In the great coffee debate between Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts, I’m on Dunkin’s side. Since Dunkin’ is my go-to coffee choice, I’ve taken the time to try much of their breakfast menu as well. This popular chain is known for its delicious donuts, but sometimes I want to switch it up and get something a bit more filling. From sweet to savory, classic to brand new, large to small, you need to try these 12 Dunkin’ Donuts breakfast items that aren’t donuts. Hey, maybe you’ll end up finding your new go-to breakfast item.
1. Wake-Up Wrap
This savory breakfast item consists of eggs, cheese, and bacon. If you’re on a health kick, you can also order it as an egg white veggie wrap. You have the freedom to choose which meat you want (think sausage, ham, or bacon). In no time, you’ll have the perfect wrap for your morning.
2. Hash Browns
A tried and true classic, you’ve probably already had these toasted beauties. Whether on their own or paired with another breakfast item, these hash browns are tasty and filling. If you’re bored of the same hash browns everyday, these little guys are pretty versatile, too. Check out this cranberry Brie hash brown recipe for a fun twist.
3. Bagel and Cream Cheese
A lot of people don’t know that Dunkin’ actually has five different cream cheese flavors: plain, reduced fat plain, strawberry, garden veggie, and chive and onion. Pair one with your favorite bagel and you’re ready to take on the day.
4. Muffins
Don’t want a doughnut but still want something sweet? Muffins are always the right answer. They come in six flavors: blueberry, reduced fat blueberry, corn, chocolate chip, honey bran raisin and coffee cake. These muffins are filling and portable, and you can pair them perfectly with your favorite coffee.
5. Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich
For those who love a hearty breakfast, this sandwich is exactly what you’re looking for. You can switch the flaky croissant for a variety of options, like a plain bagel, Texas toast, English muffin, multigrain flatbread, or a multigrain bagel. This will satisfy those savory cravings and will keep you full until lunch.
6. Egg and Cheese Sandwich
If you want a savory sandwich but don’t want to eat meat, this is for you. Dunkin’ Donuts describes this sandwich as “simple meets satisfying,” and I couldn’t agree more. Instead of making this at home, sleep in a little (you deserve it) and pick this up at your local DD.
7. Big N’Toasted
For me, this is the most iconic Dunkin’ Donuts breakfast sandwich. American cheese, fried eggs, and bacon are sandwiched between two delicious slices of Texas toast. While this definitely isn’t the healthiest choice on the menu, it’s one of the most filling.
8. Maple Sugar Breakfast Sandwich
As a part of the Dunkin’ Donuts fall flavors, this sandwich features maple sugar bacon, cheese, and an egg. Served on a croissant, this is a perfect treat when you need a break from pumpkin spice-flavored foods but still want a fall touch. Its recommended pairing is with a maple pecan-flavored iced coffee, which sounds like a fab start to any morning.
9. Angus Steak and Egg Sandwich
This sandwich is one of the more unique ones in this list. Egg, cheese, and Angus Steak on a toasted bagel (or another bread variety of your choice) creates this masterpiece of a sandwich. Eat it on your own, share it with a friend, or save part of it for later.
10. Chicken Biscuit Sandwich
While not marketed as a breakfast item, this Chicken Biscuit Sandwich is a simple, hearty way to start your morning. This classic sandwich is the perfect choice to pair with another breakfast item, like hash browns and your favorite coffee. Sadly, this sandwich is not offered in every location, but if it’s available where you are, definitely give it a try.
11. Oatmeal
Sometimes when you’re not craving some intricate sandwich, you want something tried-and-true. Choosing this whole-grain Quaker oatmeal topped with dried fruit from Dunkin’ Donuts is a warm, portable breakfast option. It comes in two flavors, original and brown sugar, for those of us who have a sweet tooth.
12. Cheese Danish
Available in three flavors (cheese, apple cheese and strawberry cheese), these pastries are flaky and wonderful. Their biggest downside is that they’re not available at every location. If you’re up for a challenge, find one of these at a Dunkin’ Donuts near you.
If you thought Dunkin’ Donuts only sold donuts, you were dead wrong. This chain’s amazing variety of sweet and savory goodies can satisfy any breakfast craving, no matter how demanding it might be. If you haven’t tried the 12 best Dunkin’ Donuts breakfast items that aren’t donuts, you might be missing out.
