7 Best Fast Food Coffee Beverages Of 2026

Whether you need a morning boost or an afternoon pick-me-up, there are plenty of quality brews to grab on the go at familiar chains. But when you want to kick it up a notch beyond your standard cup of joe, there are a surprising number of tasty options to try, too. From holiday lattes at your favorite quick service spot to frozen drinks, fast food joints can easily satisfy a sweet craving and caffeine buzz simultaneously.

While there are seasonal sips that have become staples (we're looking at you, pumpkin spice latte), 2026 has ushered in numerous new beverages that bring together the goodness of coffee with flavors like S'mores, tiramisu, and Dubai chocolate that have all become beloved, too. Our roundup includes the best from Dunkin', Starbucks, Dutch Bros., Krispy Kreme, and Chick-fil-A. And of course, there are also some new twists on the classic pumpkin spice flavored drinks that also made the list.

In 2026, Chick-fil-A made its frosted sodas a permanent menu item. Made by blending the popular chicken chain's signature Icedream with sodas, they're basically a dessert in a cup. However, in August, it introduced a coffee-based spin on the drinks with its S'mores Frosted Coffee. The soda is replaced with cold brew and then combined with Icedream, marshmallow-flavored syrup, graham cracker crumbs, and chocolate shortbread for a drinkable version of a classic S'more.

One Redditor was particularly enthusiastic about the new drink, saying, "The S'mores Frosted Coffee tastes excellent! The marshmallow flavor makes it really unique ... the chocolate shortbread and graham cracker crumbles that come in it are already [fire]." The only negative mentioned in the comments was the amount of sugar. Meanwhile, on Facebook, one reviewer also appreciated the S'mores-style aroma of the drink, while one viewer commented about how amazing it was. Bonus: If you're looking for something without the caffeine, you can get it in milkshake form, too. 

If you're a fan of classic tiramisu, you may already know Dunkin's fall menu featured some sippable versions of the dessert. There were multiple drinks to channel that vibe, including a Tiramisu Shakin' Espresso, Tiramisu Marshmallow Matcha, and a Tiramisu Protein Latte, but our pick is the Tiramisu Cloud Latte, which received rave reviews from Dunkin' devotees. One enthusiast on Facebook exclaimed, "I had it and it is AMAZING! My husband who isn't a big coffee drinker took a sip and said it was 'dangerously good,'" while another said, "It was so delicious, gotta try it."

Each latte highlighted a specific flavor of tiramisu with the cloud version made to look like the classic dessert. The drink's flavor profile was exactly what you'd expect: espresso meets vanilla, which then got topped with cold foam and a sprinkle of cocoa powder.

The Dubai chocolate trend took hold in 2023, but it was still going strong in 2026 when Starbucks released its Iced Dubai Chocolate Mocha. With espresso, milk, mocha sauce, and pistachio cold foam, topped with salted brown butter goodness, the drink intended to mirror the flavor profile of Dubai's viral knafeh-filled chocolate bar. Long before Starbucks introduced its Dubai chocolate lineup, fans were creating their own versions, inspiring the coffee purveyor to meet demand. And for those who want a different spin, a matcha version is available, too.

Summer of 2026 saw an addition of S'mores-inspired sips on the Starbucks menu, with a cold brew version, alongside chai and a frappucino. With marshmallow cold foam and a topping of graham crackers and chocolate, the S'mores Cold Brew reimagined the fireside treat in a drinkable form.

While a couple of Redditors found the drink a touch too sweet, others were enthusiastic about it, with one customer exclaiming, "I loved this! This is the drink that actually made me start ordering cold brews." Another one said, "The sweetness of the cold foam is perfect! The graham cracker on the top adds a beautiful crunch and the milk chocolate drizzle on the top is so pretty to look at!" The downside is it appears to be seasonal, but S'mores-loves may want to search it out when next summer rolls around.

Launched in February, this sweet concoction comes as a latte or in versions that incorporate protein. You can also get it as a cold brew or Freeze. The nostalgia-inspired coffee-based beverage was infused with brown butter chocolate chip sauce and crowned with the company's signature Soft Top (in brown butter chocolate chip flavor) and sprinkled with crunchy chocolate pieces.

Redditors were fans of the drink, and lamented its limited availability, with one saying, "Okay so this drink is the first drink I've ever bought from Dutch, and I'm literally so upset it's a seasonal drink." While the drink isn't available year-round, customers had a solution for duping it in the off-season. One suggested, "Try mixing chocolate mac, dark chocolate, white chocolate, and salted caramel. It tastes pretty similar."

One addition to the menu at Krispy Kreme in spring of 2026 was the Cookie Blast Latte. Whether you want a warm cookie dough-inspired beverage or something iced or frozen, this dominator in the doughnut market had you covered. Released alongside Hershey's Double Chocolate Doughnut and fruity Strawberries and Kreme Doughnut, this latte incorporated cookie dough flavored syrup with chocolate sauce and came with a topping of whipped cream and, of course, crumbled cookies. One reviewer on Instagram called it, "Insanely good ... like cookies and coffee had a baby ... it's pure dessert in a cup!" It's labeled as seasonal, so we don't know how long it will last.

Part of Dunkin's fall beverage lineup, espresso and coffee milk come together in this latte that's swirled with pumpkin and topped with Sweet Cold Foam and cinnamon sugar. It's a perfect pairing for the other autumnal offerings like pumpkin donuts and Munchkins. And if you want to kick it up a notch, try adding hazelnut for a nutty elevation.

One Redditor was so excited about this pumpkin-y concoction, they titled a thread, "The Pumpkin Cloud Dunkalatte is the best coffee I have ever had in my entire life." Another echoed the sentiments, stating, "Now THIS is one of the best drinks ever created."
