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

Dunkin' - Half Dozen!! - Donuts Near Me - Irvine, California

4 stars just for the wonderful customer service I experienced a few weeks ago. This friendly employee was so nice, it felt as if I was in Chickfila! She greeted us, and had a smile on her face! Even though the other employee {she was training him} made my drink awful, I can overlook that for the wonderful customer service we encountered. I wish I could send her over to the Tustin location and instill some of that customer service to those employees. She genuinely was kind and thorough. I had never been to this location before, we just happened to be on that side of town grabbing dinner from Hen House and I always need my DD fix!! If I'm ever in the area again around that time, I'm coming back to this location! ^___^ read more

At first, when I stepped in, they greeted me and asked if I was ready to order. I wasn't and then when I was ready they wouldn't help me and told me to use a kiosk that didn't work. read more

Dunkin Donuts has been around a really long time. This is the first time I have seen DD appear near a college campus, to be in competition with the nearby UCI "giants" of Peet's Coffee and Starbucks. I really enjoy the semi-outdoor seating provided in this location, which is the perfect spot to study or just take it easy between work/classes. A few things need to be improved, in order to earn that fourth star. The maple and chocolate bars were good, but the frosting came out to be more of a saccharine liquid rather than a sugary layer of goodness. Some of the "deals" are very ambiguous, such as the "free donut" that accompanies a coffee (they only told me later that it had to be a medium coffee). The young employees, overall, seem very unsure about proper customer service, but this is forgivable, since they are still learning and will definitely be able to develop better interpersonal skills as they gain more experience. This place has so much potential. With the school year just around the corner, I am confident they will have enough time to turn things around, to make this spot the next best thing among the UTC/campus "giants" Cha, Starbucks, Peets, and Yogurtland. read more

beautiful store, nicely stocked/clean on the inside. Tap coffee selection is what impressed me the most! Great location, plus they actually had the NEW Chocolate Stout Cold brew on Tap, which is what we were searching for... Super happy to know they look organized and with good inventory.. college Girls are so polite/sweet. Plus, I love, love, love, this time of year when Irish creme makes it's way back to the Store. I'll be back for more! read more

The donuts are really good! The coffee is a hit or miss but that's Dunkin' for you lol

The staff was so nice. This review does not reflect the workers at all. They're 5 star workers! I come here regularly but today I was bummed because I got a bunch of donuts and there was barely any filling in the Boston Creme donuts! My friends I shared it with bit into theirs and we all saw how empty the inside was of all of them! Also, some of the heart shaped Boston Cremes were so much smaller than others, but they were all the same price. Really sad about the inconsistency. I feel like I got ripped off today. Hope they see this and fix it because I loved being a customer there. read more

Come here to study once in a while but won't be coming back after all the mosquito bites I've been getting in the patio seats. They are literally flying around the bottom of the tables and probably attracted to all the crumbs and liquid people spill around these areas. Do these people ever deep clean their patio floors or wipe down the tables after they close? Not coming back. read more

Excellent service and delicious donuts as expected from the dunkin' franchise! This specific one is located inside of the UCI university center so parking is plentiful and time limited as well. My visit here was made all the better by Nae who greeted me with a warm smile and answered my questions kindly as I decided on my donut selection. This Sunday morning was made with the sweet goodness of my Chocolate Kreme and the kind service here! read more

Nice place to get some work done while getting some coffee. The staff is nice-- I think they have a pretty high turn over rate for staff because usually I make friends with the staff at coffee shop but I haven't seen a barista twice in there lol read more

This place was spacious and there were many tables available for studying. However... the cashier was absent so we waited around 3 minutes before we finally decided to call them out to order something. Their cameral latte was pretty watered down and overall, this place is only good for students looking for a spacious place to study at. I haven't tried their donuts yet but will change my rating later when I do. For now, the customer service was definately not the best. read more

The Dunkin here has the most patience baristas!! The barista named Amanda always makes my drink perfect :) I highly recommend her. The study area is perfect if you are coming from class and need a place to grab a bite and study read more

