It’s Official: Dunkin’s Valentine’s Day Menu Is Finally Here

Valentine’s Day is officially on the horizon. We’ve got less than three weeks before the big day, so consider this your formal reminder to secure those dinner reservations early. While you’re busy brainstorming thoughtful plans for that special someone in your life, why not sweeten the surprise with a sprinkle-topped treat? 

Dunkin’ is sharing the love by bringing back two fan-favorite doughnuts this week, as the Massachussets-based chain tells Food & Wine. Its beloved Brownie Batter and Cupid’s Choice doughnuts are set to return nationwide starting this Wednesday — and we’ve been told that they’re two of the brand’s most-requested seasonal treats. 

You already know the drill: The Brownie Batter doughnut is an indulgent, heart-shaped dessert filled with chocolatey buttercream and topped with a layer of icing and Valentine’s sprinkles. Cupid’s Choice, on the other hand, arrives with a thick Bavarian Cream filling and strawberry-flavored icing. You can wash them both down with the rich Iced Lava Cake Signature Latte, a whipped cream-topped coffee with generous pumps of thick mocha syrup that launched in December. 

Otherwise, Dunkin is shifting its entire doughnuts lineup into Valentine’s Day mode with coordinating sprinkles and seasonally-appropriate shapes. Classic doughnuts and Munchkins alike will be topped with pink, white, and red heart sprinkles, while Dunkin’s doughnuts with cream fillings (like Boston Kreme) will arrive heart-shaped this month. Sweet.

This Valentine’s Day rollout isn’t without its own heartbreak, though. Notably missing from the seasonal lineup is the beloved Pink Velvet Macchiato, a vivid espresso-based coffee that marked the return previously accompanied Valentine’s Day menu. Its 2023 absence reportedly sparked a “flood of DMs, fan mail, petitions, and heartfelt pleas” for its return last year, but there’s no word on the fan-favorite latte’s status this season. (We couldn’t rule out the brand’s mischievous social media mascot, Spider Donut, as the culprit behind this missing treat.) 

Can’t hit the Dunkin’ drive-thru but still want to join the Valentine’s fun? You can now browse the brand’s new Valentine’s Day tumblers and seasonal merch on the Dunkin’ website. As a special twist this year, Dunkin’ teamed up with New York artist Corey Paige Designs to deliver a colorful array of drinkware, clothing, totes, and a heart-shaped handbag. The capsule collection goes live at 9 a.m. ET on Wednesday, but we’ve got a feeling that it won’t be available for long. 

Bottom line? We can’t promise that a dozen heart-shaped Brownie Batter donuts can make up for dropping the ball on Valentine’s Day last year, but it’s still worth a shot.
