Four stars for the cold brew coffee. It was strong and tasty. 2 stars for the glazed donut holes. They were kinda sad...they were deflated and stale. It tasted like day old donut that you left out and didn't cover. read more

The people who work here go above and beyond to help. I spilled devil sauce on me and they provided me with wet paper towels. The food is great and so are the drinks. Get the app for maximal value. André is the man! read more

Filthy! The floor was so sticky I should have walked out. Then they were out of croissants, then every where I looked there were non service dogs (unsanitary), then I noticed flies in the donut case. Why doesn't it have any doors on the donut case. Also, not one employee smiled once. They all looked completely miserable. So many things were wrong with this visit! read more

Dunkin Donuts is in a small shopping plaza so parking can be a problem! Seemed somewhat busy for this small branch but the lines move very quickly. The staff is very friendly and pleasant and always seem to get the orders completed quickly and correctly. Tried the Girl Scout Thin Mint Cappuccino-YUM! The coffee, donuts, muffins, sandwiches, etc. are consistently fresh and tasty at all DD's; but prompt friendly service is an added treat! read more

Great donuts, good sandwiches, nice choice of tea, good coffee. If this was a yuppie joint, I wouldn't give it 5 stars, but for what it aspires to be, a tasty island of sanity with no frills and good drinks & eats, it is definitely 5 stars! read more

I love this location, everyone is so friendly! I love their masks! Everyone seems to be following health guidelines and place looks very clean! read more

As an East Coaster, I grew up with Dunkin. Now as an adult, their coffee is my go-to whenever I am in the neighborhood. Their cold brew is the best around, in my opinion. This location, however, is inconsistent with its cold brew. On average, every third or fourth visit I have to this specific store has resulted in light and weak CB. When I bring this to the attention of the staff, they are typically very polite and apologetic. They do not (or perhaps cannot) remedy the problem, though. Having already paid, it is a hassle to request a refund. I do not like any of their other drinks, so I politely decline an even exchange. I usually accept the CB, which, when substandard is akin to iced coffee, and walk away disappointed. I have not had this experience at any other locations, though, so I am unsure whether this is an equipment malfunction or training error. Either way, there is room for improvement here. Donuts, however, are still on point! read more

Only 3 stars because service has never been great and seems to have gotten a bit worse. I stopped ordering coffee through the app because my request for almond milk instead of regular milk was ignored most of the time...not fun when you're lactose intolerant and at work...lol. I went in today (3/15/19) for a croissant and donut bites, got my donut bites right away but waited forever for my croissant...they forgot about it. They apologized but it was still annoying. Some other guy ordered a coffee and was waiting for it when I walked in and 3 people that came in after me got their coffee first. At least he got his coffee before I got my croissant. read more

The ham, egg 'n cheese sandwich comes with a rather heavy English muffin that is not toasted or buttered and the ham is not as good as the Canadian bacon McDonald's uses. Both could use a little sauce of some sort. I think whoever develops the perfect sauce (a condiment to enhance the product) will have a serious advantage, but no company appears to grasp that. There is always a McDonald's relatively closed to a Dunkin' Donuts (the reverse is definitely not true). Unless I want a donut I won't be back for breakfast, probably ever. read more

I'm so glad they finally opened another Dunkin Donuts in downtown San Diego. While the other location at Pacific Highway is just as good, the parking situation is a nightmare to get in and out very easily. At least at this spot near Horton Plaza, there's plenty more street parking and structures near by. I've been able to visit here several times over the last month or so and haven't had any issues with getting my orders quickly and correctly. Employees are friendly, talkative and do well making sure things move smoothly. This place offers plenty of seating outside and a clean interior inside. I usually stop by here for a quick coffee by ordering through their app, coffee is ready right when I walk in and I'm out without having to wait. read more

Burrito was wrapped with triple layer of tortilla and less meat. Not going back here. Try Las brasas instead

Came in today for some coffee and got amazing customer service. The two managers were so great. Everyone was nice but the managers were amazing. So lively and willing to help. Got the coffee and some donuts. Everything was fresh and all employees were following the covid guidlines. Will be back tomorrow! read more

Dunkin' - Dozen - Donuts Near Me - San Diego, California

I order pickup using the app, I frequently arrive to find something not available that I ordered. Sorry, but we are out of doughnuts. Sorry, we did not make your bagel because the toaster is broken. Sorry we underfilled your coffee because we are out of lids. Sorry, we are out of the breakfast sandwiches. And when these things are not available, there is no offer to refund the money I paid, no, I just get to pick something else or come back later. WTH. Every other place you can imagine handles this better. Start out with keeping the store stocked. read more

"Glazed" donut holes with zero glaze on them and completely stale!! Also had to go back because they forgot one of my donuts that they had charged me for... read more

Dunkin' - Donuts Near Me - San Diego, California

Been so long since I've done a yelp review and amazing! Great food and coffee! The staff is so sweet!