Dunkin' - Iced Latte - Donuts Near Me - Irvine, California

I stopped in Dunking yesterday with my twin girls and I have to say the lady behind the counter (KAYE) made sure we let with a smile. One of my twin girls picked a donut and didn't like it after the first bite and Kaye recognized that and made everything right. This is why we come back to this Dunkin all the time and recommend it to family and friends. read more

Generally disorganized store with poorly trained staff. Donuts are put out with still-wet glaze, and sold stacked in paper bags with no wax paper separating them. The result is a sticky mess, which leaves most of the glaze on the bag itself. Why not just skip the middle man and give me my order face down in the palm of my bare hand? They consistently mix up the donut labels - a basic task that every customer can see they've failed at - and they don't even care when you tell them! They've just opened and they've already given-up on this basic matter of presentation. I shudder to think what the back of this store will look like in a couple months, if they keep the facade in this kind of disarray. They can't be better organized where no one can see, can they? If this had been the first Dunkin Donuts, it surely would have been the last, too. read more

I had came to this DD because I was close to this shopping center. I walked in anf noyived 2 girls standing around talking i had asked a girl (I believe her name was Savannah) a question. She must have either not liked my question or didn't know what I was talking about bevause she gave me a dirty look and said no we don't have that here. And continued to talk to the other worker. I was so appauled on how she acted so I walked out and didn't bother ordering my coffee. If someone works in customer service, shouldn't they at least act nice!? I have never in my life had such a rude staff member. She should be talked to and trained better. I will no longer come to this location. If she treats the customers this way I wonder how long this place will last. I hope top management does something about this if they want to keep customers happy. read more

Came for the grand opening for Dunkin' at University Village. This is located right behind Target and next to the Amazon store. They were handing out free samples of donut holes, and you get a free plastic tumbler with any purchase. There's outdoor seating with a fire pit! Really cool set up, I can see this place is going to be really popular for people-watching. I think they open at 4:30 in the morning, perfect for early-risers. read more

Grumpy people work here. Especially one girl who was here yesterday and today. She rolls her eyes and sighs at any request. Food really good. Just really cranky employee(s). read more

Best Dunkin employees and the service is hands down the best I've ever received!!!! My drink always taste the best at this location!!!

Friendly staff, inviting place, outside patio to work and converse, and a great selection of fresh donuts and awesome coffee on tap... oh my! If you love donuts, you will go nuts at this new Dunkin Donuts at UTC next to UC Irvine. I got half dozen donuts and surprised my office staff; they loved them... Great to see a bunch of students sitting outside and enjoying their cool drinks and studying. About the only blemish could be is that there's not enough standing room where you browse the donut selection and place your order. Watch out for long lines as the news rolls out and eager students return to UCI for Fall. read more

The employees service at this dunkin donut goes above and beyond. Katherine help me today and was explaining drinks to my friend and I to help us choose. Just the best vibe we will be back because of her read more

This one is strictly for the Santa Ana location. I grew up in Dunkin' Donuts and it's nice to see them back but some of them don't have the same quality and or bakers at the Santa Ana location has. read more

I've had multiple issues with this Dunkin giving me the wrong order, to the point that I'm pretty sure it was the same employee just messing with me because she thought it was funny. but this time they literally gave me my breakfast sandwich still frozen in the middle. I brought it back and the male manager asked me to hand it to him which I shouldn't have done, and he absolutely just reheated that same one in a new tortilla wrap. I should've thrown it away and asked him to make me a new one because it literally still had my bite mark in it I'm so disgusted I will literally never come back here read more

This is a new Dunkin' Donuts in University Center. There were a bunch of promotional offers posted outside so I decided to take advantage of it. The procedure for redeeming it was not detailed so I wasn't immediately provided with it and had to ask about how to redeem it. While it said the line goes to the right it didn't say anything about how to get the food so people snuck around me. There is seating outside. There is seating connected to the building. There are also some umbrella seats next to the bridge which is a Pokémon GO gym. Parking is limited in time. read more

Honestly the best service I could ever ask for! They are speedy and not to mention extremely nice to talk to. I always order the tea beverages, and I have loved each and every one! I always love seeing familiar faces of people who work here, and I couldn't be any more grateful for this location! read more

