DISQUS

Hooves · 1 year ago

I promise to buy a Dunkin card and put $1000 on it as soon as you break ground.

Sara · 1 year ago

OMG! I totally agree. I buy the ground stuff at Ralphs (no apostrophe) and while it wakes me up in the morning, I miss those cups. And those lids. And those braces.

Rod · 1 year ago

I have the ground stuff too, but I even have dreams about Dunkin' Donuts. My next trip back east is in three weeks and I'm just going to binge on croissandwiches.

Tonya · 1 year ago

PLEASE open Dunkin Donuts in CA!! I'd be there every single day!!! My next trip back to east coast is this weekend, and every time I go I hit up the Dunkins every day.

April · 1 year ago

I miss iced coffee... There's nothing that even comes close on the West Coast!

JSnark · 1 year ago

They need to sell their cups out in LA, at least then you can brew your own and almost feel like you picked it up from a 15 yr old girl at the drive thru.

stewartallyn · 1 year ago

I moved from the Northeast to Texas and also miss Dunkin' Donuts. There is only one in Plano (north of Dallas) and I go there twice a week. If it was on my way to work, I would stop everyday. DD says they will open more stores in the next few years. I hate Krispy Kreme.

William · 1 year ago

I am addressing this to those out there who have the money and ability to open Dunkin Donuts franchises in the Southern CA region.

First of all, the fact that there are currently no Dunkin Donuts in the Los Angeles area is a joke. Seriously. It is the second largest city in the country and there are no DD's.

Secondly, if I had the money I'd be all over this opportunity. It's really rather insulting to those of us that live here. The Los Angeles area is NOT comprised of a bunch of Health Food Nuts. That is a stereotype from the 80's. It's done. Over. We have fat and unhealthy people here too!!!

Thirdly, we seem to have McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, and In 'n Out. They are ALL doing fine. And they all serve similar menu items. So your "fear" of Krispy Kreme and Starbucks is really very very foolish.

And before you even think it, Donuts and Coffee are NOT a niche market!

Honestly, the lack of DD's in Southern CA proves that the people who can make this happen (those with the $$$) are frankly chicken. They are showing they don't have the balls to compete with Starbucks or Krispy Kreme.

Donald Trump would never hire you.

JSnark · 1 year ago

Well said William. I learned at Sonny McLean's that in order to buy a Dunkin Donuts franchise that you need to agree to open 5 stores. I'm sure this is slowing people down, but people are starting to open them all over the midwest! From what I've seen, there are people with money in LA. Why the F haven't Matt Damon or Ben Affleck opened 5 Dunkin' Donuts' out here? They seemed to be all about it in Good Will Hunting. Dunkin Donuts in California! Do it!

lover of DD · 1 year ago

I just heard a rumor that there is a Dunkin Donuts scheduled to open in Santa MOnica. Can anyone confirm that this is true? I just called a friend in NY to bring some DD hazelnut ground coffee back to LA with her.

JSnark · 1 year ago

You can actually buy Dunkin Donuts hazelnut coffee at Ralphs.. they also have cinnamon and pumpkin spice available. I haven't heard that rumor but that'd be great!

Kristi · 1 year ago

They have Dunkin Donuts in the freakin' Philippines but not a single store in Southern California?!?!

stephanie · 1 year ago

YES! Please bring Dunkin to CALI!! Especially SF...let's show these SF coffee snobs what DUnkin is all about!! I'm from here, lived in NY for 3 years and now, can't stand getting up in the morning because there's NO DUNKIN donuts...Dunkin is ALL good times and I want the coconut coffee (light n sweet please) back!

PLEASE!!

Baustintejas · 1 year ago

Just got back from Boston. I had the "vanilla creme" donut which they should call "birthday cake" because it is piped full of buttercream frosting (yikes). What makes the coffee so great is that it tastes like coffee smells. It is the Budweiser or Marlboro of the coffee world. I am thinking of opening my own donut chain called "Beantown" and I would basically steal all the recipes/products from DD, like "McDaniel's" in "Coming to America". Well I've said too much and used to many godamn quotations...OUT!

