If you’re into coffee concoctions and tea-based drinks, but not so much into the caffeine that comes with them – the good news is that you can typically find a good amount of decaf options at today’s popular coffee shops and major chains.
If you’re looking for decaffeinated drinks at Dunkin’, you’ve got several options on the menu. So which drinks have caffeine and which don’t? What comes in decaf for a no-buzz treat?
To make it easy, we’re rounding up everything in one place: below you’ll find every beverage on the current Dunkin’ Donuts menu that either doesn’t contain any caffeine to begin with, or can be ordered as decaf.
Decaffeinated drinks at Dunkin’
There are two categories when it comes to decaffeinated beverages, at Dunkin’ and pretty much anywhere else you go for a coffee. The first is drinks on the menu that happen to be caffeine-free, whether it’s herbal tea that doesn’t contain caffeine or something like hot chocolate that’s typically made without any espresso or coffee.
The other category is coffee, espresso, or tea-based beverages that can be ordered in decaf. Dunkin’ doesn’t offer a decaf version of every drink on the menu – for example, you won’t find a Decaf Chai Latte or a Decaf Cold Brew. However, pretty much any drink that’s made with espresso can be made with decaf espresso to make the drink decaffeinated, from americanos to macchiatos.
Aside from the decaf versions of these popular coffee beverages, Dunkin’ also offers their original blend coffee in decaf, as well as a decaf black breakfast tea.
A couple of notes to call out: while Dunkin’ doesn’t technically have a decaf iced tea on the menu, it’s usually possible to order any decaffeinated hot tea and ask for it over ice. And you’ll notice the Frozen Chocolate beverage below has an asterisk – while it’s not made with any coffee or espresso, it does contain a very small amount of caffeine (around 6mg for a medium size drink).
One more thing to keep in mind is that decaf doesn’t necessarily mean completely caffeine-free, so the decaf coffee at Dunkin’ will still contain a low level of caffeine (around 10mg for a medium cup).
If you’re looking for something to sip on without the caffeine, below is the complete list of all your options at Dunkin’ – both drinks that are naturally caffeine-free and those that can be ordered as decaffeinated – based on the current menu.

Dunkin’ currently offers four different types of decaf or caffeine-free teas. They have a decaf black breakfast tea, as well as three varieties of herbal tea that come with no caffeine: Chamomile Fields, Hibiscus Kiss, and Cool Mint. All of these decaf tea options are for hot tea orders; however you can ask your local Dunkin’ employee to put it over ice.
No, Dunkin’ does not offer a decaffeinated version of their cold brew. Decaf cold brew is rare because of the way cold brew is made. It typically has a higher amount of caffeine than hot or iced coffee. At Dunkin’, a medium cold brew contains 260mg of caffeine.
Technically, no – Dunkin’s decaf original blend coffee does contain small amounts of caffeine. Although 97% of its caffeine has been removed, that leaves about 7mg of caffeine per 8-ounce cup of decaf coffee.
