Dunkin drinks under 100 calories: the verified list

Plenty of Dunkin drinks come in under 100 calories, and a surprising number sit at 5 calories or less: black hot coffee, iced coffee, cold brew, nitro cold brew, americanos, espresso shots, and unsweetened iced teas. Add skim milk, almondmilk, or oatmilk and most coffees stay under 50. The line you have to watch is the sweetener. One order of cream and sugar pushes a small hot coffee from 5 calories to 130. Every number below comes from the official Dunkin nutrition guide, last updated June 10, 2026.

Where the calories actually come from

Coffee itself is nearly calorie free. A large hot coffee, a large iced coffee, and a large cold brew all list 5 calories on Dunkin's guide, and a single espresso shot is 5. Hot teas are listed as having no nutritional significance. So every calorie in your cup is something added at the register: dairy, syrup, swirl, or sugar.

The additions are not equal. Skim milk in a large iced coffee adds about 20 calories. Cream in the same drink adds 115, taking it to 120 and past the cutoff. Sugar alone takes a small iced coffee to 70 calories, and cream plus sugar takes a small to 130. Swirls hit hardest: a small Butter Pecan Swirl hot coffee is 110 calories with the swirl alone, more than a hundred over black.

Caffeine does not track with calories at all. A 5 calorie cold brew is one of the strongest drinks on the menu. If you are picking drinks by both numbers, our Dunkin caffeine content database covers the other half.

For context, the FDA cites 400mg of caffeine a day as an amount generally not associated with negative effects in healthy adults. How caffeine affects you depends on your own tolerance and health, so treat these numbers as information, not advice.

A few borderline cases worth knowing. A medium skim latte lands at exactly 100 calories, hot or iced, so it just misses the cutoff. A medium sweetened iced tea is also exactly 100. And once you get into signature lattes, nothing survives: they start around 250 calories even at small.

FAQ

What is the lowest calorie drink at Dunkin?

Black coffee in any form. Hot coffee, iced coffee, cold brew, and nitro cold brew all list 5 calories or less at every size on Dunkin's nutrition guide, and unsweetened iced tea and iced green tea match them at 5. Hot teas are listed as having no nutritional significance.

How many calories does Dunkin cream add?

Cream takes a small hot coffee from 5 calories to 60 and a medium from 5 to 90, per Dunkin's published data. A large with cream is 120, so cream is the one dairy option that breaks the 100 calorie line at larger sizes. Skim milk, almondmilk, and oatmilk all keep even a large coffee under 50.

Is a Dunkin latte under 100 calories?

Only the small with skim milk, at 70 calories hot or iced. The medium skim latte is exactly 100, and whole milk or any swirl pushes every size well past it. A skim cappuccino is the roomier option: 45, 70, and 90 calories for small, medium, and large.