Kate · 1 year ago

I agree completely! I also feel that their commercials should STOP AIRING IN CALIFORNIA. It's driving me crazy. And they shouldn't be allowed to say "America runs on Dunkin'" when they have no stores in the most populated state in the nation.

Meghan · 1 year ago

NOT JUST LA... BRING IT TO SAN FRANCISCO!!!!! I agree with Kate! Stop airing your "America runs on Dunkin" commercials in CA. It's not fair until we actual have some!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When dunkin donuts stores are coming to california?!!!!!!!!!

Setter · 1 year ago

Listen up you f*ckin east coasters who transplant yourselve out here among us "natives". I'm here to tell you all to shut the f*ck up with your whining and bitching about how "bad" it is out here. Know your place and be quiet and appreciative that we let you walk amongst us. If it's so great where you came from, why are we not moving there in droves? I'll tell you why, because you and your city suck ass and you know it. So F-you to the 100th power and understand you are all 2nd rate douchebags.

louis · 1 year ago

I have to agree with the poster who took you east coast folks to task. There really is an obnoxious quality to your observations about life here in Los Angeles. You bask in the quality of life that our fine enviroment provides, yet jump at every chance to critique us Angelenos. Trust me when I tell you that we hold a level of contempt towards you and your intolerent tones. I will continue to hope for some sense of evolution on your part. Until then, Fuck all of you who continue to complain about us when the obvious remedy is to move back to that ancient, dirty, racist, cold, intolerent culture you seem to find so endearing.
P.S. A toast to you and your brethren sucking my ass.

admin · 1 year ago

Just so we're all clear here, "Setter" and "Louis" are the same poster. Apparently the natives aren't too ip-address savvy. :)

Ok carry on

LT · 1 year ago

We really need to bring DD out here. I am CA native but lived in Boston briefly, every morning I would grab a medium vanilla iced coffee (even in 20 degree weather) on the orange line before work. Although, I now commute 30 miles to work, I wouldn't mind having an iced coffee with me on the way work. PLEASE PLEASE I beg the Dunkin Donuts gods, bring one to L.A.!

morgan · 1 year ago

i will drive there every day!
french vanilla extra cream extra sugar.
*sigh* just got back from NY this morning, had a large on my way to the airport and one while getting on the plane. its raining and I would kill for another.

Dunkin Fan · 1 year ago

I NEED Dunkin Donuts. They said they are not coming out to California until 2010. Why? They would make so much money here if they opened up just 1 location. I think the Hollywood/Highland Center would be a great location.

Boston girl sad in LA · 1 year ago

I actually lie to the folks and tell them to pick me up a half hour later, so I can enjoy a cup of coffee and a two donuts at Logan... Last time I lived in LA they had a DD in conjunction with a gas station....duh that's why they didn't work here. WE need a DD...fast.....

Randall · 1 year ago

We used to have Dunkin Donuts in California. I can remember it growing up in San Diego. Slowly they all left us, I think this was far before they were contenders in the coffee game, just as it was before 'Bucks was slinging beans.

If you really crave the DD, just hop on o a jetBlue flight. I had a cup just last weekend on my way to Sacramento, and the weekend before on my way to Boston... though that just led to more DD.

Ann · 1 year ago

Please open Dunkin Donuts in Los Angeles, I hope you listen to us, Thanks

Lynda · 1 year ago

PLEASE open Dunkin Donuts in LA. It's one thing not to have them here -- I've finally accepted that I had to trade it for the permanent sunshine here in SoCal -- but must you run TV ads taunting us with DD's deliciousness? Do the right thing...open a Dunkin Donuts in LA!!

FUManny · 1 year ago

I will go every day. EVERY day. Once again............EVERY day. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE open up a DD in LA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

matthew · 1 year ago

I just moved to california from arizona a few months ago and I asked this same question to some co workers and they keep saying like they swore they saw one or whatever but i proved them wrong by saying

"Ok you find me that dunkin donuts"

after they search for it they came up with nothing!
god damnit i used to go to dunkin donuts 5 days a week and now i cant get my dunkin donuts fix!

