Starbucks v. Dunkin' Donuts
« on: April 27, 2007, 01:45:00 pm »
What is your personal stand between the two?  (Rhett, you needn't reply)
 
 Myself, I dig Dunkin'.  The staff is usually Asian and they give a damn, because family is on the line.  Their iced coffee is "to die for/like buttah"(Choose only one).  I get mine with cream, one Equal + coconut flavor.  Did you know that they grill their sandwiches instead of microwaving, as of today.  And they now serve grilled hash browns, also as of today.  I shouldn't eat hash browns...but I couldn't resist.  Especially when that cute, Indian broad kept axing me to try them.  Yum phreaking yum!

Living in Boston for a few years makes me an easy worshipper of double-D.  
 
   Although, i will say that Starbucks may have more consistency...as i've been to a couple Dunkin's that are complete shit. and starbucks usually are all the same.
 
   but Dunkin's coffee is superior and their breakfast options totally kill Starbucks...but i'm a fatty mcfatster who likes greasy food and jelly filled donuts..so what do i know!

My dad is in a nursing home and I can get him his one vice coffee from Dunkin' Donuts and he loves it.  Starbucks tastes "burned" and "bad" to him.  I gave up coffee a few years back, but was always a High's man myself as they did fresh ground there.

Neither...but when desperate, I'll choose Dunkin' Donuts swill over the sludge at Starbucks.

Why don't you open a Tim Hortons franchise in Charm City?

A very eriudite comment.  Keep it up.  DD are like 7-11.  You have to find the good ones.  I avoid certain 7-11s & DD.  It's usually because they aren't Indian-run.

Their crullers are better than Dunkin's, as I remember. I haven't been since '83.

What's worse is that my hometown's (Fremont) location is gone.
