    Dozen Donuts
    Ruvic Anne L.

    This Dunkin' is a solid, dependable breakfast and coffee spot in Walnut Creek. It's not a boutique café, but if you just want a quick coffee, a donut, or a breakfast sandwich and don't mind the occasional parking hassle, it's a very good pick. Supporting this location helps maintain a convenient local option -- especially for busy mornings or quick errands.

    Thought jelly doughnut would have more than 10% jelly?!?!?

    Where's the jelly?!?!? Plus the super confusing conditions of what can be redeemed with points; Bagel and bites but can't redeem egg bites?!?!?! Yeah, this is one doughnut joint that tastes more sour than sweet

    Signature iced pumpkin spice latte if course:)

    Definitely had to stop by since I was in this particular area today and get their signature iced pumpkin spice latte, it's my go to during spooky season. Definitely worth the try if you're a big pumpkin spice lover like I am :)

    Half dozen, mostly eaten!

    The 5 stars are for the yummy donuts and all employees wearing masks. We got there on the late side, around 6pm and maybe because of the late arrival, we didn't get any that really wowed us. The Bavarian cream filled was the best of the lot but the rest were just okay. Does anybody know if they actually make the donuts on site?? Or are they trucked in from elsewhere?? This location is fine for Dunkin' Donuts but can't hold a candle to some local donut shops. Our favorites are Johnny's Donuts in Lafayette and Chick's in Concord.

    Good donuts, good cold brew coffee and espresso drinks, and good service. It's nice to stop by once in a while to pick up half a dozen donuts to share or to pick up a beverage. Sadly, their selection of donuts seems to have been reduced, so I can't get some of my past favorites now. They also have designated certain donuts as seasonal, so you can only get them during a short time period. However, the ones that they do have are a tasty treat : ) *Note: Make sure to use your Dunkin' app to get all of your promos!

    They may not be the most perfect franchise that sells the donuts and coffee drinks that are both beloved and maligned by fans around the world, but this location of Dunkin' as it is now called must be celebrated because it is the first to open in the Bay Area in almost twenty years ago when this location replaced a former Taco Bell location almost five years ago. Located in the San Miguel Shopping Center on the corner of Newell Avenue and South Broadway, this Dunkin' has the perfect location for those of you who want to grab something to drink or a small sweet bite to eat while one goes shopping in the outdoor Broadway Plaza located just right across the street. I remember when this location first opened, there were lines around the block just to get in and order with loyal customers thinking that they had to be one of the first to get their deep fried treats, perhaps not realizing they would still be around five years later. But knowing that this location is still here and thriving is the only incentive that I need to either walk over to this location once I park inside the massive parking garage at the Broadway Plaza or simply drive over and park in the parking lot of the San Miguel Center to get my sweet tooth satiated. Every time I go to Dunkin', I get one of two drinks, their Frozen Chocolate or a Coolatta (anyone else seeing a theme here?). I have to admit I come for these drinks because I am desperate need for a refresher and Dunkin has some of the best in Walnut Creek without the massive lines that stores in Broadway Plaza are known for. Can you imagine if they had a location in the Plaza? The lines would be lengthy! Thankfully this location is perfect just where it is as I feel little guilt in walking there for my calorie-inducing drink, not to mention nosh on a little crème or jelly filled donut and I am out the door either to walk off my little snack or drive off home which is quite the journey either way. Although the frozen drinks at Dunkin' could be considered a little sweet a find the frozen chocolate the perfect combination of chocolate mix and ice and is the perfect sip on a sunny weekend afternoon. Apparently they have different flavor swirls to accompany your drink (at least that's what it says online) but I wasn't asked by the cashier for my options, so I suppose I just had original on this day, which was fine as the sweetness can carry one a long way! The donuts at Dunkin' putting it mildly are traditional, as there's nothing truly special about them that you wouldn't necessarily find anything worse at your local donut shop. Perhaps their one true saving grace is that they remain very affordable as their crème and jelly filled donuts are no more that a little over one dollar, which in this day and age is remarkable. And although both their powder sugar jelly and their chocolate covered Boston Crème are both satisfactory, the latter is the better of the two. And my drink, even for a large cost roughly a little over three dollars, which was half the price of a similar drink at say Starbucks, granted with less coffee. The reason that Dunkin' has dropped the Donuts from its title, but not according to the sign at this first Bay Area location, is because they want to emphasize that they serve hot breakfast sandwiches, bagels and muffins, on top of their signature donuts. I personally think that's a mistake as Dunkin's identity goes hand and hand with coffee and donuts. When this location first opened in 2015, their goal was to make this location one of many in the Bay Area, but as of present, that goal hasn't panned out just quite yet as I can still count out the number of local Dunkin' locations on maybe two hands, which is unfortunate as Starbucks and Peet's and not to mention Krispy Kreme have all been fading quite recently, which has allowed a number of local and new coffee chains to thrive in the region. That's fine with me as options always pique my interest when it comes to blended coffee drinks and donuts and at Dunkin' in Walnut Creek they have some of the most reliable and affordable in the business!