Yana · 1 year ago

i grew up also in Boston and after i moved to Southern Cali, Dunkin Donuts is something is miss the most....

i am very happy to announce that there are currently 3 DD locations in LA, one in Torrance, in Hawthorne ave, one in Whittier and the last in San Vincente Blvd.

Smith · 1 year ago

You're looking at some outdated information Yana, the closest Dunkin' Donuts to LA is in Las Vegas.

Yana · 1 year ago

ok, i went to www.snagajob.com, they are hiring crew members in Torrance, as of RIGHT NOW, to work at the Dunkin Donuts shop there. Not Baskin, but DD. I have not been there yet, but as soon as i can make the drive from San Diego, i will!!! :)

Yana · 1 year ago

Oh,and the directions for that store are 20022 Hawthorne blvd, Torrance.

JSnark · 1 year ago

Great find Yana, I'll report this right away!

Yana · 1 year ago

I would appreciate it so much if someone dropped by there and let me know, since you live in LA, before i make the drive from down here :)

Mark · 1 year ago

Who let that San Fran wuss into the LA blog. Get back to your boring cloudy days, we don't need your overcast curmudgeonry here.

Mikatoga · 1 year ago

OK, I'm a transplant to CA from the east coast too. I love LA and I love SF. Right now I'm living in the San Jose suburbs. Stop the north-south infighting crap! We're all Californians. Those of us who relocated from the east did so to enjoy all that this amazing state offers. I'm NOT going back - but, when I visit family in Boston, you can be sure that I visit DD. I wish that they'd open some shops here. Be kind to each other, folks.

Red Sox Fan · 1 year ago

Just an FYI I have been in contact w/ Corporate DnD and they are planning a boom w/ stores to open shortly. That is all they could tell me. As you can tell Dnd just opened new stores in AZ so they are moving there way west. I love all the teaser adds on TV and in the newspapwer for Dnd.

e · 1 year ago

Dunkin' Donuts is not allowing the tough economic conditions to hamper its expansionary efforts. Although lenders are now demanding between 10 percent and 30 percent down payments to secure new franchise deals, Dunkin' Donuts plans on significantly expanding its operations in Las Vegas, Phoenix and the Dallas area, which alone will see 100 new locations over the next three years. However, it will be at least three years before Dunkin' Donuts attempts to expand into California, which has been the most successful market for Starbucks.

sfliberal · 1 year ago

You're wasting your time if you think DD is going to penetrate the California market. Just take a look at Krispy Kreme. Californian's are too health conscience to demand donuts and know good coffee so they won't want DD's weak coffee. Stick to the rest of the U.S.

And, FYI, there are more coffee places than just Starbucks in California. Peets Coffee and Tea is a great chain that serves REAL coffee and there are plenty of other Independent Coffeehouses.

Shawn · 1 year ago

Well SF you're completely wrong, but that fact that you insist on insisting people visit local coffeehouses is cute. Your capitalization is awesome too.

Dramee · 1 year ago

Dunkin Donuts is the best, I've been in NorCal all my life and I'm hoping D&D makes it's way out here. The coffee is AMAZING.

sfliberal · 1 year ago

Your logic has one fatal flaw, Craig. Northern California is not ANY DONUT land. Donuts are so 80s. The coffee from DD tastes like hot water with a coffee bean thrown in for a hint of flavor. Never gonna fly in NorCal - home of the best coffee in the U.S., along with the Pacific Northwest. Sorry to let your hopes down.

Craig · 1 year ago

Hmm, Dramee seems to disagree. You're 2 down sfliberal.

Chris · 1 year ago

People in SF don't like donuts? Since when? Tell that to my office on our weekly donuts day. Sheesh.

sfliberal · 1 year ago

Facts are against all of you. There are barely any DDs in Northern California. Let me know when there are any. I have a feeling that I will be waiting a long time. :)

Craig · 1 year ago

Dunkin Donuts in California in at least 3 years.

sfliberal · 1 year ago

Liberals speak their minds, which I am doing right now. Go to a protest. CHAINS, especially Northeastern DONUT chains, are not welcome in Northern California. We like gourmet, organic, fresh, healthy food. Go poison the rest of the country, but not our part. And we love GOOD coffee, not donut store crap. Just take a look:

http://www.viamagazine.com/top_stories/articles...

