The Dunkin’ pumpkin spice latte (officially the Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte) costs about $4.49 for a Small, $5.19 for a Medium and $5.99 for a Large in 2026, and a Medium has 420 calories. It returned on August 19, 2026 as a limited-time fall drink, and Dunkin’ has not announced an end date. Prices are typical US prices and vary by location, because Dunkin’ restaurants are franchised and set their own prices.

Dunkin’ Donuts Pumpkin Spice Latte Price by Size (2026)

The Dunkin’ Donuts pumpkin spice latte price is typically $4.49 for a Small, $5.19 for a Medium and $5.99 for a Large, one of the pricier espresso drinks on the Dunkin’ menu with prices. That is $0.50 to $1.00 more than a plain Dunkin’ latte of the same size. The table lists one typical price for hot and iced, though one price list shows iced Small and Medium cups $0.20 higher.

Local prices swing more than the typical figures suggest: reported Medium prices run $4.49–$5.89, and buyers reported paying $5.49 and $5.89 (the second in Los Angeles) in September 2026. Dunkin’ publishes no national price list because franchise owners set their own menus. Check the Dunkin’ app for your store’s exact price before you order.

Dunkin’ Donuts Pumpkin Spice Latte Calories, Sugar and Caffeine

A Medium Dunkin’ pumpkin spice latte has 420 calories and 55 grams of sugar, and the iced version lists the same numbers. A Small has 310 calories and a Large 540, with 38 and 71 grams of sugar. The Medium carries 250 more calories than a plain Medium latte, so it is closer to a dessert than to an everyday coffee.

These figures come from Dunkin’s official nutrition guide dated September 21, 2026, for the standard build with whipped light cream, caramel drizzle and cinnamon sugar. Dunkin’s product page shows 300 calories for the default size, slightly below the guide’s 310 for a Small. Caffeine is the one number Dunkin’ leaves out, so the caffeine column is an estimate.

How Much Caffeine Is in a Pumpkin Spice Latte?

Dunkin’ does not publish caffeine for Signature Lattes. If the espresso matches a plain latte (118, 166 and 252 mg by size), and pumpkin swirl adds none, a Medium has roughly 166 mg, about 42% of the 400 mg daily amount the FDA cites for healthy adults. Treat it as an estimate, not an official figure.

How Much Sugar Is Hiding in the Cup?

Dunkin’ lists 36 grams of added sugar in a Medium, which is 72% of the 50-gram FDA Daily Value for added sugars. A Small uses 50% of that allowance and a Large 94%. The remaining 19 grams in a Medium are naturally occurring sugar, mostly from the milk. Our healthiest Dunkin’ drinks list shows lower-sugar orders.

Dunkin’ Donuts Pumpkin Spice Latte Ingredients and How It’s Made

Dunkin’ lists seven components: milk, pumpkin swirl, espresso, whipped light cream, caramel swirl drizzle, vanilla flavor and cinnamon sugar. The pumpkin swirl is a sweetened syrup, and the toppings come built in because this is a Signature Latte. The iced version uses the same recipe over ice, and its official calories match the hot cup.

The pumpkin swirl’s first ingredient is sweetened condensed nonfat milk, so the swirl itself contains dairy. Standard builds use 2, 3 and 4 pumps by size, according to a 2024 Tasting Table report. Our Signature Latte guide compares this build with other topped lattes, and the Dunkin’ fall menu lists the rest of the pumpkin lineup.

The Build, Layer by Layer

1. Espresso: the base of every Dunkin’ latte; Dunkin’ does not publish the shot count.
2. Milk: dairy milk by default; oat or almond cost no extra but leave dairy in the swirl and whip.
3. Pumpkin swirl and vanilla flavor: about 45 calories per pump of swirl (an unofficial 2024 figure).
4. Toppings: whipped light cream, caramel swirl drizzle and cinnamon sugar.

Dairy, Allergen and Diet Notes

Milk is in the swirl and the whipped light cream as well as the cup, so no milk swap makes this latte dairy-free, and Dunkin’s guide lists tree nuts for almondmilk drinks. Dunkin’ publishes an official allergen guide, and shared equipment means cross-contact is possible, so read our Dunkin’ allergen guide and tell the crew about any allergy.

When Is the Dunkin’ Pumpkin Spice Latte Available in 2026?

The Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte returned nationwide on August 19, 2026 with Dunkin’s fall menu, hot or iced. Dunkin’ gave no end date and calls the pumpkin lineup limited-time, so stores can run out at different times. On October 12, 2026, the official online menu still listed the Pumpkin Patch collection that includes this latte.

The free Medium offered on September 8, 2026 (2 to 6 PM, with a qualifying purchase) has ended. Dunkin’ announced an Avengers: Doomsday menu for November 4, 2026 without saying the pumpkin drinks would end, and as of October 13 it had not announced a 2026 holiday menu. Past holiday menus arrived in early November, so check the seasonal menu tracker and the app.

