Over the years, the donut chain has said goodbye to many fan favorites like its spicy ghost pepper donut or its Donut Fries.
While it's natural for companies to test things, it’s also likely that some folks will get attached.
We’ve rounded up some of the most missed drinks from Dunkin’ that fans are still sad about.
1. SWEET AND SALTED COLD BREW
The Sweet and Salted Cold Brew was launched in 2017 in the Dunkin’ Test Kitchen.

The company said that it took a few tries to perfect the blend between sweet and salty.
To get the right amount, Dunkin' added liquid sugar cane for a little extra sweetness and topped it off with a special, proprietary, salted whipped topping.
Customers could grab the brew at all participating locations - but only for a limited amount of time.
2. DUNKACCINO
Dunkin' has confirmed that fans will no longer be able to score the Dunkaccino.

This debuted in 2000 and is a blend of hot chocolate and coffee flavors.
The frozen version of the drink has also been discontinued, according to Today.
"As we focus on innovation and finding new ways to delight guests, we continually evolve our menu in an effort to deliver a fast, frictionless experience," the statement from Dunkin' began, per Today.
"The Dunkaccino is retired for now, but there’s always the chance for its return in the future."
3. STRAWBERRY POPPING BUBBLES
In June 2021, the donut chain hopped on the boba trend and launched its version - the Strawberry Popping Bubbles.
The drink had strawberry flavor packed into small bursting bubbles that pop in your mouth.
Plus, customers could add the Popping Bubbles to any Dunkin’ iced or frozen beverage - for a small fee.
The bubbles were made with color sourced from plants and were hoping to pair with its iced drinks like the Coconut Refreshers or Lemonade.
However, the drink didn’t last long as shortly after it was discontinued.
4. OREO COOLATTA
This fan favorite was first introduced in the summer of 2015 as part of a new food and beverage lineup.
The drink was a Cookie flavored Coolatta made with real cookie mix-ins for each sip.
A Coolatta is basically an icy dessert shake that switches with each season.
Unfortunately for some, the drink was short-lived after it was given the ax in 2017.
One Twitter user wrote: "Can Dunkin bring back the Oreo coolata now."
5. ALMOND JOY HOT CHOCOLATE
The hot beverage was an addition in 2017 and quickly became beloved as Bustle coined the drink, "just as delicious as it sounds."
It was a creamy milk chocolate, almond, and coconut candy flavor that tasted identical to the popular candy bar.
Plus, it was the start of pairings with the Hershey company.
But like all good things, it came to an end as it was only around for a limited time.
6. GIRL SCOUT COOKIE FLAVORED COFFEES
All across the nation, cookie lovers unite as Dunkin' introduces coffees inspired by the iconic and original Girl Scout Cookies.
In recent years, Dunkin' has tried Coconut Caramel inspired coffee, bringing together toasted coconut with creamy caramel, as well as Thin Mints-inspired coffee.
Back in 2019, it also added a Trefoils Shortbread drink inspired by the popular cookie.
As the cookies are only offered for a limited time, so are the coffees.
