Dunkin’ Donuts

Been going to this location for years every morning before I get on the train. I need coffee & something to eat in the morning, so I alwasy stop in. It’s to the point where they know my order before I even say anything! Points for them! In general the workers are pretty nice & get my order right. The one young guy in the visor seems to be the one that mixes up my coffee or food order, until I check it & correct him. Few times i’ve left & had to go back to fix it & all he does is give this smirky smile with a giggle. Excuse me its, not funny… I shouldn’t have to come back for your mistake!
On occassion I’ll stop in the afternoon & really enjoy my service from Anjum! Very nice, polite & funny! Wish she would work the mornings more!
One thing i’ve been saying for years: If it’s past 3pm… ALL donuts should be HALF OFF! You know they’re not fresh & have been sitting around since 6am… so why still sell a half stale donut for full price?

Ya’ know, I would not ordinarily write a review about a Dunkin’ Donuts. But I have to admit I really like this place. Could it have something to do with the nice gal there giving me two apple fritters for the price of one? And yes, maybe it was late. Maybe it helped them to not throw away yet another fritter, but what a nice gesture. Where do you ever get two for the price of one, without it being advertised in advance? Without the groupon or even a coupon? That’s the kind of surprise I like, thank you very much. They are always very friendly, and convenient when I just need that donut fix (BTW, I also discovered that apple fritters go very well with Shiraz.)

What a nice little store located in such a convenient place. I have never received any bad service from any Dunkin Donut places, especially not from this one.

It’s a holiday?
I really really need bribery fast.
I also need a vat of caffeine pronto.
You see, the school system has a lot of days off– it seems a lot more than in my day, (I went to Catholic school and no, Lent did not mean I got out of class) we didn’t have a couple randomly every month– National Pickle Day? Okey-​dokey, sure CPS, honor that and close!
Problem is, my boss has kids, My Boyfriend’s partner has kids, my coworkers have kids– and now they need to scramble to assemble childcare and make sure the massive number of total kids are well-​behaved, entertained and monitored.
I am the only one without kids.
This sometimes means it has become my responsibility to multitask, work and watch everybody’s kids. There is logic in there somehow, that someday might make some sense.
See now why I need to chug a massive barrel of coffee that may or may not be larger than my regular intake?
Sometimes that means the kids are going to work– and that can turn any office into a manic zoo… This, right now, is the moment to buy a box of munchkins.
Yes.
For this awesomely low-​priced junk food effort, the kids will be distracted by glazed, red velvet, chocolate, blueberry, powdered sugar, cinnamon goodness, behaving themselves as everybody is happy, wolfs their favorite until mom/​dad/​nanny/​babysitter picks them up.
Enjoy the sugar high!

I am not the biggest coffee person, but there are 2 drinks that I love: Dunkin’ Donuts coffee with cream and Splenda, and Starbuck’s soy lattes.
This DD is closer to my house, and far more convenient as it is inside the Western Brown Line station. I can leave a few minutes early and grab a nice medium perk-​me-​up for the day. The pumpkin syrup they have in fall is pretty great too. If you’re hungry, get the Big & Toasted (Toasty… I don’t know. Texas Toast + bacon + egg = delicious!).
The lady who works here is super duper nice. She called me «sweetie» one time. I like her!

I like all the specialty coffee places in Lincoln Square. Really.
I just don’t like the part where I pay $ 5 for a cup of my desired beverage.
When I’m being a cheap bastard, I usually head over to the nearest Dunkin Donuts. Their coffee is delicious (so much better than Starbucks) and I don’t have to sign away my first born child for a cup o’ joe.
This location was no exception. This is a «pocket» Dunkin Donuts (it’s in the Western Brown Line Station), so it’s quite small. I got in, got my medium coffee with cream (NO SUGAR) and go out.
Easy peasy.

Most fast food places tend to mess up your order. I have gone to quite a few dunkin donuts (I go there everyday!) and most DDs mess up my order, but not this one. They seem to always get everything right– I LOVE IT!
