i've actually never gotten a bagel from DD (probably because there are better bagels on semi-literally every corner of every street in NYC), why should you get the cream cheese on the side though?

Their breakfast sandwiches are an atrocity. Pre-cooked microwaved eggs? I won't have it. Their donuts and muffins are acceptable usually.

Dunkin is barely present at all once you get past the Mississippi, and nowhere near as omnipresent in the south as they are north of DC (though they’re around sure).

Like if you’re not from the Philly to Boston corridor, or if you are and haven’t spent much time outside of it, it’s hard to understand just how much more Dunkin there is in the Northeast than in not the Northeast.

Huh, guess you're right. I was basing my reaction mainly on their massive presence in Chicago, where there are far too many for the square miles of the city.


1 Dunkin is too many, poo poo sucks.

They give you a sealed container and a knife instead of a skidmark scraped out of an uncovered flyblown tub

There's no reason to go to this place now that their coffee is overpriced and they got rid of the salmon cream cheese imo

The real atrocity is that given how many Dunkin's there are in our area, there are very few local bakeries that will make donuts.

On the other hand, those few that do make their own donuts are loving amazing.

I stopped eating pork this year and so Dunkin’ Donuts having a readily available and tasty breakfast sausage made of turkey instead of a piggy is excellent and means I will eat there a lot more often

Dunkin Donuts is the only place on the west coast where I can get chocolate cake donuts that taste like they're supposed to, and I have no idea why.

I used to love Dunkin Donuts and then I had a donut from an actual non chain bakery and realized I’d been getting hosed for a long time.

The rest of menu offerings are fine.

Dunkin was way better when they baked the donuts in the store, they fell off a quality cliff when they started trucking them in. Now they’re trying to be a coffee store instead of a donut store, which is going to result in them getting stomped by Starbucks.

They have a lot of Dunkin' Donutses (Dunkin' Donii) in Korea. I went to one yesterday because they lured me in with ads about Reese's donuts, and it was so bad. Or at the very least not good. I also tried their breakfast sandwich, and it was slathered with very sweet ketchup. I somehow doubt the American ones are any better. I just can't bring myself to want to eat there ever again. Especially when Krispy Kreme is usually available.

Edit: Actually scratch that. The cake donuts (not available here) are actually good. As are the donut holes (also not available here). Well, mostly. Yeah, the whole menu is kind of middling at best imo.

There is one (literally only one) Dunkin left in the US that still bakes fresh on site.

It’s in the suburbs outside Boston and the donuts are, in fact, actually quite good.

i live in NYC and there are really good donut places around, one of which has hibiscus donuts which are GODLY, but they also cost like $12 apiece or some poo poo

honestly i don't care if the donuts are trucked in or not, as long as they're good, and dunkin donuts are at least serviceable

also, their coffee is fine. i once got decaf from there though, and it tasted like olive oil or something, although that could just be decaf in general :gonk:

As for them not making the donuts on site anymore, they stopped for the reasons you can imagine. It’s a bit of a shame I guess but every franchise network that gets bigger ends up mostly supplying out of one store’s kitchen as a matter of efficiency and it really sucks to do that when the franchise gets huge. And corporate makes you stop trying at a certain point. It’s fast food donuts mate. Go across the street to the boutique.

I'm a simple man and a simple glazed donut is all I need and nothing will top a hot and freshly made one. It's why I prefer Krispy Kreme (when the sign is on) and Shipleys over Dunkin Donuts and most of the other nearby boutique donut shops.

There's a DD across the street from the subway stop near my apartment, and another across the street from my job. If there were neither, i would literally never go. Now, though, I have the app on my phone and a free 150-point drink waiting for me. Life comes at you fast.

I ate a glazed Krispy Kreme donut recently and it literally just tasted like sugar. JUST sugar. It was weird.

You when you read my posts:
I worked at one of the factory kitchen things for a Summer job in Wareham, MA. I ran the big pan washer, it was rad, you could fit like 3 people standing in there and give them a real quick and probably super dangerous shower. The muffin pans were miserable to load up to wash though. Working 10 PM to 6 AM wasn't fun either. That and my Dad always saying picking me up from work made him hungry because I smelled like donuts.
The chocolate cake donuts were the only kind that had their own machine for some reason, I think all the other ones were put through the same treadmill fryer thing just in different shifts. The best part was the rack of donuts that came out weird so they wouldn't sell them, and anyone could just take and eat them because they were just going to be thrown out otherwise. Probably why I think the glazed sticks are good, never mind edible.

I think that’s cuz noobs buy ESL chocolate instead of EQD which isn’t as much of a pain in the rear end to get right.
