Dunkin Donuts Vegan FAQ
Is Dunkin’s Amond Protein Matcha Latte vegan?
No. I wanted to address this because of the word almond being in the title. And knowing that Dunkin’ offers almond milk, this one could easily be thought to be dairy free. Here are the ingredients:
Milk: Reduced Fat Milk, Ultra-Filtered Skim Milk, Lactase Enzyme, Vitamin A Palmitate and Vitamin D3; Matcha Blend: Cane Sugar,
Matcha Tea; Toasted Almond Flavor: Natural Flavor, Contains 2% or less of: Fruit Juice for Color.
July 2026
Are any of Dunkin’s “Protein” drink vegan?
No. The protein in Dunkin’s “protein” drinks is just calf’s milk.
Is Dunkin’s Brown Sugar Almond Protein Hot Macchiato Vegan?
No. Dunkin debuted this drink in January/February 2026. It can be modified but then it would just be a Brown Sugar Almond Hot Macchiato. The protein in the name is only there because it has dairy milk in it.
Dunkin’ has added a new category of “protein drinks.” This only means that dairy milk is in the drink. That’s it. So… to make the drink in question vegan, order a Macchiato with brown sugar syrup and almond flavor.
Is the Coffee Milk in Dunkin’s Dunkalatte vegan?
No. According to Dunkin’s ingredient list, the coffee milk contains:
No. While Dunkin’s hot chocolate powder states it is non-dairy, it contains dairy. Here are the ingredients from Dunkin’s 11.10.25 website attachment:
Hot Chocolate Powder: Sugar, Non-Dairy Creamer [Refined Coconut Oil, Corn Syrup Solids, Sodium Caseinate (a milk derivative), Mono and Diglycerides, Dipotassium Phosphate, Sugar, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Soy Lecithin, Annatto and Turmeric (Colors), Artificial Flavor], Cocoa Powder processed with alkali, Corn Syrup Solids, Nonfat Dry Milk, Cellulose Gum, Salt, Xanthan Gum, Natural and Artificial Flavor, Sodium Citrate.
What is in Dunkin’s Cookie Butter Cloud Latte’s Topping?
Dunkin’s Cookie Butter Cloud Latte is a holiday special in 2025. While the topping (Cookie Butter Crumble) is “accidentally vegan” in its ingredients, we do want to share that it contains palm oil. You choose your level of comfort. Here is the ingredient list in its entirety:
We consider this item to be accidentally vegan due to not knowing that there are a couple of ingredients that we are not able to learn what the source is (plant, animal or synthetic). You choose your level of comfort.
No. Dunkin’s (limited time) Lava Cake Swirl Syrup contains dairy. This means you cannot order the Lava Cake Coffee or the Lava Cake Signature Latte if you are vegan, plant based or dairy free.
Are Dunkin’s Stuffed Bagel Minis Vegan?
No. Dunkin’s Stuffed Bagel Minis contains dairy in the filling.
Is Dunkin’s Brownie Batter Swirl Vegan?

Peppermint Mocha Flavored Swirl Syrup: High Fructose Corn Syrup, Sugar, Cocoa processed with alkali, Water, Natural Flavors, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative), Citric Acid, Salt
Are Any Of Dunkin’s Pumpkin Flavored Items Vegan?
Unfortunately, no.
The Pumpkin Flavored Swirl and Pumpkin Flavored Cream Cold Foam contain dairy. The Pumpkin Spice is a combo of the pumpkin flavored swirl syrup, which we just mentioned contains dairy, with a cinnamon sugar topping (sugar, cinnamon, cinnamon oil). Pumpkin Cream is the same as Pumpkin Flavored Cream Cold Foam.
The Nutty Pumpkin Coffee is not vegan either. It contains the pumpkin-flavored swirl (not vegan).
The Pumpkin Chai is a combo of the pumpkin flavored swirl (not vegan) + chai tea syrup (the chai tea syrup IS vegan).
Any of the Pumpkin Donuts/Munchkins contain dairy and egg. This goes for the Pumpkin Muffin as well.

