I can't find the nutrition information anywhere for a hazelnut large iced coffee with no cream and sugar. Definitely tastes sweetened. Any idea? Calories on the menu are extremely vague - 10 to 110 calories for a large iced coffee and 10 to 100 for flavors or something...

    Ask how much cream they add to the coffee? 1,2, or 3 creams. If the hazelnut coffee is just coffee , no calorie. If it is a hazelnut syrup then it has calorie if it is not sugar free. My coffee medium iced with sugar free vanilla syrup and 3 creams is 90 calories.

    I asked no cream and no sugar but it tastes sweetened for sure, lol.

    There was something on their website recently where they were showing you how to reduce the cals in some of their drinks, and they showed that if you took one drink (I don't remember which) that was well over 100 cals and instead got a medium iced coffee with skim milk and a flavor shot, it would be 40 cals. Which seems like just the skim.

    But based on my taste buds, their flavor shots are definitely sweetened! So what I do is if it tastes "sweet" I log one packet of sugar, and if I take a sip and go Wow that Sweet! I log 2. I try to ask them to go easy on the syrup but they seem physically incapable of doing so :neutral: Not that I don't end up enjoying it lol

    I think that's with cream.
    Having said that, the more I poke around the more confused I am. It looks like all the "flavor swirls" are @ 170 cals.

    That's my confusion. Some places they mention "flavor shots" and some places "syrups" but the nutrition info says "flavor swirl". Are they all the same thing, I have no idea :confused:

    Did you look at the color of the drink? I get their caramel swirl a lot and it's a lighter color (looks like it has 4T of creamer), but not added "creamer" or sugar. If the drink looked darker, like the color of coffer then it was the shot and not the swirl version.

    Yes it was light. But why ask if I want cream and sugar?

    I feel the same way, but they ask every time. Guess some people like it EXTRA sweet and creamy. lol

    OK, that's starting to make a little more sense! They shouldn't make coffee this confusing - I need to have the coffee first to understand stuff :)

    Dunkin makes me crazy

    They make sugar free 10 calorie flavor SHOTS

    They also have flavor SWIRLS that are sweetens calorie bombs. These are the ones that change the color of your drink.

    Some flavors are only available as swirls, some are only available as flavor shots. But some-like caramel, vanilla and others-are available as both.

    I swear, no matter how many times I say PLEASE use the sugar free French vanilla flavor, I have to go back on and have them remake it because they use the flavor swirl. It's incredibly annoying ever since they started doing it this way.

    If you go to their website they have a nutrition PDF. If you see drinks with caramel swirl etc added-that's the calories to log for what you got. Not the wonderful 10 calorie flavor shot. I can usually find most Dunkin items in the database.

    But I didn't ask for a swirl... I asked for flavored iced coffee. And it says specifically on the board that adding flavor to your coffee only adds 0 to 100 calories... That's why I'm confused (it's only 100 calories if you order the same thing at Starbucks too). Either way... I won't order that again!

    The nutrition PDF didn't have anything for non swirl hazelnut iced coffee. That's why I'm confused. I asked a friend who used to work at DD and she said they usually just add syrup? But then why was my drink lighter...

    You got a swirl... I know​ it's not what you asked for. If your drink was lightened (like cream) and sweet, they used a swirl. The swirl is like a creamy sweet syrup. I get the mocha swirl, and they still ask if I want cream and sugar! It's so sweet and creamy with just the swirl...

    I took a screenshot of part of the PDF that shows both hazelnut flavor and hazelnut swirl. Note the difference. You may have ordered flavor, but you got a swirl. Dunkin and Starbucks are completely different in this, FYI. I already explained in my original response what an issue this is, and how I deal with it. Good luck in your coffee endeavors.

    Ps-I've never posted a photo from my phone, sorry if the format sucks horribly.

    I think it depends on the flavor, really. My go-to DD order is a large blueberry iced with skim milk and 3 Splendas. The blueberry flavor only comes in the shot, so it's unsweetened. The only calories come from the milk, so they're minimal. What flavor did you get?
