Groupon had a Dunkin Donuts $4 for $10 card offer yesterday.  We have one opening up the street from my house soon.  I don't eat them but the coffee is fairly decent.

DH

Dunkin is the greatest place on earth. Seriously, there's a magnetic pull that has me finding myself in there probably three times a day to get an ice coffee. The shtein is beyond good.

And as Zan can confirm, we probably have 1 Dunkin per sq/mile in north Jersey...only decent reason to live up here.

DD is the north east's version of the Taco Truck. 

DH

I'm not sure what that is, but if this Taco Truck sells the worlds best tacos, then I completely agree.

If not, then you're an idiot and don't have any idea what you're talking about.

DH, he's a certified idiot. No question about that.

I'm more of a Starbucks guy, but I confirm the volume of DD's for sure. As far as DD goes, it's either great or awful, depending on the day.

Yes.  And you can find them on nearly every corner in LA.

I don't disagree.  But I'm still right.

DH, you've never been to a taco truck aka roach-coach? 2am, after a night of drinking, get an order of 5 tacos, squeeze some limes on them, eat, and chase them with a soda...or go with the Torta De Asada.

Pretty much DD.

I can honestly say I've never had a bad cup of coffee at DD.  But I'm not a coffee snob either.  I brew Folgers every day for farg sake and if I'm out and buy a cup, it's usually at a gas station.  DD is about as uppity as I get when it comes to coffee.

I drink Starbucks every day but I get it and brew it myself.    I'd drink Dunkin Dark too.  It's fine.   We have a Biggby in town now and it's damn fine coffee.  It's not near the house or on the way to work but if I had to get in the car for coffee, I'd get that shtein in a heartbeat.   Believe it or not Krispy Kreme has some ridiculous shtein and it's cheap as a motherfarger too.  Less than $2 for a big ass coffee and they have real cream there too, not zesty half and half either.

So unlike those openly self righteous hipster douche bag commies Romes who go into Starbucks everyday, you're a self righteous hipster douche bag commie fag still hiding in the closet?

You're a lucky guy, then. Maybe it's because there are so many of them up there, but I'd say it's close to a 60/40 proposition whether the coffee will be fresh.

If it's a new pot, the coffee is great, but I've had some where it's clearly been sitting around too long and tastes like filthy, burnt dishwater. I drink it black, so there's no covering it up. It's not cheap, either. At Starbucks, at least I know it'll be fresh...and it's about the same price because I'm not getting some specialty drink.

As a matter of fact, if I there was a Wawa and a DD next door to one another, at least half the time I'd go for the Wawa coffee.

Agreed.  But I'm all about paying the least amount possible for coffee and DD is like splurging.  Besides, there's a DD 2 miles from my house. Closest Wawa is like 70.  I live in Sheetz country.
