Are Dunkin Bagels Vegan?

This is probably the question we get asked most often here at VeggL. Here is all the information we have regarding the bagels at Dunkin.

The bagels at Dunkin contain Dough Conditioners, which according to their Allergen Menu, are made from Malted Barley, Flour, and Enzymes. When many of us see Dough Conditioners, we think of L-Cysteine and we get concerned that the product is not vegan.

However, Dunkin put out their own press release a couple of years ago regarding their vegan menu items. They list their Cinnamon Raisin, Plain, Everything and Sesame bagels on this release.

They also state on this release what they consider vegan:

*Dunkin’s definition of a vegan menu item is a food or beverage whose formula contains no animal sources: no meat, fish, shellfish, milk, egg or honey products, and no enzymes and rennet from animal sources. All of Dunkin’s menu items (vegan and non-vegan) are prepared in the same area. Dunkin’ cannot guarantee that there will be no cross-contact between products or ingredients.

We list Dunkin’s bagels as vegan because they specifically tell us they are.

Does Dunkin’s Mocha Flavored Swirl Syrup contain dairy?

No! It is the ONLY swirl syrup, currently, that does NOT contain dairy.

Is Dunkin’s Hot Chocolate vegan?

No. Dunkin uses a premixed powder for their hot chocolate and it contains dairy. This also goes for the Frozen Chocolate.

Does Dunkin’ have vegan Chai?

Yes! If your order a Chai Latte, hot or iced with your choice of non-dairy milk, this is vegan.

The Chai is just a syrup called, Chai Tea Syrup. However, the drink called “Vanilla Spice” is made with a vanilla chai flavored powder. This powder does contain dairy.

Does Dunkin Donuts have vegan donuts?

No. Unfortunately, Dunkin Donuts does not currently offer any vegan donut options.

However, hope may be on the horizon. According to a report from Livekindly , Dunkin CEO David Hoffmann recently made an announcement when asked about the possibility of a vegan donut.

He told a room full of shareholders that, “As it relates to a vegan donut, we continue to investigate a viable vegan donut option. We are looking at it closely.”

Are Dunkin Donuts muffins vegan?

Only if you count the English Muffin as a muffin. That’s the only muffin that’s vegan.

Did Dunkin’ discontinue Beyond Sausage?

Yes, we have confirmed that Dunkin’ has discontinued Beyond Sausage in June 2021; however, we are not sure why. You can call to share feedback if you are wanting them to bring it back. 1-800-447-0013

What Brand of Oat Milk Does Dunkin’ Use?

Dunkin’ serves Planet Oat Oat Milk at their US locations.

Does Dunkin Have Hummus Toast?

Not anymore. In the spring of 2022, Dunkin debuted Roasted Tomato & Hummus Toast. You could also order it as plain Hummus Toast without the tomatoes. It was delicious! I liked it better than the Avocado Toast.

In the early 2022 fall, I was told it was being discontinued in some locations. And now, it is no longer on the menu anywhere.

In April of 2021, Dunkin’ brought coconut milk in as a dairy-free milk option. As of late December 2023, they have chosen to remove it.

Is Dunkin’s Cocoa Mocha Vegan?

No. As-is, Dunkin’s Cocoa Mocha contains dairy. Could you modify it? Sure, you can. But all you are left with is a Latte with your choice of non-dairy milk and mocha syrup. It probably would make sense to just order that rather than doing all of the substitutions.

What Vegan Syrups Did Dunkin’ Offer for the 2024 Holiday Season?

Dunkin’ offered a vegan-friendly Brown Sugar Cookie Syrup, Peppermint Mocha Swirl Syrup and Churro Swirl Syrup for the 2024 holidays.

Our Picks

Ryan’s Pick: My normal go-to is a bit boring. Large Hot Coffee with oat milk and a toasted Cinnamon Raisin bagel plain. The Beyond Sandwich is good, but I don’t get it nearly as often as I thought I would when it came out.

Occasionally, I’ll splurge on a hot afternoon and grab a Large Iced Coffee with Oat Milk and a Mocha Swirl. I don’t do all the crazy sweet frozen coffees, so for me, that’s dessert in the form of an Iced Coffee. So good.

Jen’s Pick: I am a big fan of Dunkin’s Hashbrowns and Avocado Toast with Roasted Tomatoes but my usual go-to is an Iced Latté with Oat Milk and Sugar-Free Vanilla syrup, if it’s available… or lately, I’ve been going with a black iced coffee.
