Trying Dunkin's NEW Oreo Cloud Latte !
Okay, fellow coffee lovers, you know I can't resist a new drink, especially when it's from Dunkin' and involves one of my favorite cookies! So, of course, I had to try the much-talked-about Oreo Cloud Latte. I've been seeing it all over my feed, and the idea of an Oreo-infused, cloud-like coffee drink sounded like pure bliss. But let's be real, with 'Oreo' in the name, one of the first things that popped into my head was, 'How sweet is this going to be?' and 'What about the sugar content?' So, I grabbed one to give you my honest take, especially if you're like me and curious about the sugar factor! First off, let's talk about the look. It's definitely Instagram-worthy! That signature light, airy ‘cloud’ foam on top, often with a drizzle or cookie crumbs (depending on how your barista makes it), is super appealing. The aroma was exactly what I hoped for: a sweet, chocolatey, coffee-shop smell that instantly brightened my morning. Take that first sip, and BAM! You get a lovely blend of rich espresso, creamy milk, and that unmistakable Oreo flavor. The 'cloud' foam really does add a unique texture – it’s fluffy and light, making each sip feel a bit luxurious. Now, for the big question that many of you, including myself, are asking: the sugar! Is Dunkin's Oreo Cloud Latte too sweet? For me, someone who enjoys a moderately sweet drink, I found it quite sweet. It definitely lives up to the Oreo name in terms of sweetness. While Dunkin' doesn't always list exact sugar content on every promotional item right away, based on similar specialty lattes they've released, you can expect a significant amount of added sugar. A medium-sized flavored latte from Dunkin' can often hover around 40-50 grams of sugar, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Oreo Cloud Latte is in that ballpark, if not a bit higher due to the Oreo swirl elements. It’s definitely a treat rather than an everyday go-to if you're watching your sugar intake. If you're worried about the sweetness but still want to try it, I have a few tips! You could ask for fewer pumps of the Oreo swirl syrup – maybe half the standard amount. Another trick is to ask for it with unsweetened almond milk or oat milk, which can sometimes cut through the sweetness a little, or at least not add more. You can also try ordering it as an iced latte with just a shot of espresso and adding your own dash of Oreo syrup if you happen to have any at home, or even just asking for a plain latte and adding a crumbled Oreo yourself! That way, you have more control over the sugar. Overall, I'd say the Oreo Cloud Latte is a fun, indulgent treat. It's perfect for when you're craving something sweet and chocolatey, and want to experience that unique cloud foam texture. It’s a definite must-try for any Oreo fan or anyone who loves a dessert-like coffee. Just be prepared for the sweetness, and don't hesitate to customize it to your liking! Happy sipping!
