What is the Coffee Oreo Blizzard?
The Coffee Oreo Blizzard fulfills my childhood dream of being an ice cream secret agent. This “secret” menu item tasks my alter ego secret agent DQ7 with requesting coffee syrup to be blended with the standard vanilla base and Oreo cookie pieces.
How is it?
The basic request for a coffee infusion added a flavor so light that I thought it was undercover itself. A slight mocha note peaks its shy head up in the bites that are light on Oreo magic. A spoonful consisting of cookies galore on the other hand drown out the faint whispers of coffee flavor found in their absence. This raises the vanilla floor, but the Oreo cookie ceiling isn’t even raised enough for Oddjob. The coffee syrup is a pleasant but uninspiring addition.
Is there anything else you need to know?
I take any opportunity to don a tuxedo and affect a terrible, and probably offensive, British accent. It is however completely unnecessary when ordering from the “secret” menu. At least based upon the lack of a convoluted plot to slowly lower me into a gigantic bladed Blizzard stirrer.
To order the Coffee Oreo Blizzard for yourself, simply ask for coffee syrup to be added to the Oreo Cookie Blizzard. If you want more than just a hint of coffee, ask them to double it. Just don’t ask for it to be shaken and not stirred unless you enjoy exasperated eye rolls. I was not charged extra for the coffee flavoring, but they may have been scared of my license to chill.
Conclusion:
My first mission as a Dairy Queen secret agent ended satisfactorily. Coffee flavor fans will find this hack to be neutral at worst, and at best, an incremental upgrade unworthy of Q. Next time, I will ask for a heavier hand with the java juice.

dude, DQ is like a religion in the small town i live in and i had no idea you could do this. Gonna try it out now!
Are these places truly amenable to making changes? In my experience I find inflexible clerks who won’t do it. Or they charge me an upcharge that is ridiculous in light of what I am getting. Have you ever requested whipped cream on the blizzards or sundaes? For a tiny squirt, they charge way too much. I had taken to ordering blizzards like the french silk pie or pumpkin blizzard that comes with it. Why doesn’t every blizzard and sundae simply come with whipped topping??? It’s one of those things that has always bothered me so! If you don’t like it, you can ask them to leave it off. Heck even shakes and lattes at McDonald’s comes with whipped topping. Just say “no” if you don’t want it, but at least there is no extra charge like at DQ.