The ladies here are so sweet. There was no line and everything came out quickly. Way better than the National city and hillcrest location. Will be coming here from now on. read more

I really like this Dunkin Donuts location. Staff is friendly and efficient, and I enjoy the coffee. A straight-up double espresso is $1.99, just so you know. I tried the sourdough breakfast sandwich and it's decent for $4.99. The chairs & tables outside are chained up, and inside obviously no seating due to the Zombie Apocalypse. However, many people sit on the concrete by the plants (just check it first). It's Dunkin Donuts, so it is what it is as far as donuts go - it's no gourmet donut shop but better than 7Eleven. For convenience, great brewed coffee and positive vibes, check out Dunkin Donuts on 3rd Ave. & Broadway. read more

This review is from my visit about two weeks ago. I'm visiting from Albuquerque, and the downtown district was a bit of a challenge finding parking and navigating. I'll be honest I had to circle 3 or 4 times to find where to park. Ultimately parking about 3 blocks away and walked. But it wasn't a complaint or bad, it was a lovely April morning, misty in downtown San Diego. So I walked. I arrived inside and ordered my usual weird concoction of a iced coffee: regular sugar and liquid sugar, coconut and caramel flavoring, cream. Some people say it's too much sugar, it is, and I love it. I ordered a bagel toasted with veggie cream cheese. I was surprised to see that when it came out they don't put the cream cheese on. Not a complaint, cashier explained some people don't want a full portion, so they leave it to them to put how much they want. I get that. I did sit for a while doing this and that on my computer. It was a fun beautiful morning. And the view from the window while on my computer was phenomenal. read more

Awesome place, very clean, very friendly staff, and helpful. Will definitely visit here again. Truly love the fact that it is owned and operated by a Marine Corp Veteran. read more

Very nice. Limited selection. Opened less than a week, could be the reason for limited selection. Half a dozen donuts will cost $6.39. Staff was friendly. One donut will cost you $1.39. Located in Horton Plaza near Pandera bread directly across from the U.S. Post Office. Outdoor seating. read more

I order from this location every weekend. I usually send one of my girls over to pick it up. I order the same thing an iced vanilla cappuccino and they made a blended vanilla something or other. She said they don't make iced cappuccinos which I don't understand because I order it ALL THE TIME. I ordered two maple snackin bacons and she gave me two bacon croissants. I ended up with an iced latte which isn't the same thing as a cappuccino. I didn't know they just stopped making iced cappuccinos. read more

Worst donuts we have ever eaten. First, the selection was very limited. Second, they tasted a week old. I guess dunk them to revive and past history of being fresh. I get it now. Let me try now....didn't help. The donut turned to mush. I must say it must take a great amount guts to rely so much name recognition and make a product without quality and substance. So what is this chain all about. I suppose ppl who live back East like their coffee so much they put up with the terrible donuts. Oh and my wife really appreciated the homeless people hanging out. read more

I frequent this Dunkin through the week so I was surprised at how poor service was this morning. We first noticed how filthy the floor and tables were. We a heavy set lady with long black hair took our order but didn't listen to what we asked she had to redo the order on the register. The name on top of my receipt was Sedney.P we than waited for our order while witnessing the hot mess that was occurring the line was building up. The male line workers were continuously messing up order ice coffee was mad hot no sugar wrong size etc. a young lady customer became very upset because her order was incorrect 3 times and one of the workers was like well what do you want she said my coffee made correctly she was waiting for at least 20 min. The shift leader the dark haired women Sedney laughed and yelled from the back great work guys and made a smirk rolling her eyes at the customers as she sat at the desk texting and counting money. We asked who was the manager on she never made eye contact with us and one of the other workers told us her. Her behavior was extremely passive aggressive and inappropriate They continued to mess up or orders they ended up giving away 4 free because they were made incorrect . I am very understanding because I work with the general public and understand the intensity. I felt bad for the line workers they had no support from their leader as she sat and watched them sink and the customers anger. She was horrible I would re-think her position. The guys apologized and I accept that. read more

Talk about poor customer service for a brand new location on New Years Eve. This store closed at 1:00 pm today and we were turned away at 12:59 pm. Sorry that you don't want our business, your competitor Starbucks is open across the street until 6:30 pm today and they gladly accepted our business. read more

