Dairy Queen’s Coffee Coolers, including Oreo, are $3 through Nov. 1

DQ added Oreo, Salted Caramel and a limited Toasted Marshmallow Mocha Coffee Cooler. A small is $3 at participating locations all fall, not just on National Coffee Day.

Dairy Queen is treating National Coffee Day like a whole season.

The chain rolled out three new DQ Coffee Coolers this month, and a small of any of them is $3 at participating U.S. locations through Nov. 1, per DQ. The company’s Sept. 14 announcement was titled “DQ Celebrates National Coffee Day All Season Long,” which is a pretty direct way to say it.

National Coffee Day itself is Tuesday, Sept. 29. At DQ, it just happens to fall in the middle of the deal.

What are the new Dairy Queen Coffee Coolers?

Three frozen coffee drinks, all built on cold brew, DQ soft serve and ice:

• Oreo DQ Coffee Cooler: cold brew blended with Oreo pieces, soft serve and DQ’s misty slush, topped with whipped cream and more Oreo

• Salted Caramel DQ Coffee Cooler: cold brew with soft serve and misty slush, caramel drizzle, whipped topping and sweet-and-salty pieces

• Toasted Marshmallow Mocha DQ Coffee Cooler: cold brew and soft serve in a cocoa fudge-coated cup, topped with whipped topping and more fudge

DQ pitches the Toasted Marshmallow Mocha as “cozy nights around the campfire” in a cup. A small comes in at 520 calories, per DQ’s menu page, so it’s more of a dessert with caffeine than a coffee break.

How many calories are in a Dairy Queen Coffee Cooler?

Between 460 and 520 for a small, per DQ’s menu pages.

The Salted Caramel is the lightest at 460 calories, the Oreo is 470, and the Toasted Marshmallow Mocha tops the list at 520. All three come in small, medium and large, and the $3 price is for the small only.

Is the Dairy Queen $3 Coffee Cooler deal only on National Coffee Day?

No, it runs all fall. The $3 small is available through Nov. 1, 2026, per DQ’s announcement and Totally the Bomb.

DQ’s menu page puts it simply: “For a limited time, enjoy a small for only $3.” The company’s release sets Nov. 1 as the end date.

It’s at participating locations, so check the DQ app before you drive over. Franchise stores sometimes opt out of national deals.

Which Dairy Queen Coffee Cooler is limited time?

The Toasted Marshmallow Mocha. DQ calls it a limited-time flavor and hasn’t given it a separate end date, per Totally the Bomb.

Parade reported the Oreo and Salted Caramel versions as permanent additions. DQ lists all three under its “Blended Beverages” menu section as new.

If you want the marshmallow one, don’t wait until Thanksgiving.

How does DQ compare to other National Coffee Day deals?

It lasts a lot longer than most of them.

Dunkin’, Krispy Kreme and Whataburger are all giving away free coffee on Sept. 29, and Peet’s has 25-cent drip coffee, per NerdWallet. Those are one-day offers.

DQ went for five weeks of cheap instead of one day of free. A frozen drink probably sells better that way anyway, with fall still running warm across a lot of the South.

What else is on the Dairy Queen fall menu?

The Coffee Coolers join DQ’s fall Blizzard lineup, which includes an Ube Oreo Blizzard, per Parade.

DQ describes the whole line as “delicious frozen treats mixed with cold brew, world famous DQ soft serve and ice,” per Sporked.

For $3, it’s an easy one to try. Just maybe not at 7 a.m.
