I love this Dunkin', oh yes, oh yes! This Dunkin', nestled in the University Center shopping center near the bridge to UCI, has decaf breakfast tea! The majority of the West Coast Dunkin' locations do not stock the decaf breakfast tea; however, this one done. Happy, happy day! I've almost given up asking for it since only two (of nine) California locations that I've visited stock it. Additionally, this location has more Dunkin' merch, including hot and cold drinks canisters and dog toys, than many of the others. The woman working behind the counter was also very efficient with my recent order. Will definitely be back for the decaf breakfast tea! 2024: 79/100 read more

location is great, and the drinks are good. I get the cookie butter iced coffee sometimes, but the quality can vary. Note, this location does NOT accept CASH, which I learned the hard way one time! read more

It's ridiculous how poor the customer service is at this location. The only reason I've kept coming here is because I much prefer Dunkin coffee to other large chain coffee, but I might have to avoid this location from now on. It takes like 20 minutes for a simple order of coffee and a sandwich to be made, and there's only ever one or two miserable-looking employees behind the counter who give you attitude if you ask any question. It's also insanely hot in this location, which cannot be good for the food or drink storage. Mobile order screens are dirty, my drink tastes different every other time I come here, and to top it all off it's like pulling teeth trying to get a refund. I really don't get it. read more

Things have vastly improved at this Dunkin' Donuts location since my review over four years ago. Service is more prompt and efficient - there is minimal wait for my order after placing and paying for my order through their snazzy app. Drinks are solid, food is fresh and tasty, the donuts are awesome! Download the Dunkin' app to get points and special offers. I think the current mobile offer this month (March 2024) is a $3 medium cold brew once a day. Their coffee is more tasty and less pricey than Starbucks. read more

They've been having good deals on the app for bkfast Sammies. I usually order via mobile app for convenience, but I went when there was an event on UCI and it was sooo packed. Usually my order is done ASAP, but it took a while. Mainly wrote this review to give Kudos to the staff. They handled the chaos well and didn't have any attitude even though the random rush was making things go out of stock like milk / syrups etc. That needed to be refilled. The workers here are always so nice. As for food, it's been pretty good. Sometimes the hash browns/sourdough bread can have a freezer taste, but have been having decent experiences with the bagels and the inside is like a better mcd bkfast Sam. read more

Came here. Ordered on a filthy screen. I'm writing this review like 4 months later and all I can remember is how filthy the self order screen was. Nothing about how the drink tasted or what I even ordered. read more

My go to hot cocoa with a shot of raspberry was disappointing. Maybe it was a bad day. If I wasn't supposed to be eating excess sugar in the first place I would've asked for more cocoa. The seasonal snowflake donut was sold out by noon on a Saturday. Friendly employees although orders are filled on the slow side. Their order queue screen is helpful. They have an expanded food menu (a pancake taco?! Ooh) but the posted calories made me not get a donut. Still my fave is the Cruller. Pumpkin munchkins (donut holes) still offered in mid December. Large outdoor covered patio and accessories wall. Great place to relax or study. Plenty of parking, too. read more

Rude employees. I asked a question about ordering and no one acknowledged my presence. They looked at me but said nothing. Waiting for a bit, they kept gossiping together, so I walked out. read more

Girl, this shit took 20 minutes on top of it it's missing like 10 sips. The girl spilled it and didn't add more to it lol. Anyways. read more

Dunkin' - Donuts Near Me - Irvine, California

I asked this woman for some creamer or milk and she gave me like a few drops in a tiny cup. So of course I came back to ask for more and she rudely told me that she would charge me if I asked for more. I'm here right now and writing this instead of enjoying my breakfast. I just got off from a busy 12 hour shift saving lives. Give me a break read more

I was so excited today! Took my youngest granddaughter for a walk. On my way around today we walked in the cute walkways of the shopping center which had the DD! I was able to ask at the front counter if they had the new iced lemon loafs and the nice lady told me yes! So I ordered 2 to go and took one for my daughter and one for me! My granddaughter is too young as she is fed by her mama. We ate them when we got home. So lemony and oh so gooooooood! By the way, I also like the LA Dodgers donuts! Was kind of funny being in the OC and seeing Dodgers donuts, but no Angels. Lol read more

Normally, I come here and have no problems and they are pretty efficient but not today. The service was not great and I was late for work. Even though I put my order in ahead of time, if my order was ready when I got there or even in a few minutes afterwards it would have been OK, but I noticed that one of the workers was working on all the food items then bringing them up altogether versus putting them on the counter when they were ready.They had 5 orders come up at once. My drink was made wrong as well and had to be corrected. When I asked if my order was ready because the little sign said it was she said it was broken. It's just inconsiderate to the customer. I don't even like to write bad reviews, but I had to do today. read more

