Is it going to be correct coffee? Tan water? Grounds (chewy coffee)? Burned? The darkest roast ever? Roll the dice at Dunkin today!

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.

I forget I’m spoiled because my city/town has more local spots than Dunkin’s tbh

I love it, but lately some of the dunkins by me have had terrible coffee tasting burnt. Complaining hasn't helped at all.

I started going to local place for bagels, donuts, and coffee when I lived in CT. Google/Apple map search you will find a good 1-2 nearby.

Same here. Remember when they made the donuts in the store? That was peak goodness.

well that's the problem, there are way better donuts and coffee but they somehow manage to be really expensive too so they don't do anything correct

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.

We had one in Plainville a few years back and sadly it didn’t last.