Craig · 1 year ago

If you don't like it, it's pretty easy to avoid. Go to another website and stop douching up this thread. Jesus.

Chris · 1 year ago

I'm not from Boston, I'm from San Francisco, and I'm pretty sure none of my donut-loving coworkers are from Boston either. You're wrong, stop whining.

darc · 1 year ago

GET DOUNKIN DONUTS IN ORANGE COUNTY
I hate it here because there's not friendlys nor dounkin donuts here its no fair there's like 6 star bucks in here and it tastes gross D:

Drake · 1 year ago

I'd kill for some non-overly-bitter coffee out here, bring Dunkin Donuts to California!

Tephen · 1 year ago

I'm tired of San Francisco trying to be little Seattle, let's get some real working-class American coffee out here.

Nelson · 12 months ago

Agreed, SF coffee is bitter, much like the people that can't make their way out of that area. I lived there for the first 24 years of my life and had to get out. Those clouds get to you after a while. As you can see it makes some people pretty moody :)

Dunkin Donuts coffee is great, especially the large iced coffee in summer. Throw in a Bavarian Cream and I'm good for the afternoon.

Teresa · 11 months ago

I agree 100 and 10 %. I just moved out here and am craving my morning Dunkin Donuts coffee cake muffin. I haven't ate a muffin yet that compares to dunkin donuts muffins. PLEASE bring Dunkin Donuts to Los Angeles!!!!!

jeff · 11 months ago

I moved from boston to san diego and I never thaught I would miss dunkin donuts so much.Im so sick of paying 4$ for a coffe and having to make it myself.I just want to have my large ice coffe cream extra suger and maybe a boston creme or some munchkins now and then.Please come to san diego I beg you

Jack · 11 months ago

Glad this post is getting such a good response! There are so many of us that can't bare to throw down money at "FourBucks" and can barely take the bitterness of the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Supposedly Dunkin' is coming to save us in the next few years.

The fact that there are like 4 Dunkin' Donuts locations in Vegas does give you another excuse to to Sin Cityl, what better way to stay awake all night than after a giant Dunkin Iced Coffee?

Lisa · 11 months ago

I lived in Maine for 2 years. The capital city of Augusta (a small city of 18,000) has 6 Dunkin' Donuts. I don't eat donuts, but I LOVE their iced coffee. It's bargain-priced, too, compared to what you'd get at some of the fancier locations. Upon returning to the even-smaller city of 13,000 where I live in northern CA, I was surprised to find there are NO Dunkin' Donuts here! I miss it!

sfrealist · 10 months ago

Have had six one pound bags of DD delivered to my house in CA for the last four years, but really miss the in-store experience and the cups. Hats off to LASnark for getting the discussion going and sfliberal should just piss-off.

Jack Stands · 10 months ago

Thanks for the comment SF Realist! Do they sell Dunkin Donuts grinds in the supermarkets up in San Francisco?

Jon A · 10 months ago

Oh man ... I'm thinking about moving to San Diego, but if there aren't any Dunks out that way, the deal might be off. I spent a year in New Zealand jonesing for Dunks' coffee (hell, any good coffee for that matter, but that's another issue). What good are sun and surf without a Great Big One with cream and 2 Splendas?

Roy · 10 months ago

Costco carried 2.5lbs bags of ground DD at $11.99 for a short period of time this year (they stopped around October). Target carries a 24oz bag at the same price now, and Walgreens carries 12oz bags at $6.95 -- all of these are better value than shipping via UPS from DD in the east (they stopped using USPS last year)

The best deal? Get everyone you know who comes out west to pick up a couple of 1lb bags at Logan Airport :-)

MobileJoel · 10 months ago

I just let out a big sigh towards DD. They just sent me an ad with their inauguration special. They really have no excuse for not having any locations in SoCal considering they have a Dunkin Brands corporate office (they own Baskin Robbins) near the Glendale/Burbank border. We should stage a protest in front of that office.