I love this Dunkin Donuts location in UTC right by the UCI campus! I've spent so much time drinking iced coffees and studying in the comfy outdoor patio with friends. The patio is shaded, always clean, has outlets, and has wifi. Perfect spot to study, hang out with friends, or just grab a refreshing drink. They're always friendly and the drinks are consistently good here, too! read more

Pretty sure the workers at this location hate their jobs, was there for about 20 minutes and not one person smiled. They just seemed really irritated. read more

If you're in a rush or just simply don't want to waste your time don't come to this location. Fifteen minutes after I ordered my wake up wrap it still wasn't being made, ended up j saying give me a donut instead and leaving also didn't even get a refund because I didn't have a physical card on me. If you can take my money without a physical card then you should be able to give it back without one. read more

Since my time was limited, I am going to list the pros and cons of this Dunkin: Pros: -The Sour Cream was delicious! It is basically a glazed old fashion but it was crunchy, sweet, and mouth watering! I am glad I did not get the dozen because I would not have been able to control myself. -Americano was filled to the brim (always a plus for me) -Price is awesome -Service was fast and was greeted w a smile. Did not remember what the donut I wanted was called and she asked me questions to help me determine it was the old fashion sour cream :) Cons: -It was crowded and I hate the way the floors were marked to enforce social distancing. It is a small space so I understand the attempt to make the spaces staggered but it is confusing and no one was following it. There were three people in front of me so i stood at the door and people were just cutting in front of me if they were in tunnel vision like I was an unprofessionally dressed, haggard door holder (i had messy hair and was dressed in pajamas.) I saw that happen w another customer behind me too. I wanna give it three stars to be honest, but feel the floor markings is too petty to subtract two stars. read more

Service was quick as I ordered online through the app. Their reward system seems worth it. I ordered the iced chai latte with oat milk. The drink mainly tasted like oat milk and not a lot of chai. That was a let down. Since this is my first time coming to this location, that's all I can review about for now. read more

There was an enchanting young woman named Eliya. When I walked in, I didn't even want donuts. By the time I walked out, I found myself down $14 and up 7 donuts. I love donuts now. She wowed us with her charm and were forever loyal to this location from now on. She just earned Dunkin new family members read more

Dunkin' - Donuts Near Me - Irvine, California

I only come here because it's close to my work. Honestly, it's a hit or miss. I order the same drink every time, but it somehow tastes different each visit. Consistency isn't their strong suit. read more

This Dunkin is an average quality in a food location. It's locates in the University Town Center Plaza and has a nice, heated patio where you can dine or study. In the mornings the lines are really long, but they go by relatively quickly. The food and drinks are standard and consistent with other Dunkin locations. I definitely recommend their hot items on the menu because they taste really fresh! My only issue is that the staff touched all over the lid of my cup on the mouth hole with bare hands when giving me my drink and also ended up spilling my drink over their hands but just wiped it with their fingers and still gave it to me. I think there could be a little more hygiene protocols at this location, but I'll still drop by here for a quick bite or some refreshments while studying! read more

This is one of my regular stops on the way into the office. Don't come here if you're in a hurry. They seem to always be understaffed and backed up with drink orders. The screen showing the order queue is pretty useless. It seems to be on a set timer for each order instead of displaying the actual completion of your order. The quality of their drinks and food are on par for any Dunkin' you'll come across. read more

Force you to order on a disgusting touchscreen, rude employees, doesn't accept cash. Don't encourage this nonsense.

This Dunkin is in the perfect location, Hit target, then grab some lunch... then treat yourself to donuts and a delicious coffee here ! It's a really nice one. Great seating area outside. I had an adorable young man help me, very kind and knowledgeable. He was recommending other things to get including different drinks. I've never been there before, so it was really nice to have somebody so suggestive. read more

Quite surprised by the food quality here~ Dunkin has def stepped their game up for breakfast food. We came here around 08:15 AM in the morning, not crowded at all, there are plenty of outdoor seating around the area so very covid safe. I got the hot coffee and stuffed bagel minis ($2.00 with two small plain bagel bites). The bagel minis were pillow-y and not overly rich in cream cheese, perfect light breakfast or snack. I tried a bit of my BFs wake-up wrap and his sister's ham, cheese, and egg english muffin, both were pretty solid, sandwich was better than McD since it was less greasy and lighter. Coffee here is solid, not overly bitter and smooth, easy to drink. Dunkin quality has def improved, would highly come here for a quick on the go coffee or breakfast. read more

