When I posted my feedback online via Threads, the post reached over 381,000 views and so many people agreed. Some felt betrayed after buying the XL size for over ₱200, expecting it to taste as good as Dunkin’s coffee. Instead, it was just sugar and milk with barely any matcha flavor.
Is Dunkin’s Matcha Latte Worth It? Honest Review + Cheaper Alternatives
The biggest complaints were consistent:
-
Too much ice – making the drink feel smaller than it is.
-
Overly sweet – almost like instant powdered mix.
-
Lacks authentic matcha flavor – some said it just tasted like milk.
-
Not worth the price – several alternatives offer better value.
For the same price, many recommend PickUp Coffee’s Matcha Latte, CBTL’s ice blended matcha, or Dot Coffee’s Dirty Matcha. Even budget-friendly options like Pan de Manila , Lawson or Cocopan (₱85 for almost a liter!) deliver better flavor and value.
Dunkin PH Matcha Latte Review: Too Sweet, Too Icy, Not Worth It
To be fair, Dunkin still shines in their coffee-based drinks, but their matcha is a clear miss. Some even said they couldn’t taste the matcha at all—it was just milk and sugar. For ₱150–₱200 per cup, most customers felt they were paying more for ice than for the drink itself.
Best Affordable Matcha Latte Alternatives in PH (Skip Dunkin!)
If you’re a true matcha lover in the Philippines, you’re better off exploring other cafés. Highly recommended spots include:
-
Muji – Hot Matcha Latte (₱130)
-
Expressa – Matcha Frappe, 16oz
-
Highlands Coffee – Creamy matcha at ₱90
-
The Beans Lab – Balanced, creamy, and budget-friendly
Final Verdict: Overpriced and Underwhelming
So, is Dunkin’s Iced Matcha Latte worth it? The short answer is no. At its price point, it simply doesn’t deliver on taste, quality, or value. With so many better options available, save your money and go for a matcha latte that actually satisfies.
