— June 25, 2025 — Lifestyle
Dunkin' fans love their frozen drinks and this summer, the largest coffee and donuts brand in the United States is helping customers cool off with a new lineup of Ice Cream-Inspired Frozen Coffees. Inspired by the melted edges of ice cream on a hot day, these frozen coffee beverages reinvent nostalgic scoop shop experiences with cooling flavors, whipped cream, drizzle, and crunchy waffle cone pieces.

In the Ice Cream-Inspired Frozen Coffee range, there's Cookie Dough Frozen Coffee—a highly requested fan-favorite flavor—Mint Chocolate Chip Frozen Coffee, and Butter Pecan Frozen Coffee with nutty, roasted notes.

These icy sips promise to pair perfectly with Dunkin’s latest bakery lineup, which includes a summery 50-count MUNCHKINS assortment in a reusable beach bucket, a braided apple pie pastry, and the Star Spangled Donut.
