Dunkin’s $6 value meal is back. I tried it, and a full breakfast cost half the usual price.

There are around 170 Dunkin’ locations in Manhattan alone. I visited a location on the Upper East Side, close to my apartment.

I mobile-ordered my meal on the Dunkin’ app since my local Dunkin’ can be a zoo in the morning.

I chose an iced coffee, and I added pumps of the hazelnut and pumpkin syrups to make my own version of the Nutty Pumpkin coffee, which Dunkin’ added to its fall menu in 2022.

In terms of hot options, you could either choose the original roast or Dunkin’ Midnight, which is Dunkin’s darker roast.

As part of the value meal, this medium-sized drink cost $2.17. Normally, it’d be $4.65.

The default bread for this sandwich is a plain bagel, but you can opt for another bagel (multigrain, sesame seed, cinnamon raisin, or everything), sourdough bread, a croissant, or an English muffin. I chose a croissant.

The default cheese is American, though you can opt for white cheddar. I stuck with American cheese.

The egg is fried — that’s the only option.

Outside the meal deal, this would cost $6.45, but it only cost me $2.82.

I’ve had these before, so I knew it would be good. The croissant was perfectly flaky, the cheese was melted, and the bacon was crispy.

Is it the best egg sandwich I’ve ever had? No, but for less than $3, I was pleased.

The hash browns normally cost $2.75, but as part of the deal, they were just $1.01.

These hash browns were addictive. They were salty, crispy, and subtly seasoned. My only complaint is that I wish there were more of them — my order came with five.

I can see why Dunkin’ is adding a value meal — chains like McDonald’s, Burger King, and Wendy’s all have them already. But I like how this is a breakfast-focused meal deal.

And at half the cost of the normal items, I don’t know why any Dunkin’ fan wouldn’t eat this meal up. I’m not surprised it’s back — and I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes a permanent addition to the menu.
