Dunkin's 2026 fall menu is expected on August 19, 2026, per Sporked's coverage of the leaked lineup, though Dunkin had not published an official announcement when we last reviewed this page on August 13, 2026. The caffeine picture is clearer than the date: the returning Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte is a flavor build on Dunkin's standard latte, which runs 166mg in a medium, per Caffeine Informer's Dunkin guide, because pumpkin swirl adds sugar, not caffeine. This page tracks what is in the leak, what is verified, and what we will update once Dunkin posts the menu.
What the leaked 2026 menu shows
Per Sporked, the pumpkin block is all returning items: the Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte, Pumpkin Cloud Dunkalatte, Pumpkin Patch Cloud Latte, and Pumpkin Pie Coffee Chiller, plus the Pumpkin Donut, Pumpkin Munchkins, and Pumpkin Muffin from the bakery case. The new territory is a full tiramisu lineup (Tiramisu Cloud Latte, Tiramisu Protein Latte, Tiramisu Shakin' Espresso, Tiramisu Marshmallow), a Nutty Pumpkin Protein Latte, two new refreshers, a Harvest Spiced Chai, and a Melon Deuce Energy drink. Treat all of it as leak-grade until Dunkin confirms; this page will separate confirmed from rumored the moment an official announcement posts.
The verified caffeine floor under the fall drinks
Dunkin does not publish per-drink caffeine for most seasonal items, but the seasonal drinks are swirl-and-topping builds on standard bases, and the bases are verified in Caffeine Informer's Dunkin guide. Sizes below are Dunkin's hot sizes (small 10 oz, medium 14 oz, large 20 oz) and iced sizes (small 16 oz, medium 24 oz, large 32 oz).
| Base drink | Small | Medium | Large |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hot latte (the Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte base) | 118mg | 166mg | 252mg |
| Iced latte | 118mg | 166mg | 252mg |
| Brewed coffee | 180mg | 210mg | 270mg |
| Iced coffee | 198mg | 297mg | 396mg |
| Cold brew | 174mg | 260mg | 347mg |
| Frozen coffee | 196mg | 295mg | 393mg |
| Vanilla chai (closest published chai figure) | 54mg | 80mg | 107mg |
Two Dunkin quirks matter for fall ordering. First, plain brewed and iced coffee out-caffeinate the lattes: a medium iced coffee at 297mg nearly doubles a medium pumpkin latte at 166mg, so "just a coffee with pumpkin swirl" is the strong order, not the latte. Second, Dunkin's iced medium is 24 oz against a Starbucks grande's 16 oz, so cross-chain comparisons need the per-ounce math; our Dunkin sizes guide and cold brew vs iced coffee breakdown cover both.
The one pumpkin item with its own published number
The grocery-shelf Dunkin Bottled Iced Coffee and Milk in Pumpkin Spice carries 187mg per 13.7 oz bottle, per Caffeine Informer. That is more caffeine than the medium in-store pumpkin latte in a smaller container, which surprises people stocking the fridge for the season. On the energy side, the returning Sparkd Energy base runs 144mg in a medium; the leaked Melon Deuce Energy has no published figure yet, and we will add it when one exists. The complete chain rundown is in our Dunkin caffeine chart.
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.
