    I'm going to be the favorite mom at the tailgate!!!!

    Yes, I am back as the donut sommelier connoisseur aficionado with another donut review. This one is high on the list and you will not be dissatisfied. First of all the donuts are huge. You don't get any little tiny donuts like a duck donuts or Dunkin' Donuts you get your moneys worth with these donuts. The glaze doughnut is just pure heaven. You take a bite and it just melts in your mouth. It's not too sweet, it's not too dense, it is sheer perfection. This goes for all of the donuts. I took them to a tailgate and they were an absolute hit. I have now been officially assigned to bring donuts to all of the tailgates and they will be coming from donut life. I also give kudos to the young ladies that work there who are very friendly and welcoming.

    As a life-long Krispy Kreme donut fan I rarely find another donut spot that tickles my fancy - but now I have! This local donut shop in Hickory is fantastic! While visiting family I bought a dozen one morning, and then the next morning, and plan to make it a tradition to visit this spot every morning when I am in town. There are all types of donuts and toppings - chocolate, strawberry, sprinkles, Oreo crumbles, Fruity Pebble crumbles, the list goes on! There are also delicious cream-filled options - butter cream, Boston cream, and a seasonal option when I was there. And, even with all those choices, the plain glazed was the best! These donuts are BIG - plan on splitting them with friends.

    This place is so good. There is usually a line and it is worth the wait. They run out of things quickly so go early when you can. Every donut I have had here is delicious. And the people are so nice! And it is really inexpensive for gourmet donutMaple bacon and cinnamon sugar are my favorites. Happy to have a great spot like this in town. Quick update: the owners have made a huge effort to increase their inventory so you can now almost always get the flavors you enjoy when you go. Still a line every time you go but it's worth it. Consistently delicious.

    No donuts available on national donut day when that is all you sell, poor management.

    I am very disappointed with my experience at this Dunkin. I had received a signature latte that was…read moreway to strong so I politely asked if it could be made sweeter or adjusted. Instead of helping I was told the drink had already been made twice and I just received the drink. When I asked for clarification of what they meant. The manager became rude and unprofessional. Instead of trying to fix the drink or give my money back I was told I would pay again for a new drink. There was no apology no attempt to resolve the issue unless I paid twice for a drink that wasn't made correctly. I'm a regular here I am very disappointed. I rarely complain but this drink was awful and was refused polite service.

    This is a great place!…read more The staff are always so friendly, I stop almost daily on the way to work, and the staff have gotten to know my name. They greet me every time and make me feel welcome and at home. The food is always hot and ready, and the drinks are always delicious!! I know this is a silly thing to add, but the restrooms were spotless! It might be a weird thing to judge a place on their restrooms, but if that was the standard, this place gets first prize! Even though they are attached to a gas station, that doesn't stop them from being clean, organized, and friendly! If you need a recommendation, don't hesitate to ask! They do a great job at providing you with what you need! The one time they didn't have the food item I wanted when ordering in the app, they gave me great recommendations for an exchange, or offered to refund me for that item. This is possibly the best Dunkin in the nation!

    Had a really disappointing experience at the Conover Dunkin' this morning. I placed a mobile order…read moreand waited by the pickup window. It was busy, and a few other customers were complaining about the wait, but I didn't mind. While waiting for our hot food, I looked through the window to see if our order was being made. The manager, Hope, came outside and accused me of "talking trash" and claimed she could read my lips. I wasn't even speaking about the wait or responding to anyone. It was rude, unprofessional, and made the experience very uncomfortable. I've always respected people in customer service, so to be treated like that was frustrating. I've been a loyal Dunkin' fan for years, but this visit left a bad impression. Dunkin' can do better

    Came through and ordered a sweet tea and avocado toast.. everything was fine.. went to window to…read morepay and got my tea.. was waiting on my toast and while waiting I took a sip of my tea.. that tea was so bad I had to open my door and spit it out.. it literally made me sick.. so yes. I told them I did not want the tea or the toast just for the fact that tea was soured and almost fermented.. even the young lady who took my drink I asked her to taste the tea from container and she smelled my cup and said "OMG"... I no longer wanted anything from that store and ask for a refund and manager info to contact them to speak about the issue and let them know that employees are not cleaning tea jugs or changing tea.. when I asked for this info I was greeted by a rude "team lead" she told me I could not have that info for manager.. owner or corporate number to file the complaint and she also proceeded to tell me that it's not her fault people aren't doing their job and ensuring the quality or safety of food and drinks there.. as a team lead that is unacceptable... and yes ma'am that IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.. there was at least 5 members in that store.. 2 of them which witnessed our arguments... I once again asked for a refund and she took my card to swipe it for refund and then she walked away from register with my card in hand and at this point I'm livid because why are you not handing my card back??!!??? So when I demanded my card back she continued speaking to me disrespectful and mumbling so YES MAAM I SNATCHED MY CARD BECAUSE WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE YOUR ABOUT TO WALK OFF WITH IT??? Then she proceeded in calling me a F****** B****.. Great job Dunkin.. you got some pretty awesome employees and seems like you could care less about who you hire as from reading not just google reviews.. but the 1.6 star rating for this store on yelp.. I don't expect to get a response from this specific franchise owner.. I will not be back and will continue to spread my experience of this store with others in hopes of saving someone from getting truly sick and also treated like crap for something that wasn't the customers fault!!!
