Dunkin’s New Italian-Inspired Treat Is a Match Made in Coffee & Ice Cream Heaven

What exactly is the new affogato at Dunkin‘? The drink-meets-dessert, which is available now at Dunkin’ and Baskin-Robbins combo stores nationwide, marries two of your faves—coffee and ice cream!

This traditional Italian dessert has made its way around the globe and settled in your local Dunkin’ Baskin-Robbins store. And sorry bambinos—this ice cream treat is for mom or dad only.

The word “affogato” comes from the Italian meaning “to drown.” And that’s exactly what this delish dessert does. It’s a scoop of Baskin-Robbins’ French Vanilla Ice Cream drowned in Dunkin’s own piping hot and uber-caffeinated espresso. So if you’re looking for a creamy, sweet and downright delizioso caffeine fix, here you go!

Get this new menu item at your local Dunkin’ Baskin-Robbins store for $3.49. If you’re into trying before buying, make sure to stop by your local store on Monday, Mar. 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. local time for a free sample.
