MENU items come and go, but Dunkin’ loyalists still haven't recovered after saying goodbye to a few axed favorites.
Over the years, fans have had to part with limited edition treats and drinks as the company typically introduces new items with each season.
This includes pumpkin beverages and treats or refreshers in the warmers months.
While some are nice for the time being, customers take notice when the items don't return the following year.
Dunkin' customers have gotten attached to items like the Pretzel Roll Roast Beef Sandwich, Sweet & Salted Cold Brew coffee, Pistachio ice cream iced coffee, and more - only to say sayonara.
Below, we've outlined some of the most missed food items from the donut chain.

1. BAGEL TWIST
Back in 2010, the donut chain cooked up a new way to bagel - the Bagel Twist.
Dunkin’ described it as “an innovative new twist on the beloved bakery item” and was designed to make eating the everyday bagel easier when you're on the go.
The treat was offered in a few different flavors including Cheddar Cheese, Cinnamon Raisin, Sour Cream and Onion, Pretzel Salt, Blueberry, and French Toast.
As it was a new addition to its spring menu, the item was likely to only stay for a limited time, crushing bagel eaters all over.

Fans actually saw the return of the White Cheddar Bagel Twist in 2016, but only for a short time.
2. BEYOND MEAT BREAKFAST SANDWICH
The Beyond Meat Breakfast Sandwich was launched in New York City and was a great alternative for vegetarians.
Dunkin’ partnered with Beyond Meat for its sandwich that came with the Beyond Breakfast Sausage patty served on an English muffin with egg and American cheese.
However, after a shortage of sales, the sandwich was axed in 2021.
3. CROISSANT DONUT
The popular Croissant Donut was introduced in 2014 during the “cronut” craze and sold over 8.5million just in the first three months, according to Dunkin.’
The high number could have been partly due to its promotion - anyone who registered for DD Perks was eligible to score a year’s supply of donuts.
The new item featured a delicate and flaky croissant ring that is glazed like a donut.
Because its great success, the company decided to make a few different flavors: the Boston Kreme Croissant Donut and a Croissant Donut filled with Bavarian Kreme and drizzled with chocolate icing.
Each was available at participating restaurants throughout Monmouth and Ocean County, New Jersey.
Then in 2015, the Croissant Donut became a permanent item only to be taken off menus to the pain of many.
One Twitter user wrote: “They discontinued the Boston Creme Croissant Donut at Dunkin' Donuts so basically my life is over.”
4. BIG N' TOASTED BREAKFAST SANDWICH
Back in 2011, Dunkin’ introduced its Big N' Toasted Breakfast Sandwich to give customers its biggest breakfast sandwich ever.
The sandwich came with two peppered fried eggs, four slices of cherrywood smoked bacon, and a slice of American cheese all between two thick slices of Texas Toast.
Two years later, the company decided to add its Angus Steak Big N’ Toasted breakfast sandwich which came with two eggs, juicy Angus steak, and a slice of American cheese, packed between two thick slices of Texas Toast.
Shortly after, fans noticed that the sandwiches were gone from menus for good.
5. CORNBREAD DONUT
The Cornbread Donut was part of its summer menu last year and came with six other new or returning items.
The new donut had a sweet and savory corn-cake base glazed for a “sweet and savory bite,” Dunkin’ said.
Plus, Dunkin’ added a smaller version also the Munchkins Donut Hole Treats.
While it was part of a limited menu, fans got attached quickly.
When it left, one Twitter user wrote: “Dunkin Donuts been dead to me since discontinuing the cornbread donut.”
