My Honest Review: Every Fall Drink Ranked

I’m a coffee snob, so I went into this with high expectations. Some of these absolutely blew me away, while others… well, let’s just say I won’t be ordering them again.

1. Cereal N’ Milk Latte – The Surprise Winner ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My Take: This shouldn’t work, but somehow it absolutely does. It tastes like Saturday morning nostalgia in a cup.

I was skeptical about this one – I mean, cereal milk in coffee? But wow, was I wrong. It’s made with actual cereal milk (not just flavored syrup), and you can genuinely taste that sweet, creamy bottom-of-the-bowl goodness. It’s nutty, slightly fruity, and has this amazing creamy texture that makes it feel like a liquid dessert.

• Price: Small $4.29 | Medium $4.99 | Large $5.49 
• Best Order: Iced with oat milk for extra creaminess 
• Calories: ~280 (Medium)

2. Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte – The Classic ⭐⭐⭐⭐

My Take: They didn’t mess with perfection, and thank goodness for that.

Look, if you’re reading this article, you probably already know if you’re team PSL or not. Dunkin’s version has always been my preference over the “other place” because it’s not overly sweet and actually tastes like real pumpkin spice. The espresso comes through nicely, and it doesn’t taste like liquid candy.

• Price: Small $4.49 | Medium $5.29 | Large $5.99 
• Best Order: Hot with whole milk (classic) or iced with cold foam
• Calories: ~300-380 depending on size

3. Almond Spice Coffee – The Underrated Gem ⭐⭐⭐⭐

My Take: This is what I’ll be ordering when I want something fall-flavored but not overwhelming.

This one’s flying under the radar, but it shouldn’t be. It combines pumpkin and almond flavors in a way that’s sophisticated and not too sweet. I actually prefer this to the PSL when I want something I can drink black. It’s accidentally vegan too, which is a nice bonus.

• Price: Small $3.99 | Medium $4.29 | Large $4.59 
• Best Order: Hot, black for the full flavor experience 
• Calories: ~5-10 (black) | ~150 (with almond milk)

4. Mixed Berry Daydream Refresher – The Disappointment ⭐⭐

My Take: I wanted to love this, but it tastes more artificial than actual berries.

I’m a huge fan of the original Daydream Refreshers, so I had high hopes. Unfortunately, this one misses the mark. The berry flavor is artificial and has this weird medicinal aftertaste. The creamy foam on top is nice, but it can’t save the base drink.

• Price: Small $4.19 | Medium $4.89 | Large $5.39 
• Skip This: Trust me, stick with the mango version

5. Mango Daydream Refresher – The Better Choice ⭐⭐⭐⭐

My Take: If you want a Daydream Refresher, this is the one to get.

Much better than the mixed berry version. The mango flavor is bright and tropical, and it pairs beautifully with the creamy foam. It’s refreshing without being too sweet, and perfect for those warmer fall days when you want something lighter.

• Price: Small $4.19 | Medium $4.89 | Large $5.39 
• Best Order: Medium with light foam if you prefer less creamy drinks

Fall Food Items: The Good, Bad, and Delicious

Apple Cider Donut – Pure Fall Magic ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My Take: This is what fall tastes like, and I’m obsessed.

Y’all, this donut is dangerous. It tastes exactly like those fresh apple cider donuts you get at apple orchards, but available at your corner Dunkin’. The glaze has subtle apple notes, and the cake donut base is perfectly spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. I may have eaten three of these in one sitting. No regrets.

• Price: $1.59 
• Pairing: Perfect with a hot Almond Spice Coffee

Pumpkin Munchkins – The Addictive Snack ⭐⭐⭐⭐

My Take: Buy a six-pack, eat three in the parking lot, share the rest. That’s the Munchkins rule.

These little glazed pumpkin bites are exactly what you’d expect – tiny versions of their pumpkin donut. They’re perfectly portioned for when you want something sweet but don’t want to commit to a full donut. Warning: they’re dangerously easy to polish off.

• Price: 6-pack for $3.49 
• Strategy: Order a dozen and freeze half for later (they reheat well!)

Chipotle Loaded Hash Browns – The Miss ⭐⭐

My Take: Great concept, poor execution. The sauce is too thin and doesn’t pack enough chipotle flavor.

I really wanted to love these because I’m a sucker for loaded hash browns. But the chipotle aioli makes the cheese sauce thin and weirdly eggy. The bacon bits are decent, but they can’t save this dish. The hash browns themselves are often soggy too.

• Price: $4.29 
• Verdict: Skip this and get regular loaded hash browns instead

Kreme Delight Donut – The October Star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My Take: This is like a Boston Cream’s more sophisticated cousin, and I’m here for it.

Available starting October 15th, this is basically a Boston Cream with buttercream instead of custard. The chocolate frosting has nice coffee notes, and there’s just the right amount of vanilla buttercream inside. It’s rich without being overwhelming.

• Price: $2.79 
• Perfect With: A strong black coffee to balance the sweetness

Dunkin’ vs. Starbucks: The Fall Menu Face-Off

Let me settle this debate once and for all. I tried both chains’ fall menus extensively:

Category	Dunkin’	Starbucks	Winner
PSL Price	$4.49 (Small)	$5.95 (Tall)	Dunkin’
Flavor Boldness	Balanced, not too sweet	Sweeter, more syrup-heavy	Dunkin’
Menu Innovation	Cereal N’ Milk Latte	Apple Crisp Macchiato	Dunkin’
Food Options	Better donuts & hash browns	Superior breakfast sandwiches	Tie
Value	Better portions for price	Premium ingredients	Dunkin’
Atmosphere	Quick, efficient	Instagram-worthy, slower	Personal preference

My Verdict: For fall flavors and value, Dunkin’ wins hands down. Starbucks has the atmosphere, but Dunkin’s fall menu is more creative and affordable this year.

Frequently Asked Questions
