Review: Dunkin's New Spring Drinks Are Absolutely Bananas (In A Good Way) - Tasting Table

"Since I am somewhat familiar with Dunkin's menu, I feel like I could have come up with these combinations on my own - that is to say, they aren't particularly inventive. I tried a banana bread iced latte from Dutch Bros and ranked it very high on a list of iced drinks from the brand, and also tried Starbucks' iced banana bread matcha."

"That said, banana has a strong flavor, like coconut, and it may be un-a-peeling to some. If that's you, don't bother trying any of Dunkin's new offerings. However, the flavors do work and I found them pleasant overall."

"For those seeking a more pure banana flavor, I'd suggest the Banana Puddin' Cloud; plus, it allows you to taste the espresso. Should you prefer something nuttier, then go with the Nutty Banana Cloud Dunkalatte, which boasts a stellar hazelnut profile."

Dunkin' introduced banana-flavored beverages featuring banana syrup and banana cold foam, including the Banana Puddin' Cloud Latte, Monkey Business Cloud Latte, and Nutty Banana Cloud Dunkalatte. These drinks share similar base elements with minor flavor variations. The reviewer, a banana drink enthusiast, tested all three and found them pleasant overall, though not particularly inventive compared to banana offerings from Dutch Bros and Starbucks. Banana's strong flavor profile may not appeal to all consumers. The Banana Puddin' Cloud provides a purer banana taste with visible espresso, while the Nutty Banana Cloud Dunkalatte offers a hazelnut-forward profile for those preferring nuttier flavors.
