Mine is the one on mantón ave, the drive thru fits about 2 cars and everyone else that trickles onto the road waiting in line causes traffic. It’s always horrible when I’m on my way to work lol

There's a lot of students for charter schools downtown, they all go here but hate it. It's the closest one and they never get the order right.
There's so many awesome coffee shops downtown that it never makes sense to me that they get so much business.

You mean the one down the street from Blake's? I was at that one last Sunday, and they were making drinks for people who aren't there. They ended up giving them away. I was waiting for 15 minutes for a large ice extra extra cause these two girls couldn't get their shit together.

One time I went there, and I swear the entire staff was either brand new or on drugs. I was in the drive thru for half an hour. When I got to the window, they had no idea what I ordered, and she went on mumbling something about a "large hot iced, small". Probably one of the few times in my life I was rude to someone in retail

Whatever Dunkin is linked up to my Doordash doesn't even try on my orders of a dozen glazed donuts. They give me like 3 glazed and throw all kinds of random stuff in there.
Even when I only order a half dozen, they still don't give me all glazed.

Dunkin on Nooseneck in Exeter. Watched the lady test if the coffee was hot by pouring it over her finger as it went into the cup. Apparently it was indeed hot enough, so she kept pouring. This was for a drive thru order. I walked out, and still wish I yelled something to the guy in the truck.

Seriously this one sucks, I left a review detailing how they screwed up my wife’s coffee. She ordered a cold brew, and they gave her watered down dark roast. When confronted, they admitted that they add water to some of the coffees to make them last longer. What a shit show.

Yup. Went yesterday, had ordered through their app — two donuts, two coffees and a breakfast sandwich. I pulled up to the speaker and they couldn’t find the order. Then they found it and handed me one coffee and asked “why are you still waiting.” Three more trips to the window and “what else,” I finally had the whole order.
slimsady2 t1_iyx4040 wrote
I only order medium iced made regular. Pretty straight forward and simple drink (this coming from someone who has worked at Dunkin before). Last time I ordered one from there, it was layered. Sugar. Coffee. Cream. I asked if they could blend it up better and the cashier swirled my drink around twice in her hands and gave it back to me…

viciousvalk t1_iyxlgkw wrote
they need to get rid of it entirely. the manager is an asshole and his employees are trash, too lol. I used to order in the app (pre-paid) and the workers used to argue with me LITERALLY daily about it already being paid for, trying to make me pay again. like i come here every day! i order in the app every day! i don’t understand the DAILY confusion.
then one time they gave me someone else’s coffee and this trashbag that worked there tried to legit fight me thru the fucking drive thru window because i told her it wasn’t my drink and she insisted it was. it was supposed to be the peanut butter flavor which was like bright orange from the syrup so i knew without even tasting it that it wasn’t mine lol. the guy in front of me in the drive thru got out of his car with my bright orange coffee and he was like “umm i don’t think this is my coffee” and she didn’t even apologize. i never went there again after that.
i’m wholly devoted to marylou’s coffee now.

Risking the downvote, I totally agree. I used to occasionally grab a breakfast sandwich from Dunkin, and they were decent. Now (within the last 6 years) they come on a rubbery Bagel/English muffin, with a lukewarm thing resembling eggs, and usually fridge temperature cheese. This is at every single one I've ever been to.
