Some people are finding that Dunkin’s frozen coffee has been completely removed from the Dunkin app

The Reddit user says after emailing the coffee chain to inquire about the lack of product, he was told, “the product is not one of our standard retail products.” The agent who responded also noted that most of the Dunkin’ locations are independently owned and are able to decide whether they want to sell frozen coffee or keep it off their menu.

So, the next time you find yourself unable to get your hands on a Dunkin’ frozen coffee, you may be able to blame supply chain shortages or your local establishment’s decision to remove it from their menu.
