If you&#8217;ve had a drink with cold foam before, you&#8217;re probably already familiar with its wider-than-usual opening that serves a mouthful of intact foam with each no-straw-required sip (before the foam inevitably melts, anyway). <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dunkscccb2.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dunkin Salted Caramel Cold Brew Foam\" title=\"dunkscccb2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next, I need to thank said lid for allowing me to experience such a delicious flavor. The Salted Caramel Cream Cold Brew name is predictably accurate, as right off the bat, the foam packs a mix of salt, caramel, and cream flavors. Interestingly, though, while I don&#8217;t usually think of either salt or caramel as being subtle, they were not what stood out to me in my sampling. That honor goes to the foam&#8217;s creaminess, and I don&#8217;t just mean its soft, luxurious texture. The flavor that it most reminded me of was actually Twinkie filling. Sure, its rich, sweet taste played a large part in that, but so did the sheer feeling of comfort it brought me. Coffee tends to get a bad rap through its association with the stressed out, overworked, and under-slept, but this saccharine cold foam had me feeling childlike wonder.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dunkscccb3.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dunkin Salted Caramel Cold Brew Half Full\" title=\"dunkscccb3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The cold brew (which I ordered black, though you can opt for cream) felt pretty standard with its dark, almost chocolatey flavor profile. While it was velvety and milder than a brew of the non-cold variety, I didn&#8217;t get much of the tang of saltiness nor the buttery richness of caramel from the drink itself. Notably, it performed a bit of color-changing magic. Remember that inevitably melty foam? The coffee started out a very deep brown but ended up practically tan from foam seepage, which presumably contributed to its rich, silky taste. I&#8217;ve witnessed the occasional schism between &#8220;serious&#8221; coffee drinkers who prefer a plain and simple experience and those like myself who welcome every frilly flavor out there, but I don&#8217;t think this offering is any less elegant for its sweetness, achieving a middle ground that can appeal to both sides.<\/p>\n<p>I will say, I&#8217;m not sure why this is specifically a spring menu item. Maybe I&#8217;m just distracted by the thought of caramel apples, but the flavor strikes me as autumnal, if anything. So it&#8217;s a bit of a seasonal stretch, but eh, tomayto, tomahto (or cair-a-mel, car-mel).<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, if you&#8217;re not already a cold brew fan, I don&#8217;t think this will be the drink to convert you. But if you are a curious connoisseur \u2014 or if you&#8217;re just looking for some extra pep in your step and want a smooth, multifaceted flavor to help you achieve it \u2014 I&#8217;d recommend checking this one out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $5.00<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> Small (12 oz)<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> 140 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 1.5 grams of saturated fat, 10 milligrams of cholesterol, 75 milligrams of sodium, 28 grams of total carbohydrates, 27 grams of total sugars, 0 grams of fiber, and 1 gram of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was a hard review to write, and by that, I mean I gave in to the temptation to take a tiny taste of cold foam immediately after leaving Dunkin&#8217; and then had to exert a downright colossal amount of willpower to make the suddenly-excruciating three-minute walk home without downing the entire thing.
