Dunkin' Ends Non-Dairy Milk Upcharge Nationwide
Starting March 5, customers can add plant-based milk alternatives to their beverages at no extra cost, aligning with industry trends and guest feedback.
- Dunkin' will eliminate the surcharge for non-dairy milk options, such as almond, oat, soy, and coconut milk, starting March 5, 2025.
- The decision, guided by guest feedback, aims to enhance beverage customization and provide better value for customers.
- This change follows similar moves by competitors, including Starbucks, Dutch Bros, Tim Hortons, and Panera Bread, who have removed non-dairy milk fees in recent months.
- The policy shift impacts all Dunkin' locations nationwide, benefiting customers who choose non-dairy options for dietary, health, or sustainability reasons.
- The change comes after a dismissed class action lawsuit alleging discrimination against lactose-intolerant customers, though Dunkin' denies the lawsuit influenced its decision.
