the food menu?
Along with their new beverages, Dunkin’ is also releasing brand new food items and another version of their famous meal deal. This summer’s meal deal will include a medium hot or iced coffee made to order and two wake up wraps for only $6, a total steal for any breakfast baddie like myself.
There will also be two new savory items to choose from and a brand new donut. If you’re a hot breakfast person, you can’t miss trying Dunkin’s Golden Barbeque loaded hash browns and wake up wraps featuring an exclusive Dunkin’ BBQ sauce. And if you prefer things on the sweet side, Dunkin has you covered with the rocket pop donut, which is filled with a cherry, lime, raspberry creme and topped with sprinkles. Breakfast isn’t just the most important meal of the day, it’s also my favorite, and you know I’ll be trying all that Dunkin has to offer this summer and beyond.
Dunkin will also be featuring special days throughout the month of June where customers can earn extra reward points, including three whole days where you can earn 3x the points on any refresher in celebration of National Pink Day!
As a writer and someone who works with kids for 24 hours a week, coffee is more than a want, it’s a need. The key to my success, if you will, and I am rarely seen without some sort of caffeine in my hand. All of these beverages look good, but I’m most excited for the strawberries and creme cloud Dunkalatte paired with bonus points and a donut before work! This leg of Dunkin’s summer release has me more excited than Ken when Barbie lets him in the dreamhouse, and I can’t wait for the reviews to start pouring in.
