When Will Dunkin’s Pumpkin Drinks Return In 2026? We Have A Date

For many, summer is just a transition season until we get to fall. That’s not to say the barbeques, ice-cold lemonades, and sunny days at the pool aren’t much appreciated, but if you’re an autumn girlie, it’s all about counting down to falling leaves, crisp air, and, of course, pumpkin-flavored treats. If this past summer has felt like an endurance test, Dunkin’ is here to reward you with its iconic Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte, and likely many other fall menu faves, more than a month before fall officially begins (because even though most autumn lovers already have their cozy sweaters at the ready, the season doesn’t actually start until Sept. 22, believe it or not). 

On Aug. 2, Dunkin’ posted a carousel to its Instagram, with each slide reading, “Pumpkin back at Dunkin’ 8/19” with a progressively bigger and bigger font — because, yes, this really is that big of a deal for fall and Dunkin’ fans. This means Dunkin’s pumpkin flavor is coming back one whole week before the queen of PSL, Starbucks, releases its fall menu on Aug. 25.

As of Aug. 3, Dunkin’ has yet to confirm its full fall menu, but there are clues regarding what might be featured on it this year. For starters, let’s look back to 2025’s fall menu (which Dunkin’ revealed on Aug. 20 of that year): the crowd-pleasing lineup consisted of the Cereal N’ Milk Latte, Sabrina Carpenter’s Daydream Refreshers (in flavors Mixed Berry, Mango, and Strawberry), the Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte, the all-new Iced Pumpkin Loaf, and returning bakery staples featuring the Pumpkin Cake Donut and Pumpkin Munchkins. 

But that’s not all the intel that’s available. According to food blogger Markie Devo, who publishes early intel about chain restaurant item releases, the fall 2026 Dunkin’ menu will have other pumpkin drinks besides the Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte, including the Nutty Pumpkin Protein Latte, Pumpkin Patch Cloud Latte, Pumpkin Pie Coffee Chiller, and the Pumpkin Cloud Dunkalatte. Devo reported other fall menu drinks include the Tiramisu Cloud Latte, Tiramisu Protein Latte, Tiramisu Shaken Espresso, and Tiramisu Matcha Marshmallow, as well as the Berry Daydream Refresher, Melon Deuce Energy, and Berry Clementine Refresher, plus classics like the Harvest Spiced Chai and Matcha Point. Devo also posted about snacks that are expected to be on the menu, such as the Pumpkin Donut, Pumpkin Munchkins, Pumpkin Muffin, Chipotle Hashbrowns, and Chipotle Hashbrown Wake-Up Wrap, among others.

So far, the only confirmed fall menu news is that pumpkin returns to Dunkin’ on Aug. 18 — but if you’re itching for the new season, at least there are plenty of possibilities to keep you salivating until Dunkin’ shares more confirmed news.