Went in today for first time to pick up some do it's for kids. These look like day old donuts that didn't even hold until we got home. I asked the guy at cashier if they are fresh after seeing the glaze isn't looking so good and more of a wet look! He said new baker and grabbed two other ones from back but they all look the same. So sad!! read more

I had THE best experience on Tuesday when I went in! The Dunkin worker greeted me so nicely as soon as I walked in and took my order and everything and also had my drink ready in literal SECONDS! It tasted so great and I think Lucy was her name, she deserves a raise! She even recommended me cold brew which is her favorite apparently! 10/10 recommend this location and ask for Lucy to make your drink! read more

I went many times to study. My favorite drink is iced macchiato! I become really productive when I worked here maybe because most of the coffee places play loud music which is really distracting for me! I recommend this spot for students who want to work on their projects in a good place and grab their favorite coffee. read more

Dunkin' - Very good place for studying or having quite time, no annoying music! - Donuts Near Me - Irvine, California

So nice 2 dollar lattes from 2-6. I so needed one. Thank you love there coffee. Yummy yummy for a cold winter day. So glad Dunkin is here. Thank you dunkin read more

Got the strawberry icing donut, which was very delicious, but it was quite pricy for a donut ($1.23 ish). The atmosphere was very quiet and is a great place to study. Cashier was quick and friendly. read more

Dunkin' - Starwberry icing donut with sprinkles - Donuts Near Me - Irvine, California

The staff is usually pretty nice but lately they have become alot more careless. I use to pick up my coffee and not have to worry about them making it right but it's become a 50/50 chance that they would make it right. Hopefully they get it together because I really do like coming here read more

Nice, friendly staff, and large portion sizes for drinks for a cheap price. And I honestly like the coffee better than Starbucks. The donuts themselves are ok, nothing to write home about, but they're still good, just not anything amazing. They do have limited time donuts they make sometimes though. For example, they had a s'mores donut one time I visited. These limited time donuts overall have been pretty good, but just cost a little more than their usual donuts. read more

Favorite coffee. Love Dunkin' great coffee. Donuts are so so. But the coffee is to die for

Past three times I have gone to this location I have not felt a welcoming atmosphere from the workers. This last time the employee rolled her eyes at me and made me feel uncomfortable. Would not recommend. read more

So glad UCI got Dunkin' Donuts. It's so convenient having it across campus. Never had a problem with my order.

First experience w/ D.D. Nicest service!!! Very helpful and happy attitude! Will def be back!

4 stars for food, 1 for service. We ordered 7 sandwiches and it took over 30 minutes. Our order was forgotten. When I checked on it, they just said that it's not ready and wasn't able to tell me how much longer it would take. This caused us to be completely late for an appointment. No apologies from the staff or manager. read more

Quiet area for study and because it is a big patio, so u can have your dog companion with you, plus they have heater in the patido so it doesn't gets too cold when it is rainy or chilly read more

WORST customer service ever. I went here to get some coffee and use a coupon that was on the Irvine Company app. I told the cashier before I ordered I had a coupon for a buy one get one free coffee; even showed her my phone where I had the coupon. I finished ordering and showed her the coupon and that I was redeeming it and she tells me they don't allow those coupons anymore. I ended up just getting the one coffee since my husband didn't really want one anyways. I pick up my coffee at the end of the counter and I asked the gentleman if I could speak to a manager and he tells me there is no manager. I ask him if I could get the contact information for the store manager; he says he doesn't have their number. I ended up just leaving with my order but the employees at this Dunkin Donuts really need to take a class in customer service. I will never go to this location again; I should have just gone to Peet's Coffee around the corner. read more

No issue with customer service here. One star simply because the product sucks. Yes I tried a donut and he's it was really bad. Here in So Cal we have plenty of mom and pop donut places that seriously blow Dunkin out of the water in terms of quality. Really concerned about a big corporation like this squeezing out these places. Please support these smaller businesses so that we don't have to worry about Dumbkin taking over this space. It would mean either never eating donuts again or lowering our standards way below what should be necessary to enjoy something so classic. read more

Love this place! I make it a monthly tradition with my besties to come! And the service is always top notch
