Dunkin Donuts is a brand which for some needs no introduction, being huge in the US and even large…read morein some countries around Europe and the rest of the world, including The Netherlands but in the UK, it doesn't seem to have taken off with only a few branches in locations including Leeds, Liverpool, Barnsley and London. This branch of Dunkin Donuts is located inside St John's Shopping Centre in Liverpool. People visiting this place hoping for a slightly quiet coffee will be happy to know, this is a store in the mall rather than a mall kiosk, despite it being located right next to, and perhaps even being classed as the Food Court of St John's, it does has its own store and small amount of seating with plug sockets. The store doesn't have free wi-fi, but it's pretty much easy to connect to St John's wifi with your name and email, it worked pretty well in the store and the shopping centre wifi was actually decent, unlike some which are just terrible. The store was quite quiet on my visit, and they only seemed to have one member of staff working - there was only a small queue but this could have been handled better as my server seemed to take the order, and then prepare it, for example getting out the doughnuts chosen from the stand, where they had a decent selection (nothing gluten-free though!) or making the drink. Having previously visited Dunkin Donuts once before, while in the Netherlands I had good impressions for this store, and I ordered the same drink as I did while in Amsterdam - A Large Cold Brew with Vanilla Syrup and Milk. This also tends to pretty much be my regular go to order when drinking coffee including at Starbucks. My drink cost £3.25, which included no extra charge for milk and a £0.50 charge for vanilla syrup, which was worth it as it added sweetness and flavour to my beverage. My overall drink quality was satisfactory, I would still rate it below Starbucks in the pecking order though but it was a good alternative, at an average price, my drink did cost 5p more than Starbucks but the standard Cold Brew was cheaper, as I did have to pay for flavouring syrup which is free as I'm a Gold Member of Starbucks Rewards. The drink was also slightly cheaper than the price I paid when I visited Dunkin Donuts at Amsterdam Centraal Station, the only other time I've visited the chain. The staff member working didn't seem friendly enough, although he was the only person behind the counter at a time so did have quite a large and busy role to do, meaning there was less focus on friendliness and customer interaction. They seemed to stock most items in store, although they did run out of caramel flavouring syrup and I didn't see anywhere around the store a list of flavourings offered which would have been a bonus, as I was basically going into the store adding vanilla syrup, not knowing if they offered it (although any coffee shop worth its salt would have vanilla syrup) or how much the syrup would be. Overall, this is a decent place to grab a coffee or a donut in St John's Shopping Centre, although I feel it would be better located closer to the One complex, the location is still decent and it's fairly close to Liverpool Lime Street Station too, which is Liverpool's main train station for journeys to other major cities, with Liverpool Central being the main station for Merseyside journeys, but Dunkin Donuts at St John's is decent and warrants a three-star rating!

Great coffee and drinks. Their donuts are to die for, and the staff are always friendly, well…read morepresented and have smiles when serving. Their chai latte is tasteful, and the small selection of panini's are always tasty, especially with a refreshing bottle of pepsi or Fanta. You can charge you phone, power bank, tablet or laptop while having your donut/drink and watch shoppers as the wander by. I would definitely recommend this place as a good pitstop if you are doing shopping, Pokémon go or just chilling with friends. When I have been there , I have been served by the always smiling Jennifer and Olivia. So why not pop in while you are shopping, and have a seat, donut and coffee before loading up on shopping.

Donut Dreams is a rival to the more famous and much talked about Krispy Kremes, now firmly…read moreestablished in Manchester. To be fair, they've given it a good go, but there just isn't a way to compete with Krispy Kremes is there? Theres just something about it, some secret ingredient, that makes their doughnuts irresistible. It's a bit like Hienz ketchup, that kind of thing. There's just no imitating it. Donut Dreams do actually sell the kind of doughnuts you are likely to dream about. They're all so brightly coloured with different colourful toppings, as if they've been lifted straight from Homer. No, not the ancient Greek writer, but the character from The Simpsons. This maybe makes it a better place to treat kinds to a doughnut than is Krispy Kremes. The taste though, whilst not bad, just cannot compete. They have a slightly bready texture that Krispy Kremes manage to avoid, and with one five minutes down the road, Donut Dreams will have to accept three stars.