Went to grab a quick cup of coffee - waited over 15 minutes. There was a huge line of people just waiting for their coffee. The first 10 minutes I waited not a single beverage had been served. There were three staff working - a cashier, someone making food, and someone who did not appear to be working at all. When the employee making food realized how backed up the drink line was she did quickly switch to making drinks - however one employee continued to not work and seemed to be wandering around aimlessly. For a busy morning this location needs more staff and a more effective method of serving its customers. read more

5 stars to the staff and managers. It's obvious they train all employees on customer service because you can't help but notice. Coffee is great but amazing staff in a world of negativity. Thanks! read more

This is the best Dunkin' I have ever been too (and I'm from the East Coast). Every single employee greets patrons with a smile and a hello, and their service is very quick. Their customer service is top notch, especially the early morning crew. Thanks to downtown San Diego Dunkin' for everything you do! read more

Stopped in for coffee and donut after dropping someone at the airport, used the on the go app, made it to the car and started down the road...took a sip of coffee, opened the bag for my donut...and it was lacking most of the frosting... sad! wish I could load the picture. read more

I can't say that the food is bad, considering that I have never had it, so I've added an extra star. However, their coffee is quite disgusting. I tried it today and I couldn't even finish it. If you were planning on ordering coffee at Dunkin' Donuts, let me save you some time and money: don't order it. It's trash. It also took almost a half hour to get me my drink. read more

As a follow up to this, I went back in today and yesterday and it appears that there has been some personnel changes and things are moving along much smoother now. read more

I use the app and my food and drinks are always waiting for me when I get there! I'm an east coast girl so Dunkin' is LIFE!

First time I have tried Dunkin Donuts. Great place for quick donut and coffee break. Great service and employyes are so kind. I love how the male cashier was so kind to let me try a donut ball as part of my order. Thank You! Just a very casual place for those on the go. read more

Don't recommend this place , the cashier was very rude , loud and abrasive and made very little eye contact with her customers . The cashier is young black lady. Been here multiple times but they should at least train these people with good customer service skills . this location is a no go . read more

Why all the rave? Half-day-old donuts tasted at least two-days-old. I ordered a jelly filled and a sugar just before 7:00 p.m. on my way to a musical. Took a bite out of each and promptly deposited both into the nearest trash receptacle. I would have been embarrassed to offer these to the homeless passersby. What a disappointing experience. Shame on DD for keeping these and others on the shelf for the poor unsuspecting with a late night craving for something sweet . . . read more

I haven't been to a donut shop in years, but picked up some for my team. I was amazed at the line of people awaiting their breakfast items; those that had theirs looked like they were enjoying their food. Then came my turn at the separate line for the donuts and it was like a kid in candy land! Now only was there an excellent selection, the lady who helped me at the calendar was very patient and helpful in the selection making. When I got to my car, the donut aroma was out of this world! Upon getting to my office and actually eating a donut...okay 2 donuts, they were heavenly! Great flavor, texture, and an excellent value for the money. read more

Last few times were good but I went to go tonight [Saturday] and your store was closed up already at only 645pm

I had never seen that place until ii seen some skaters doing sum stunts on theat pipeline street. I was engaged in the show where I decided to have a donut and from their im a regular read more

Only real knock here is on the parking difficulty. The service is par or above. The food and drink are as expected. Dunkin has my favorite coffee...period. Very simple. "Coffee regular" which does NOT mean regular coffee at Dunkin. It means 4 creams, 4 sugars. Californians unfamiliar with Dunkin may be surprised by that. For whatever reason, it's simply my favorite coffee that I can't seem to replicate at home....sneaky buggars....making some kind of magic happen in that cup. read more

This establishment is getting 5 stars because of one person and one person alone, I initially would have given it one star. Because of one employee , Ellen brazzell it is receiving five!! I woke up Sunday morning and had my husband go to get my favorite Donuts .... Boston cream, lemon custard and Old Fashioned these are popular Donuts that at 9:30 a.m. in the morning should be in stock on the Shelf. However, they were completely out . When he got home I was beyond frustrated that they were out this early especially on a Sunday morning. I called the store completely frustrated and irritated Ellen answered, when I asked to speak to a manager she informed me that there was none on duty and then continued to give the best customer service I have ever received in such an irritated mood.( let's just say I can be quite the bear when I'm upset) not only did she stay calm and polite but she solved the problem calling a nearby store and having them bring those donuts to her store for me to pick up free of charge! I truly hope her employers know the gem that they have in her as an employee! Because of Ellen Brazzell this Dunkin Donuts is getting a five star instead of a one-star and a horrible review! read more

Donuts are dry and taste like they have been sitting there for a few days. We also ordered coffees. My husband ordered an almond milk iced latte and I ordered a black iced coffee. The latte was completely white and tasted like almond milk with a very slight coffee essence. My iced coffee was sour. We took two sips and threw them away. read more