I have been to this location numerous times -basically because I'm a fan of their coffee which is alot less bitter than what is served at most coffee shops. The service is consistently HORRIBLE! They are under staffed (19 customers and 1 person behind the counter today making drinks AND taking orders). Finished orders are placed on the counter and no one calls out the name on the order so looking for your items becomes free-for-all (add in some employee attitude when you ask)! The order screen says your order is ready when it is not (more attitude when you inquire) Place is dirty - counters are full of spilled milk, coffee, juice and who knows what else ... and then list goes on. Unfortunatley, my experience today was no exception and will likely be my last! At least my coffee was good! read more

I love coming here on Friday with my wife for our weekly dose of cold brew with sweet foam on top. Ash, Tristen, and Katherine helped us out this past Friday and they are just one well oiled machine. At 7am most people are not their best but this team is /are definitely morning people. They are very responsive, friendly, and welcoming. Super efficient, let's face it when you haven't had your cup of Joe yet that's all you want. They get it to you ASAP. Thank you guys for making this Dunkin have a enjoyable ambiance . read more

Extremely inconsistent service and quality. Usually I order an iced coffee everyday, but my typical drink now tastes watered down and flavorless. Ordering here feels like a toss up with a 30% chance of your drink being accurately made, and a 70% chance it gets made wrong or they forget to give it to you. Or maybe just avoid the students who work here between 7 am and 9 am, since I normally come during these times and the drinks always come out wrong. Personally, I don't think it's worth coming here for a small chance the drink actually comes out correct for once. read more

Dirty dirty dirty. Not great service. Unhealthy food. Bad watered down coffee. Overall not a good value for the cost.

Came in around 5pm. Place closes at 7pm! They didn't have the items we ordered. It would make sense that the items should be turned off or marked as unavailable. Also ordered a blended drink and they said they couldn't make it because the blender had already been washed. read more

Another cashless business in America. Pathetic and shameful. I walked out of the store today when I realized this change. I will never support a company that doesn't accept American dollars IN America. I think that's the epitome of poor customer service. read more

I was the only customer in store & let staff know the Dunkin' app isn't working so couldn't get into my acct & don't know if any specials. Ordered some donuts and an iced coffee. Upon paying 2 others entered and asked if the cold brew special was still available, which it was. I asked what that is & was told it was essentially the iced coffee I got, but less for a larger size. I asked why he didn't tell me about it when I asked if they had anything I couldn't see because the app didn't work. He said because I didn't ask for it. Incredible. It wasn't about the money but the service was severely lacking and the server severely lacked common sense. So I made him refund my coffee and give the cold brew special. Unbelievable. read more

Dunkin' - Outdoor covered patio. - Donuts Near Me - Irvine, California

This was a great little Dunkin location! Not going to lie, it took me forever to find. I was craving Dunkin (like went out of my way and forced some friends to come with me). So after parking, I was all over the maps just trying to get to my beloved coffee. Once I found it I was so happy. Excellent service! I had my coffee within 2 minutes of ordering. I forgot how nice the prices were. I ended up getting two lattes and 3 donuts for less than $10! Two lattes alone at almost any other coffee shop probably would have cost $10. The worker talked to me throughout making the coffee as it was just me and my friends in there at the time. Great customer service! Whether it was sleep deprivation or just my coffee cravings, I went back the next day and had a similar experience. Somewhat small inside of the store but simple and straightforward! read more

I just came back to this and realized I reviewed this dunkin years ago. Not only has nothing changed but it got worse. Service is slow as hell. The dunkin is hot inside. The donuts are all melty and sticky because of this. When I went in the workers mixed up my order three times. Homegirl touched my donut with her hand while trying to get it in the bag after the other dude gave me the wrong one. Gross. Coffee tastes weird and not right for dunkin. Like it's filter hasn't been changed in forever or something when brewing. Disappointing. I get that they're student workers- but maybe hire more qualified people. read more

Not the best DD. Everytime I've been here, they've been out of most items. Service has always been fine though. Good location in the sense that there are lots of other places to eat and shop in this center. We usually end up here after making a stop at Amazon for a return or pick up. But parking can be a pain for that reason. Donuts are good, but I don't recommend the muffins. Dry and not enough blueberries in the Blueberry muffin, chocolate in the chocolate chip muffin, etc. read more

Came in earlier today, Sunday, at approximately 11:10am. At first glance, I noticed that it was super busy. I noticed immediately that there was a lack of urgency in the workers (saw only two -- 1 handling the drinks and the other at the cashier + boxing donuts). Regardless, service was just fine. I ended up getting half a dozen (2 old fashioned, 1 pumpkin, 2 strawberries, and 1 blueberry). Strawberry used to be my ultimate favorite!! For some reason it no longer tastes as fruity nor decadent (6/10). Although, I acknowledge that it could be just an off day or the donuts weren't too fresh. The highlight of it all was definitely the pumpkin donut though!! (9/10). I was surprised by how well spiced it was and not overly sugary. read more