Pumpkin Spice Latte vs Adding Pumpkin Swirl to Coffee

The pumpkin spice latte is a finished Signature Latte, while pumpkin swirl is the sweetened syrup inside it. For fall 2026, Dunkin’ lets you add the swirl to any hot or iced coffee, Cold Brew or espresso drink. That makes a plain coffee with pumpkin swirl the cheapest way to get the flavor.

A Medium hot coffee with three pumps costs about $2.80–$3.79, based on French Vanilla swirl coffee prices because Dunkin’ lists no pumpkin-specific price. That is roughly $1.40 to $2.39 less than the latte, for about 140–165 calories instead of 420. Dunkin’s own Nutty Pumpkin Coffee adds light cream and hazelnut for 260 calories in a Medium, and our Dunkin’ hot coffee prices and iced coffee price guide list base prices.

Customizations and Best Ways to Order a Dunkin’ Pumpkin Spice Latte

Every part of the pumpkin spice latte can be changed, from the milk to the toppings. The 3 pumps in a Medium can go up or down, and an extra pump usually costs $0.10 to $0.25. Oat and almond milk have cost nothing extra since March 5, 2025, while Protein Milk adds about $1.00 to $2.00 in the app.

The biggest calorie cuts come from dropping the whipped cream and drizzle and switching to skim milk. Dunkin’s limited-time $6 Meal Deal includes a medium hot or iced coffee but excludes espresso drinks, so the latte cannot be swapped in; the Dunkin’ coupons and deals page lists current offers. Our Dunkin’ flavor shots and swirls guide and Dunkin’ cold foam guide explain the other add-ons.

Best Value: Which Pumpkin Spice Latte Size and Order to Buy

The Large is the best value at about 29.9¢ per fluid ounce hot and 18.7¢ iced, against 44.9¢ and 28.1¢ for a Small. Each step up adds only $0.70 to $0.80, while the hot cup grows by 4 to 6 ounces. A Small costs about 50% more per ounce than a Large.

Calories per ounce barely change with size, from 31 in the Small to 27 in the Large, so a bigger cup mostly buys more sugar. A Large carries 540 calories and 47 grams of added sugar, close to the full daily value. If the drink is a dessert, the Small is the easier size to justify, and our Dunkin’ cup sizes chart shows the ounces behind every size name.

A Realistic Fall Order, Priced

A Medium latte with the Dunkin’ pumpkin donut costs about $6.68–$7.08 and adds up to 800 calories, 40% of a 2,000-calorie day. Swapping the latte for a Medium hot coffee with pumpkin swirl cuts the total to about $4.29–$5.68 and roughly 520–545 calories.

Dunkin’ Pumpkin Spice Latte vs Other Dunkin’ Lattes

Next to the rest of the Dunkin’ coffee and espresso menu, the pumpkin spice latte has more calories than the year-round swirl lattes, which run 330 to 340 in a Medium, and it costs $0.70 more than a plain Medium latte. Among the fall pumpkin drinks it ties the Pumpkin Patch Cloud Latte at 420 calories. The Pumpkin Cloud Dunkalatte is far heavier at 550 calories and 91 grams of sugar.

A plain latte or Dunkin’ cappuccino is the lighter way to get espresso, at 170 and 120 calories in a Medium. Caffeine stays at 166 mg across the standard lattes, while the Dunkin’ macchiato carries 284 mg. Our caramel swirl latte, mocha swirl latte and Dunkin’ iced latte pages cover the other options.

How to Order a Pumpkin Spice Latte at Dunkin’

Ask for the Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte by name and say hot or iced first, then the size, milk and any topping changes. Hot cups hold 10, 14 and 20 ounces, while iced cups hold 16, 24 and 32 ounces including ice. Dunkin’ lists the same calories for both versions, so the larger iced cup adds no calories.

The Dunkin’ app shows your local price before you pay and lets you order ahead for pickup. The September 8 free latte could be claimed in the app or in store, so app offers are worth watching, and the Dunkin’ Rewards guide explains how the program works. The same order works at the counter, and our Dunkin’ drive-thru guide covers the drive-thru route.

1. Open the app and confirm the latte is listed for your store.
2. Pick hot or iced, then the size.
3. Choose your milk: oat and almond cost no extra, while Protein Milk is an upcharge.
4. Skip the whip or drizzle, change the pump count, or add Sweet Cold Foam to an iced cup.

Final Verdict: Is the Dunkin’ Pumpkin Spice Latte Worth It?

It is worth it as an occasional seasonal drink if you want a sweet, topped latte. For $5.19 a Medium delivers 420 calories and 36 grams of added sugar, 72% of the daily added-sugar value. As a daily order it is hard to justify on either price or sugar.

The smarter buys are a Medium with skim milk and no toppings if calories matter, or pumpkin swirl in hot coffee if price matters, which saves about $1.40–$2.39 a cup. A Starbucks grande Pumpkin Spice Latte runs about $6.45 for 16 ounces, with 390 calories (2% milk) and 150 mg of caffeine. The Dunkin’ vs Starbucks comparison covers the wider price gap between the two chains.
