Great customer service We always get the brown sugar shaken esp. we never leave dissatisfied. The employees always about and beyond my coffee always taste yummy. Thank you

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!

My experience was quick, but safe! This is the closest Dunkin' to us and I'm grateful we have one somewhat close! You really can't go wrong with any coffee & and you never bet the price! 10/10 for great service.

Donuts!

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!

Donuts are OK. I would suggest just going to a mom and pop place if you can since the style is pretty much similar.

We tried this spot and I was a little skeptical since they have coffee, smoothies, random desserts and pizza?? making a very mixed and random menu....usually not a good sign. I ordered the berry bliss smoothie and my son got the signature smoothie. The berry smoothie was average tasting for $12+. It was nothing special. I would have liked to add protein powder but the $3 add on was a lot so I felt slightly defeated in not having protein added to my smoothie. My son got his and said "it tastes like nothing". I thought he was exaggerating and I tasted it myself. No, he was right. It actually tasted like nothing. It had no flavor at all. I'm not sure how that happens. He threw it away. It was very disappointing. We also got the basque cheesecake which was actually pretty good. Overall, for a $34 price tag including a $12 smoothie that we threw away, would I come here again? No, I won't be back. But we tried it and this is my experience. Go see what you think.

For starters , there was no acknowledgment/greeting upon arrival. This immediately made me not want to spend my hard earned money here! The barista didn't offer any help or clarification on the menu after I explained that this is my first time visiting. I was interested in trying some of their unique pastries but due to broken machinery , they were extremely limited on pastries. I brush that inconvenience under the rug, because that is obviously out of their control. So I proceeded with ordering a breakfast sandwich on a croissant, then the barista informs me that they are out of croissants , okay.. no biggie, so I told him I'll have the sandwich with sourdough with an additional up charge to add bacon and ham. 3 minutes after paying , the barista then tells me they are also out of sourdough... so at this point, I told the barista to just use whatever bread they had available. I then received my ice vanilla bean mocha , which was a 4/10 . Nothing spectacular about this drink. Would rather have my boyfriend make me a latte with his AeroPress. Lastly, I receive my breakfast sandwich and realized after leaving Lever Coffee shop that they failed to add my Bacon and Ham on the sandwich, which is a $1.95 up charge!! Mind you I came in for my coffee/breakfast 10 minutes after they opened!! As far as service and food, I wasn't pleased at all. Especially because I decided to try Lever coffee instead of going to my OG coffee shop (3 cross coffee in Castro valley). If management is reading this , please practice food preparation and quality of service a little better amongst your workers !!

It's amazing how this place has grown, and I'm glad to see what they've done over the years. Their roastery is based in Oakland, but they have started to branch out to Contra Costa and other areas of Alameda County, which I have found quite surprising. I decided that trying their newest store out in Walnut Creek would do it justice -- and indeed, it tastes just like the one I tried in Oakland -- vibes, coffee drink, and pastry, everything with it's local taste. I got an easy vanilla latte -- and a butter croissant. Both tasted just as yummy as they say in other foodies' reviews. The only downside is the guest patio next to their stop -- I wasn't even sure if I was even allowed to sit there. I wish they could have made it clearer for other patrons so that they wouldn't get confused like I did.
