I’ve been a loyal fan of Dunkin’ Donuts since the 1990s and by loyal, I mean, I go there almost every single week. Even if I’m out of town, I still find myself going to a Dunkin’ shop either for coffee and donuts or a sandwich.
One time I was thinking about what the most popular items on the Dunkin’ Donuts new menu are. I always go for the same stuff – a half dozen donuts (mostly Boston Crème) or a bacon, cheese and egg sandwich, brewed coffee or an iced macchiato, or a box of munchkins. These are my favorite Dunkin’ choices. But I wouldn’t necessarily say they’re the most popular options.
So I did some research and discovered several interesting things that I thought I’d share in this post.
The Most Popular Item on the Dunkin’ Donut Menu
Not surprisingly, Dunkin’ Donuts’ Hot and Iced Coffees are the most ordered items on the menu, with hot coffees just a few customers shy of surpassing iced coffees.
The real star of the show, though, is the Iced Macchiato.
My favorite cold beverage is the most popular item on the Dunkin’ menu. The Dunkin’ Iced Macchiato combines cold iced coffee with creamy milk and flavored syrup, topped with whipped cream and a caramel drizzle. It contains 284 milligrams of caffeine to keep you energized throughout the day.

What People are Saying About Dunkin’ Donuts
Let me share some reviews left by other Dunkin’ fans in this section:

I am a true Dunkin Donuts fan. Every morning, I come here to get my iced coffee. The coffee is always good, never water down so that is a plus. I’ve had my fair share of s***y coffee from other various Dunkies. The line here goes by very quickly, even during rush hour in the morning when the line often curls outside the door onto the sidewalk. The employees are accurate with the orders most of the time… I have seriously seen some idiots working at DD’s before…and trust me, making coffee should not be that complicated (having been a former DD’s employee). There are always multiple employees at the front counter, which saves time – If the cashier is busy atm, the “beverage preparer” person will usually save time by taking your order beforehand, which is always a plus. Also, I love how they always give me a hot cup every time, since I ask for one every morning. Also, its awesome how the hot cups here are free- in other DD’s, including the one where I used to work, they will charge u 27 cents? That is ridiculous, come on now- its a piece of STYROFOAM which is probably worth less than 1/2 of a penny… If you’re looking for your quick morning coffee fix, and you work in the Financial District/downtown area, this is the Dunks to hit up. It has quick service, and the coffee is usually up to par. Forget Starbucks.

Get Jess a raise!! I don’t write reviews, but this girl has always got me. Every time I come in, she’s working hard. She’s always helping someone out and is so nice about it, she knows what’s happening, and every time I come in she makes my drink literally perfect (she knows it by now), and she is the fastest Dunkin employee I have ever met (and I’ve been to a lot all over the north and south, my in laws love Dunkin). End of story, whoever the manager is needs to get her a raise or something. Whatever she gets paid is not enough.
