Dunkin’ Donuts

Nice clean store, but the staff seemed to be off today according to the regulars I spoke with, someone must not have shown up for work. Waited quite a bit for my coffee and food.

Very nice looking inside and out.
The guys working this morning were very nice. Snapped me right out of my morning grouch. This is the only location I will get hashbrowns from– ways on point.

Let me start by saying that I like Dunkin Donuts coffee and I even buy their ground coffee to brew at home but lately I have been noticing that their coffee with cream tastes like hot water and cream mixed together, no flavor of coffee at all. They are either skimping of the amount of coffee powder that they put in their machine or put just too much cream or maybe both. I picked up coffee twice from their drive thru and both times it was awful so it will be the last time I am going to get a coffee from this location. Also, please be very careful while you are in their drive-​thru, the space is very tight and they have these orange poles on both sides and for a mid-​sized SUV or larger, there is a very high chance of getting dinged.

This is a new free-​standing Dunkin Donuts location and definitely one of the nicest ones in the area. This building used to be a bank, which is pretty evident with the 3 drive-​thru lanes, but obviously they are only using one of the lanes for the drive-​thru service. It’s very nice inside with a decent size seating area and some of the seats are nice comfy chairs. There’s a small area inside setup for selling k-​cups and other DD branded items. This location also offers free WiFi.
I usually just get coffee (I love the pumpkin mocha and pumpkin caramel this time of the year) as I’m trying to ensure the waistline doesn’t grow too much, but I went inside this morning for both a coffee and a donut. The guy who helped me with the coffee wasn’t that friendly, but the manager helped me with the donut and at least she smiled. In general, I don’t typically find the workers at any Dunkin Donuts to be overly friendly. Don’t get me wrong – they are by no means rude, but I usually don’t leave feeling like they value me as a customer. Maybe it’s different for those who visit day in and day out, but I usually only stop in once a week or so.
I’m amazed by how many DD we now have in this area, with like 3 less than a mile from each other, but this one will most likely be my goto DD going forward as it’s on my way to work, fairly easy to get in and out of, and the drive-​thru is easy to get thru unlike one of their other locations closer to my home. The one potential downside is it’s not immediately obvious how to get to the front parking lot. Once you turn into the shopping center, you can either go down to the Weichert real estate building and hang a left there and work your way to the front of the store or after turning in, hang a left and go through the drive-​thru lanes. This morning, I simply used the outer drive-​thru lane to bypass the drive-​thru and make my way to the front of the store. It would have been nicer if there was direct access to the parking lot off of 29.
In short, really nice location and I’ll definitely be back.
