What is the Dunkin’ Signature Pumpkin Spice Latte?
If you’re searching for a slight remix on the typical Pumpkin Spice Latte, Dunkin’ has you covered.
How is it?
Quick, without looking, what’s today’s date?!
Yeah, I had no idea either, but I bet you’re a little shocked we’ve already reached Pumpkin Spice Season. Sure, it seems to come earlier and earlier every year, but if you told me it was June 10th, I wouldn’t put up a fight. Times and dates have become a complete blur.
If you need something to help shake that fog, might I suggest this new Signature Pumpkin Spice Latte.
The word “Signature” might be fogging my thought process here, but this tastes like an “upscale” iced pumpkin spiced latte. A slightly more mature tasting Dunkin’ drink if you will. The difference here is a shot of espresso and vanilla.
The vanilla flavor definitely bleeds through nicely. The espresso balances the pumpkin flavor, which prevents it from being too overbearing or artificial tasting.
Anything else you need to know?
The downside about lattes, especially at Dunkin’, is that they ultimately end up tasting more like a milk drink than a coffee. That sounds obvious, but if I told you this was some kind of NesQuik-style coffee and pumpkin-flavored milk, you’d believe me. I acknowledge how nitpicky this sounds.
I’m hot and cold on whipped topping, but the cinnamon-topped cream here was a perfect addition. I actually think I liked the last few sips of latte and melted topping best.
Oh, and speaking of hot and cold, you can get this hot or iced. I always opt for iced.
Conclusion:
So, this really isn’t an extreme departure from the pumpkin spice fare you’re used to, but it’s still quite good.
I like the thought process. Pumpkin spice is a bit played out, so why not start mixing it with other flavors and really ramp it up? Vanilla is a good start, but I want some Mocha Pumpkin Spice stuff or something weirder like Coconut Pumpkin Spice. That should be the bridge coffee from summer to fall.
It’s fall now, right? What day is it again? I forgot already.

Hmmm I think you can only get this cold. There isn’t a signature pumpkin spice hot latte. ‘Least I don’t see how to get it hot on the app. Glad you liked it though. Yummy! I was definitely at Dunkin as soon as their pumpkin flavors dropped.
You dumb Sandra. Of course they have it..
