When Dunkin’ Donuts introduced its Avocado Toast in early 2021, some skeptics were quick to roll their eyes. Avocado toast, at a donut shop? But it didn’t take long for this simple item to become one of Dunkin’s most talked-about menu additions. Affordable, trendy, and surprisingly tasty, Dunkin’s version of the beloved brunch staple has managed to blend fast-food convenience with café-style vibes, and it’s winning over fans every day.
The formula is simple: a thick slice of sourdough toast topped with a creamy avocado spread, finished with a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning. That’s it. No poached egg. No microgreens. No frills. But that’s also the charm. It’s straightforward, satisfying, and ready in minutes, ideal for commuters, multitaskers, or anyone who wants to feel a little healthier without sacrificing speed or flavor.
What makes it work so well? First, the bread. Dunkin’s sourdough slice is hearty and toasted to golden crispness, providing the perfect contrast to the soft avocado spread. Then there’s the avocado itself, smooth, seasoned with lemon juice, salt, and pepper, balanced enough to please most palates. And the everything bagel seasoning? It’s the kicker that adds a punch of garlic, onion, sesame, and poppy seed crunch.
Nutritionally, it’s respectable too – around 240 calories, with healthy fats and fiber. It’s plant-based, portable, and served all day, making it a flexible option for breakfast, lunch, or even a mid-afternoon snack.
Sure, it’s not the chunky, handmade avocado toast you’d get at a hip brunch spot. But that’s not the point. Dunkin’s Avocado Toast isn’t trying to be fancy. It’s offering a quick, tasty, and slightly upscale option in a drive-thru bag, and for many, that’s more than enough.
In a world where fast food rarely feels fresh or modern, Dunkin’s Avocado Toast manages to be both. It’s proof that even in the grab-and-go lane, there’s room for a little green goodness.

This avocado toast is bomb! So easy and delicious. I added some chili flakes for a kick! Highly recommend!
Tried this for breakfast and it was sooo good! The everything bagel seasoning made all the difference. Will be making it again!
I don’t get the hype around avocado toast. It’s just smashed avocado on bread? I’m skeptical this is worth it.
People love it because it’s trendy, but honestly it just tastes okay. Not worth all the fuss, I agree with you.
Avocado toast is more than just smashed avocado! It’s about the flavors and the healthy fats. You should try it before judging!
My toast got soggy after a few minutes. Maybe I shouldn’t have put too much avocado? IDK, still tasted okay.
I dunno, my toast never gets soggy. Maybe try a different bread or not too much avocado? Just a thought.
Soggy toast is the worst! Maybe just a lighter layer of avocado next time? But glad it still tasted good!
Yum! This is super simple and looks fancy! Even my picky husband liked it! 🥑🍞
Its ok I guess… but where is the bacon? Needs more flavor, avocado by itself is kinda bland!
Never tried avocado before but wow this made me fall in love. I reckon it’s a healthier breakfast. Thanks for sharing!
Avocado is life! Totally agree, it’s so good for breakfast. Glad you liked it! 🥑
