7 Discontinued Menu Items My Family Would Love to See Back on Dunkin’s Menu

While many people often choose Starbucks as their go-to coffee and pastry destination, my family has always chosen Dunkin' as our favorite morning location. If you love coffee, they have everything you need. Donut lovers also have a wide selection from which to choose, and there are always new flavors to love. If you've been going to Dunkin' for as long as we have, then you've likely seen many tasty treats come and go, and that's what we're talking about today: The discontinued items that we would love to see back on Dunkin's menu.

There have been some amazing menu options here over the years that we desperately want back. Who else remembers those amazing donut fries that they had for a while? How about the pancake minis that you could enjoy on your way to work? They even had some unique coffee flavors that blew our minds over the years. For now, all we have are the memories. Let's go back in time and remember the greatest Dunkin' menu items that are now long gone.

This post was updated in January 2026 with updated information about discontinued menu items at Dunkin'.

One of the first options that we'd love to see back on Dunkin's menu is their famous donut fries. They came out in 2018, and people went wild for them. They were as they sound: Fries with the same texture and taste as donuts, but you could take them anywhere and share them with friends. Plus, at just $2 for a batch, they were also a steal.

While we thought the donut fries were delicious, not everyone was on board, at least not enough for Dunkin' to keep the treats on its menu. Adding to the issue was that the company intended for the donut fries to only be a limited summertime release. It's a shame because the sky was the limit. Just imagine donut fries in all the fun flavors that we currently get in regular donuts. The sky is the limit.

The Dunkalatte, first released in late 2024, has been brought back seasonally and was available again in 2025. It's a coffee drink with the addition of coffee milk. It's truly unique, and though it looks like something you could get at Starbucks, it's definitely its own thing. The "coffee milk" was actually a mixture of coffee and whole milk. It was like a caffeinated milkshake, and people loved it.

If you loved The Dunkalatte as much as I did, then you may be in a good mood after you hear this news. For starters, this beverage was a seasonal treat and has already returned to the menu after its initial run. Even if you don't see it at Dunkin', you can also make this treat at home by following this recipe.

Another treat that we wish were back on Dunkin's menu is the croissant stuffers. They were truly iconic and unique to this restaurant. You could get them stuffed with turkey, bacon, chicken, and cheese. They were tasty and perfectly seasoned, and you could take them with you on the way to work or school. Tasty treats were released in 2019, but as of 2020, they are gone. 

The croissant stuffers sound like they would fit right in with the Dunkin' menu. Strangely, they didn't stick around. The reason may be due to the costs of producing the treats. Things were tough during the COVID-19 pandemic, so maybe they didn't think the cost was worth it. In 2020, there was a Change.org campaign to try to bring the treats back, but it wasn't to be.

While many people head to Dunkin' looking for a coffee and a donut to start their morning, many people also head there for lunch. They have many great midday meals, including sandwiches and meals. One of the best items that was gone too soon was the green goddess wrap. It was discontinued in late 2024 and is not available as of January 2026.

If you didn't get a chance to try the green goddess wrap, then you missed something pretty spectacular. It was a tasty vegetarian lunch dish that was packed with tasty ingredients and green goddess dressing. It was one of those vegetarian dishes that anyone could enjoy. As of January 2026, there have been no official announcements or credible reports that the Green Goddess Wrap will return.

It makes sense for a chain that specializes in breakfast options like coffee and donuts to expand its horizons. So, it's no surprise that for a limited time, the company released these tasty pancake minis. Released in 2021, the small pancakes came in an envelope with a side of syrup. They were great for eating on the go, and you could eat them with your hands!

We want to see the mini pancakes return to Dunkin's menu, but we don't know if that will happen. One day, the pancakes just disappeared from the menu. While there is no official announcement, Pancake Minis are not currently available as of January 2026. It could be that they didn't sell as well as the company hoped, or maybe they took too many resources to prepare and sell them. All we know is that we hope they come back.

If you go to almost any coffee shop, you'll have the option for a hazelnut coffee, but as of January 2026, the Hazelnut Swirl is not available; hazelnut flavor shots remain an option. It was the perfect combination of coffee and that smooth nuttiness. One day, it was simply gone from the menu. People were upset, and they started contacting the company. There was even a Change.org petition created to try to bring it back.

The mystery as to what happened to the disappearing hazelnut swirl beverage is yet to be solved. When asked, many employees said that the drink wasn't as popular as many of the other beverages, so it didn't make sense to keep it on the menu. Many people were upset with the coffee giant and repeatedly went into shops to demand their swirl. By the way, try not to do that. It will only put stress on the employees, and they're not in charge of what the company sells.

Vegetarians and other people who'd like to avoid meat are probably wishing that the Beyond Sausage Sandwich would make its way back on Dunkin's menu. Dunkin' decided to jump on the meatless bandwagon back in 2019 and introduced this mouthwatering creation. The sandwich had great protein, egg, and cheese alternatives, and it was tasty for both meat eaters and non-meat eaters.

The Beyond Sausage Sandwich was discontinued in 2021 and has not returned to the menu as of January 2026. Many people wondered why, but it probably came down to sales. During that time, every restaurant had some form of meatless sandwich, but they didn't sell as well as the companies hoped. Plus, Dunkin' was also sued for having a slogan, "Plant-Based, Great Taste," that was too close to the similar slogan of a competitor.
