Key takeaways

  • For those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, dining out can be difficult, so it is helpful to research menus beforehand.
  • While Dunkin’ Donuts doesn’t offer gluten-free donuts or breakfast sandwiches, they do have some gluten-free food and drink options like hash browns, snackin’ bacon, coffee, and refreshers.
  • When ordering at Dunkin’ Donuts, inform the staff of your gluten-free needs to minimize the risk of cross-contamination, and consider ordering ahead using the app to reduce stress.

Whether you avoid gluten because of a gluten-related disorder, such as celiac disease, or because of a dietary preference, it’s helpful to do a little research before dining out. You may be wondering what gluten-free foods and drinks are available at Dunkin’ Donuts.

Gluten is a protein found in some grains, including wheat, rye, barley, farro, and spelt. It’s common in baked goods like bread, doughnuts, muffins, and pastries.

Cross contamination may occur during food production and preparation, so foods that you think are gluten-free may not be. To be on the safe side, it’s always a good idea to let the person taking your order know that you follow a gluten-free diet.

None of the doughnuts or breakfast sandwiches at Dunkin’ Donuts are gluten-free. There’s also no indication that Dunkin’ Donuts has plans to offer gluten-free bread options at any time in the future.

The gluten-free menu at Dunkin’ Donuts is pretty limited, but there are some food and drink options that are gluten-free.

Dunkin’ Donuts has nutrition and allergen information available on its website as well, but this guide will give you a great starting place when you don’t have time to scroll through all that information.

An important note

At any restaurant, there’s always a risk of cross contamination. If you have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, let your server know about your condition and ask about measures that are in place to specifically prevent gluten cross contamination.

Because Dunkin’ Donuts prepares many items that contain gluten, it advises that “any of our products may contain, or may have come in contact with, allergens including eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.”

1. Hash browns

Hash browns are made from potatoes, which are a gluten-free starchy vegetable, but you’ll always want to check to see if anything else is added. The hash browns at Dunkin’ also contain vegetable oils and a few other ingredients but do not have gluten.

Inform the person taking your order that you follow a gluten-free diet. If you have any other dietary preferences, be sure to include those as well, so they are aware.

Order ahead on the app. You can skip the stress of explaining your concerns in person by using the Dunkin’ Donuts app. Additionally, you can save orders to repeat at your favorite Dunkin’ location, saving you time.

Eating out with dietary restrictions can be tough. But it’s doable, especially if you can communicate your needs to your server and know which items fit your needs ahead of time.

Dunkin’ Donuts may not be the best choice for a meal if you follow a gluten-free diet — since there are limited food options and you won’t be able to order a doughnut — but it’s possible to have some items from the menu by using the tips provided and talking with your server.