    Donuts!

    04/21/2019: Dozen donuts & 300 donut holes!

    Review #164 - 2020 We showed at around 11:15 AM and decided to just do a mobile order from the car since the line out front was pretty long. I gave them half an hour to complete our order before walking inside & we were told that they were still waiting on the rest of our food item so it would be another five minutes or so. By 11:50 AM, I decided to just ask if it was ok to grab our drinks first since they looked melted down & the girls were getting antsy & thirsty. A guy comes out to inform me that my breakfast sandwiches were still not ready yet because the croissants had just come out of the oven & it was too hot to make at that very moment. He asked me if I'd be ok with getting them with English muffins instead. I asked him how much longer it would take if I wanted to wait for the croissants and he rudely replied, "I don't know!" He then proceeds back into the kitchen to announce that I wanted to wait until the croissants were ready, as if he was disappointed that I wouldn't just take the English muffins and leave. Finally, at 11:59 AM, someone shows me my bag signaling that my order was ready. When I took a bite of my sandwich, it was barely warm so I have no idea what they were complaining about the croissants being hot out of the oven. My niece got an order of the plain stuffed mini bagels and the everything stuffed mini bagels and she said they were pretty good. There are way too many choices when it comes to doughnuts and breakfast sandwiches, so hiring employees with an attitude problem is not cool especially during COVID-19 when most businesses are closing down left & right!

    A little perk for some!

I say it all the time in my reviews. I've had access to a plethora of coffee and matcha industry. And wherever I am on the globe, I always look for these shops during our adventures. Milly & Illian. My gosh. So welcoming. So proud of the shop, its products and their leadership. I hope the owners know. First timer here and I spent $52. Readers: the $52 was completely worth it as soon as we took a bite of the passion fruit mochi. Heaven sent. It's akin to Kailua's Bits & Bites on Oahu. Please don't ever close. Please stay open longer. This is the first time I've tried this after wanting to visit for so many years. I work full time andddd I live in 707 so it's a little bit of a trek out here.

I'm big big big on energy and customer service and you both broughttttt it. Being 38 when I visit these very trendy IG worthy spots, I'm usually disappointed- if not by the coffee or dessert, most definitely by the customer service. Read all my reviews, it's my first comment usually. To the owners reading this, seriously give a shout out to these lovlies. They started my day on the right foot.

I ordered a matcha Americano, and the cashier corrected me by saying, "You can just say matcha neat." That was unnecessary, but I brushed it off. While I was waiting for my drink, she turned to her coworker and said, "I can't stand matcha neat. It tastes like chalk." Whether she intended it or not, making that comment right in front of a customer who had just ordered that exact drink was incredibly unprofessional and rude. It made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. The drink itself wasn't the issue--it was the lack of courtesy and respect. Customer service matters, and this interaction completely changed my impression of a place I used to enjoy visiting. Unfortunately, this experience was enough for me to decide I won't be coming back.

I caught myself wishing I'd bought another one before I even finished it. My family tried the apple pastry and the sugar donut, and both were equally impressed.
