Brandy and Monica are serving up nostalgia in more ways than one—on stage and in your morning coffee.
In celebration of their upcoming reunion tour, the R&B legends have teamed up with Dunkin’ to debut the Cereal ’N Milk Latte.
“It’s more like a creamy espresso latte blended with cereal and milk, which is something we all grew up eating anyway,” Monica told PEOPLE. “It has a familiar, nostalgic taste to it.”
Brandy added that Dunkin’ pitched the idea with a clever nod to their 1998 classic. “They reached out to us and had this exciting idea to play off of our song The Boy Is Mine and make it into The Latte Is Mine,” she said. “We just thought that was so cute — and we fell in love with the drink!”
The collab arrives just as the duo gear up for The Boy Is Mine tour, their first-ever joint headlining run—25 years after the Grammy-winning single sealed their place in R&B history.
Brandy noted the timing finally felt perfect: “The song was such a monumental song and so many people loved it, but it just never seemed like it was the right time. But now coming together all of these years later, it just seems like this is the perfect time.”
The tour will also bring some surprises, with Kelly Rowland, Muni Long, and American Idol winner Jamal Roberts already announced for select shows. Monica teased that fans should expect even more unexpected guests, aiming to bring back that old-school thrill of not knowing who might hit the stage next.
As for Dunkin’s promo, produced with Betches Studios, it leans into Brandy and Monica’s playful rivalry in a spot where the two argue over the latte before deciding it’s worth sharing.
Fans can order the Cereal ’N Milk Latte in-store, on the Dunkin’ app, or online starting August 20.
