TrendPulse|Dunkin's pumpkin spice latte is back: See what else is on the fall menu

August is TrendPulsealmost over, which means things like football season, bonfires and pumpkin-flavored items will soon be returning en masse − if they haven't already.

While Starbucks rolled out its fall menu last week, Dunkin' teased a "very patient, very demure" return of its seasonal menu, including pumpkin-flavored items.

The menu is officially back beginning Wednesday, Dunkin' announced in a news release, and features returning fan favorites, like the Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte, as well as a few new items for fans to try, such as the Almond Spice Coffee.

The Apple Cider Donut also makes its first nationwide return since 2021, Dunkin' said in the news release.

“Whether guests are craving the classic pumpkin treats, loaded hash browns or trying something new, like our coffee milk latte, the Dunkalatte, there’s truly something for everyone to enjoy at Dunkin’ this fall,” said Beth Turenne, Vice President of Category Marketing at Dunkin', in the news release.
