The only thing I would purchase at DD (unsweetened iced tea) just tastes like it was brewed in a partially cleaned coffee maker. I haven't been in years.

People who eat the food there...have a little self respect.

I love the little local shops. But dunk is literally a five minute walk from my house in one direction, a 10 minute walk in the other direction. I have to go all the way to Black Rock just to get a legit coffeehouse That’s a good list you shared, whenever I hit NH I always hit up the real coffee houses

Orchards during apple picking season usually have kickass apple cider doughnuts!

Other than that, yeah the donut scene sucks in the northeast.

same thing with dollar general. In my town there are 3. and two of them are right down the road from each other. There are also 3 dunkin’s and 2 of them that are on opposite sides of i-395.

going to hard disagree with you there, about the DD coffee. It's ass too. I also don't drink coffee drinks, so I want the coffee to be decent. DD fails. And I'm sad every time I want to just do a drive through, and go to DD. I'd rather have had no coffee at all.

A coworker and I saved a DD Halloween donut decorated like a pumpkin, crème filled. We simply put it on a napkin and left it. The orange and green icing has deteriorated and crumbled away. The donut itself has never had mold or anything on it. It looks almost edible today - just a little smaller and drier as the oil seeped out of it.

I haven’t eaten DD since then.

had a great local coffeshop with decent breakfast food. AND a drive through. DD bought them, put in a DD for about a year, then built a new dd down the road and dumped the site.

And some of them somehow serve food cold. It’s not just Dunkin. Lots of fast food type places have one job. Heat up the food to a reasonable temperature and they can’t even do that.

I want to love Dunks, but I don't. Maybe it's because I'm originally from the south. Coffee is a last resort. Donuts are... also a last resort.
