I opted for a gingerbread cold foam iced coffee and it was delicious! I also got a cheddar chive bagel and a s'mores bar to go. I asked the barista if she recommended the pumpkin cookie or s'mores bar and she said both were delicious but the smores bar was her favorite so I went with that. Would definitely stop in again and try other fun drinks.

Wow, Custom-made donuts!! These are well worth going out of…read moreyour way for, no matter how far away you live. Each donut is custom-garnished to order (nothing sits around going stale in a case), and the donuts are made fresh early each morning. I'll post pictures - but they're *big*! Even the donut balls are big! Check out Chloe's Creation and order that one to make the owner's daughter(Chloe, naturally!) really smile. There's even a wall rack with different toppings if you want to create your own. I've never seen anything to match this. You should really stop in!

Certainly the biggest donut I've ever had. Nice, family owned spot. There were a lot of great…read moreselections but, of course, I had to create my own. With donuts this big, you'd think they'd be a bit dry but this wasn't the case. They were soft and dense. If I'm all the way up there again, I'm def going back. Worth 5$ for sure.

GLAD I DID. I received some of the best service I've ever gotten in my life. The two women working the front counter were sweet and patient, which, if you go to most fast food joints, doesn't happen. I had forgotten my glasses & couldn't read the menu, and they asked me what I liked and made suggestions based on their favorites. Thinking I might change my preferred stopping place :)

I ended up with the Florida Sunrise, it definitely has orange in it and I think mango and pineapple and was topped off with powdered strawberry which was amazing. I also had them throw in an immunity booster because it's that time right now and why not? Great place, will definitely be back for a smoothie or shake sometime soon!

I ordered a cold brew with sweet cold foam. There is no screen at the speaker box so I can't see what she put in, but she didn't read it back to me, so at the window I noticed she put in sweet n low instead of foam. I wasn't rude or impatient; I understand it's hard to hear things through the head set. I even apologized even though I didn't do anything wrong, and told her I said sweet cold foam. She goes "oh. So you don't want sweet n low?" In a rude tone. And I go "no, just sweet cold foam". and she says "well /that's/ just cool and awesome" SO sarcastically and didn't even apologize for her error or snapping. I wasn't being rude or short with her at all, and she had the audacity to not control her sour mood and anger and make customers who didn't do anything to her, like me, feel upset. at this dunkin specifically, I have always had the worse experience not comparable to any of the other dunks nearby. One of the problems is the food is usually over cooked and/or they tend to forget to put all my items in my bag so I will have to check my bag at the window and tell them. I usually come here at least 2x per week and I will not be after this experience. I genuinely hope you guys realize it's really easy as baristas to put on a smile and be nice to people who are being nice to you. As one myself, we tend to have to apologize even when it's a customer's mistake, because we always try to "make the moment right" by creating the most positive energy we can. It is inexcusable and extremely immature that this crew member decides to take her anger out on innocent people who are really patient and pretty understanding (like me).
