Dunkin’ rolls out fall menu
To the poet Keats, autumn is the “Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness!’’ But to Dunkin’ Donuts, autumn is the season of pumpkin lattes and caramel apple sinkers.
The Canton-based coffee-and-baked goods chain said today it is welcoming its “autumn array’’ of seasonal items to its menu. Pumpkin-flavored coffee and pumpkin Munchkins are among items featured. Then there’s the caramel apple donut, described as an old fashioned flavored cake donut coated with cinnamon sugar. Apple cider is also available, either hot or cold.
A Dunkin’ press release included a statement from Stan Frankenthaler, the executive chef at the chain’s parent company, Dunkin’ Brands.
“Autumn is a nostalgic time of year, as cooler temperatures and changing leaves evoke fond memories of family and the beloved scent and taste of seasonal flavors such as pumpkin and apple,’’ Frankenthaler said. “Many of our guests anxiously await the return of our fall flavors so they can enjoy the traditional, comforting tastes of the season any time during their busy day, and we enjoy helping people celebrate this time of year by bringing back fan favorites such as pumpkin coffee and muffins, as well as introducing new seasonal treats like the Caramel Apple Donut.’’
