At some point in the last few years, we must have run out of cookies, cakes, and pies to try to mimic the flavor of, and the wandering eye of some product developer landed on churros as the next great flavor to reproduce in a different format. Churros are delicious! Surely, this will work! <\/p>\n
Who could blame someone for trying to capture that magic in another form, and who could blame the next 200 companies who decided they needed to try their hand at it too? Me, apparently. The spring menu at Dunkin\u2019 is leaning heavily into the churro trend, and the newest Signature Latte tries to capture the essence of the cinnamon and sugar-dusted fried pastry in a cup of coffee. The Churro Signature Latte is made from espresso, milk, and churro syrup topped with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s good! I like this drink! It\u2019s smooth, creamy, and perfectly sweet without being too sweet. So what\u2019s the problem? It doesn\u2019t remotely remind me of a churro. We\u2019ve already seen the likes of Ben & Jerry\u2019s<\/a>, Kit Kat<\/a>, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch try and fail to crack the churro code, and Dunkin\u2019s attempt might be the weakest of them all.<\/p>\n When I see something churro-flavored, I now assume it will be heavy on the cinnamon\/sugar aspect because the taste and texture of fried dough are much more challenging to replicate in anything that isn\u2019t actually fried dough. This latte misses the mark on capturing any pastry taste, and it somehow misses out on cinnamon too. The churro syrup doesn\u2019t seem to contribute anything besides sweetness. If there\u2019s supposed to be something more complex there, it\u2019s so subtle that I\u2019m unable to pick up on it and the cinnamon, even if I get a swoop of whipped cream flecked with it, is barely noticeable. While I find this extremely drinkable, nothing distinguishes it from a dressed-up latte you could get any time, anywhere.<\/p>\n I can\u2019t say I\u2019m disappointed in this drink because my expectations that it could capture the spirit of a churro were pretty low, and it\u2019s a tasty beverage. In terms of a limited time offering though, it feels lazy and like the \u201cchurro\u201d label is there just to capitalize on a fad. You wouldn\u2019t sprinkle oregano on a stick and call it an Italian sub so why is it acceptable to add a pinch of cinnamon to something and call it churro? I wouldn\u2019t discourage anyone from ordering it, but I think there\u2019s an element of beating a dead dessert craze here. Can we let churros just be churros and go back to stuffing them in our mouths instead of half-heartedly cramming them into every other foodstuff? I\u2019d consider ordering this again if I\u2019m in the mood for a whipped cream-topped latte but I\u2019m confident that long after the churro syrup is gone, Dunkin\u2019 will still be able to make me this same drink.<\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/strong> $5.29 At some point in the last few years, we must have run out of cookies, cakes, and pies to try to mimic the flavor of, and the wandering eye of some product developer landed on churros as the next great flavor to reproduce in a different format.