Booked in for 8pm on a Saturday night, we headed down the incense scented steps and descended into the darkness of the restaurant. The front of house desk is a slot machine, and we were pointed in the direction of the bar to wait until our table was ready. The drinks menu includes cocktails, hard shakes and floats, beer, wine, and cider. Not wanting to start down the road of a white wine hangover the next day, I opted for a cider. Not having any names I recognised, I went for a Jeramiah Weed - tasting not unlike JD & coke, it was unusually delicious! Our table took about 15/20 minutes to be ready, for which the front of house were eternally apologetic and resulted in a free round of drinks, but this just meant we had some time to take in our surroundings. We're talking neon, bricks, bars, wire, photos of criminals, doors marked with incoherent numbers, and boxes marked in the same way to represent convict's belongings. The menu contains everything you could wish for; wings, ribs, fried lasagne bites (yes please), burgers, fries, and steak. Unfortunately for us, they didn't have the lasagne bites, mac & cheese, or bacon wrapped maple onion rings - but we sure made up for it... Our table contained a whole butter basted poussin, bbq brisket, chorizo fried waffles, wings with both tequila lime & frank's buffalo hot sauces, padron peppers, two portions of fries, and two portions of slaw. Served up in the same aluminium trays as Yardbird, it's a down and dirty style of eating (though knives and forks are obviously provided!) Top items had to be the poussin, with a perfectly crispy skin, and the chorizo fried waffles, with little pieces of chorizo and a spicy chipotle sauce. Padron peppers, which are currently a personal obsession, provided a vegetable on the table, and the slaw was vinegar based rather than mayonnaise, meaning extra greenery that I could get involved with. Wings had a nice spice, though I've come to the conclusion I prefer the sauce based kind, rather than the breaded ones served up. Although the brisket had the perfect texture, there was a bit too much bbq sauce for my personal taste. Desserts included fried oreos, ice cream 'sliders' with brioche, and pecan pie - that's if you have enough room... A great meal with friendly service; hopefully next time we can have room for something sweet!

Not bad. Food was plentiful but not great…read more Drink selection is ok. Atmosphere is quite cool but letting kids run around in the evening was not ideal. Was being served by 3 staff who, at different times, within 2 minutes, each asked if we were enjoying our food. They tried to take our order twice so no communication within the team. What started as being quite funny quickly turned annoying as we weren't left alone to eat or talk. Prices could have been lower. When it came to paying we struggled to pay on card because of the signal underground, which ate up another 15 minutes of our night. Would not recommend and would not go again.

But who can deny them? I mean they are the best donuts available to mankind! What a great idea, get a load of high sugar donuts, add some inventive flavours, then pump them full of cream!

Fantastic selection of German and Czech beers to choose from. Service was great, but, it was early on a Saturday and the crowd continued to build even as we were leaving. They had a drag MC that sang requested birthday songs and occasionally had something, ie one question trivia with winner getting a prosecco bottle, to break up between dj'ed songs.

After a bit of shopping in the Trafford Centre with my brother, we made a decision to stop by the 'Flag Ship' Trafford Krispy Kreme store for a coffee and Donut each. After seeing how big the queue for the drive through was, we decided to go into the store and have our little treat inside. When you get into the store, you are faced with what can only be described as Donut lovers Heaven! Behold, for before you is a conveyor belt of Donut, after Donut, after Donut, just floating on by towards a waterfall of Sugar Glazed Utopia... or in other words Spin class, after Spin class, after Spin class worth of goodies that would need to be burned off the next week for all of you watching your waistline! Bearing this in mind, we both opted for a Regular Hot Drink combo [which comprises of a reg hot drink and any 2 donuts £5] rather than a dozen. We were served within 5 minutes and made our way to the seating area.... now, i understand that it was probably a busy time on a Saturday evening, but it doesn't excuse the fact that there was rubbish on at least a third of the empty tables and half eaten donuts and paper on the floor. It took at least 10-15 minutes before someone came out to clear the tables. Its a shame the eat in area was like this actually, because the donuts and Latte we had where delicious! Over all my experience of the actual Krispy Kreme donuts where fantastic, this store just needs a member of staff just tidying up non stop. I'm not the first person I know to mention that it was untidy when they visited at an earlier date either! For that reason, I'm giving KK 4 stars just on the strength of the actual product they sell!

The big draw for this particular Krispy Kreme store is that it is one of the "hot light" stores,…read moremeaning that periodically through the day, you will see the production line in action, and see the way the donuts are created right in front of you, and sometimes you are offered a fresh donut straight off the conveyor belt, just after it's passed through the glaze waterfall. Warm, goopy, vanishes in your mouth! Yum! The donuts are great quality, and there's a good selection, with specials and limited editions occurring regularly. They also do a good range of hot and cold drinks, some American confectionery, and even Krispy Kreme merchandise. The venue itself is big, bright and open plan, as it was purpose built. It only has a single (disabled-style) toilet though. It has plenty of seating, from booths, to tables and chairs, to bar-style seating, and seating outside. Being an American company, the staff are given training to ensure they have that perfect, friendly, American style customer service attitude, which makes you feel welcome, and happy. The staff are superb, and do their jobs excellently. This store also has a drive through, for if you want a sneaky coffee and a donut on the way home, but as it's open so late, you might as well pop inside and take your time! My only slight criticism aside from the toilet issue is that the 'bar' where you get your sugar, milk etc, is well stocked (including sweetener, not just white/brown sugar), but only has napkins and doesn't have any wet-wipes, which with the type of glaze used on the donuts, would be very welcome indeed, as sticky fingers and paper napkins don't go well together! Come on, KK, if KFC can do it, surely you can! The most fun thing to me aside watching the production line, is that there are free 1950's soda-jerk style hats around with the Krispy Kreme logo on, so grab one and put it on, especially if you're grabbing a box of 12 to take out... you need to look the part when bringing donut joy to your friends and family.... (unless you keep them all to yourself! OM NOM NOM NOM NOM!)
