I Tried Two of Dunkin’s New Banana Drinks — And I Have a Definite Favorite

Lately, my coffee orders have turned into cold foam experiments. If a drink has a new foam flavor, I’m trying it. Cookie butter, sweet cream, brown sugar — at this point I’m basically a cold foam expert.

So when Dunkin’ released its spring 2026 menu, which includes a banana-flavored cold foam, I knew I needed to try it (especially after how much I loved the Starbucks Banana Bread Matcha).

Dunkin’s spring 2026 lineup includes three drinks that feature a new banana-flavored syrup, and two of them are topped with a new banana cold foam. They dropped on March 4, and I tried the two new sips that really intrigued me.

• The Banana Puddin’ Cloud Latte: An iced espresso drink with banana and vanilla custard flavors topped with banana cold foam
• The Bananarama Iced Matcha: A sweetened matcha blended with milk and banana-vanilla custard flavors

I didn’t try the Banana Daydream Refresher, which is your choice of one of three refresher flavors — Strawberry Dragonfruit, Mango Pineapple, or Berry Acai — blended with oatmilk and topped with Banana Cold Foam. But after loving the two new banana drinks I tried, I’d definitely be open to trying this one, too.

This was easily the best drink of the lineup. The espresso balances the sweetness, while the banana cold foam adds a creamy layer on top — it tastes so similar to a banana Laffy Taffy! When I drink the latte with all the components in one sip, it really does taste like banana pudding, but the coffee keeps it from feeling overly sugary. The banana flavor comes through clearly and doesn’t taste overly artificial, and the vanilla custard notes make it feel like a dessert-style latte. It smelled very sweet, and very banana-y — sort of like banana cream pie. I would absolutely order this again! 

If you’re someone who loves a strong matcha taste, you might feel like it gets lost in the banana flavor here. This drink doesn’t have banana cold foam, but the syrup makes this iced matcha latte taste almost exactly like a banana Laffy Taffy, even more than the Banana Puddin’ Cloud Latte. It was like a trip back to my childhood and a fun sweet treat — I actually loved it! It’s also pretty different from the Banana Bread Matcha I had at Starbucks — that one was more muted and toasty, like a warm bakery item, and this one screams candy. It didn’t have a strong scent, which surprised me because matchas usually do, but I got hints of that typical grassy fragrance.

If you try anything from Dunkin’s spring menu, get the Banana Puddin’ Cloud Latte. It’s the drink that feels the most different from the usual Dunkin’ lineup, and the banana cold foam really does make it taste like a coffee version of banana pudding. 

If Dunkin’ keeps releasing new cold foam flavors like this banana version, I’ll definitely keep trying them. At this point, it’s basically become a habit I don’t want to break.