No. Dunkin’s Butter Pecan Swirl contains dairy.
Is Dunkin’s Vanilla Flavored Swirl Syrup Vegan?
Nope. Like every other “Swirl” Syrup (except for the Mocha Swirl), the Vanilla Swirl contains condensed milk; aka dairy. This also means the Vanilla Bean Coolatta is NOT vegan, as it contains this Vanilla Swirl Syrup.
Is Dunkin’s Peanut Butter Cup Macchiato Vegan?
No. This drink contains a Peanut Butter Cup Swirl Syrup that has dairy. Unfortunately, the swirl is the only ingredient that makes this a peanut butter drink. I wrote more about it and Dunkin’s 2021 Halloween info, here.
Are Dunkin Bagels Vegan?
This is probably the question we get asked most often here at VeggL. Here is all the information we have regarding the bagels at Dunkin.
The bagels at Dunkin contain Dough Conditioners, which according to their Allergen Menu, are made from Malted Barley, Flour, and Enzymes. When many of us see Dough Conditioners, we think of L-Cysteine and we get concerned that the product is not vegan.
However, Dunkin put out their own press release a couple of years ago regarding their vegan menu items. They list their Cinnamon Raisin, Plain, Everything and Sesame bagels on this release.
They also state on this release what they consider vegan:
*Dunkin’s definition of a vegan menu item is a food or beverage whose formula contains no animal sources: no meat, fish, shellfish, milk, egg or honey products, and no enzymes and rennet from animal sources. All of Dunkin’s menu items (vegan and non-vegan) are prepared in the same area. Dunkin’ cannot guarantee that there will be no cross-contact between products or ingredients.
We list Dunkin’s bagels as vegan because they specifically tell us they are.
Does Dunkin’s Mocha Flavored Swirl Syrup contain dairy?
No! It is the ONLY swirl syrup, currently, that does NOT contain dairy.
Is Dunkin’s Hot Chocolate vegan?
No. Dunkin uses a premixed powder for their hot chocolate and it contains dairy. This also goes for the Frozen Chocolate.
Does Dunkin’ have vegan Chai?
Yes! If your order a Chai Latte, hot or iced with your choice of non-dairy milk, this is vegan.
The Chai is just a syrup called, Chai Tea Syrup or in their ingredient list, Chai Tea Latte Concentrate.
Does Dunkin Donuts have vegan donuts?
No. Unfortunately, Dunkin Donuts does not currently offer any vegan donut options.
However, hope ‘was’ on the horizon. According to a report from Livekindly , Dunkin CEO David Hoffmann recently made an announcement when asked about the possibility of a vegan donut.
He told a room full of shareholders that, “As it relates to a vegan donut, we continue to investigate a viable vegan donut option. We are looking at it closely.”
2020
Are Dunkin Donuts muffins vegan?
Only if you count the English Muffin as a muffin. That’s the only muffin that’s vegan.
Dunkin’ serves Planet Oat Oat Milk at their US locations.
Does Dunkin Have Hummus Toast?
Not anymore. In the spring of 2022, Dunkin debuted Roasted Tomato & Hummus Toast. You could also order it as plain Hummus Toast without the tomatoes. It was delicious! I liked it better than the Avocado Toast.
In the early 2022 fall, I was told it was being discontinued in some locations. And now, it is no longer on the menu anywhere.
Does Dunkin’ Offer Coconut Milk?
In April of 2021, Dunkin’ brought coconut milk in as a dairy-free milk option. As of late December 2023, they have chosen to remove it.
Is Dunkin’s Cocoa Mocha Vegan?
No. As-is, Dunkin’s Cocoa Mocha contains dairy. Could you modify it? Sure, you can. But all you are left with is a Latte with your choice of non-dairy milk and mocha syrup. It probably would make sense to just order that rather than doing all of the substitutions.
What Vegan Syrups Did Dunkin’ Offer for the 2024 Holiday Season?
Dunkin’ offered a vegan-friendly Brown Sugar Cookie Syrup, Peppermint Mocha Swirl Syrup and Churro Swirl Syrup for the 2024 holidays.
