While many have probably thought about having ice cream for breakfast, this coffee n' donut ice cream flavor takes the more realistic route of infusing a bit of breakfast into dessert. The official June 2015 Flavor of the Month, the coffee n' donut ice cream is the product of a fun partnership between [Baskin-Robbins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breakfast-ice-cream) and sister chain [Dunkin' Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-spice-munchkins-drink).

The coffee n' donut ice cream, which will be available in American Baskin-Robbins locations for the month of June, is a coffee and donut flavor, which also contains donut pieces throughout. The June 2015 Flavor of the Month is available in a cone, cup, as a sundae or in a Cappuccino Blast milkshake.

The coffee n' donut ice cream accompanies several Father's Day cakes also available this month.