Missing Dunks · 10 months ago

I grew up in Northern Va and DC and I have been missing DnD since I moved to NorCal in the mid 90s - 13 years with NO Dunkin Donuts! Now I'm seeing all these teaser ads for free flat bread with a coffee and was ready to jump in my car and drive the hour and a half to Sac (google maps said there was one there, but alas, no Dunkins). Why are they advertising on a NorCal TV station if there isn't a single location in the state? It really just makes me want to cry a little bit..

Jack Stands · 10 months ago

Thanks Missing Dunks, unfortunately the closest D&D's are in Vegas. There's like 3 or 4 of them out there though.

Missing Dunks · 10 months ago

I saw that - but Vegas is nowhere near me. While I'm always down for Vegas, it doesn't explain why DnD is advertizing in my area. They got my hopes up and then crushed them .. and I have no Munchkins to get me through..

Jack Stands · 10 months ago

I feel your pain Missing Dunks, trust me. I start every morning with Ralphs-bought Dunkin Donuts coffee grinds, but it's just not the same. Subscribe to these comments (check the Notify me box below) and someone will post as soon as we have news. They must be planning something if they're spending the money to advertise out here. Plus they had a promotion in Santa Monica last summer.

Jill · 10 months ago

wishes there was a Dunkin Donuts in San Jose California.

A5RoadDogg · 10 months ago

I recently spoke to the manager at one of the Las Vegas stores (the one inside the outlet mall), and he said that they are planning to open one in San Diego by 2010. Which is awesome, because I live in San Diego. And will go daily.

He also gave me some Dunkin cups to take home, they get used daily!

Love it!

Jack Stands · 10 months ago

Oh man that's good news A5RoadDogg, thanks for the tip. We're being overwhelmed with Dunkin Donuts ads in LA. I even saw banner ads on a local LA food blog.

AnnieP · 10 months ago

We went to Boston for the first time in October and got addicted to Dunkin. I'd love to see a Dunkin in southern California, preferably in my area of Long Beach. LA doesn't need anymore coffee shops, but middle working class Long Beach residents could sure use a Dunkin! We like cheap coffee!

I've been seeing adds like crazy too and I'd really like a CA store soon!

Scott · 10 months ago

We need a list
1. Dunkin Donuts
2. Friendly's
3. D'Angelos
4. How about a Newport Creamery..i Could go for an Awful Awful

Annette · 10 months ago

Like AnnieP said, been seeing adds like crazy and not one Dunkin Donut around anywhere in Southern California. Come on Dunkin headquarters get a move on, you can see how much people want your shops here.

Jon A · 10 months ago

Scott--

5. The 99?

Chuck · 9 months ago

I just want to add to the throngs of people who want DD in CA. I'm a transplanted native of Connecticut living in LA, and I miss DD almost every day.

To anyone who thinks that DD can't co-exist in LA, SF, or anywhere that the natives are only into healthy, natural, taste-free food: you are wrong. You can drive by a few DDs while on your way wherever you're going, it won't kill you. Just let the rest of us have our fix. So, it's bad for me, I might die sooner, blah blah blah. At least I'll die happy, with DD crumbs on my face!

Scott · 9 months ago

Jon-

the 99 would be awesome as well.

Chuck-

The thing that pisses me off about the "healthy LA" argument is that there are plenty of fast food restaurants in LA. Last I heard Jack In The Box was about the worst thing you could put in your body. There is no logical reason why DD isn't here.

Tara · 9 months ago

Shut up! that would make me so happy. I miss their Bavarian Creams and my mom loves their coffee

orange county girl · 9 months ago

i think they should have some in orange county or at least somewhere around it like la because i've seen DD its pretty swanky and its healthy but there are food on the menu that is not healthy but jack in the box is worse then DD

Chuck · 9 months ago

Scott -

Good point about other fast food places already in abundance here in SoCal, although I'm not sure why Jack in the Box would be any worse than, say, McDonalds or Wendys. Furthermore, there are already hundreds of donut places here, though none of them is as good as DD!

Scott · 9 months ago

I am flying into O'Hare tomorrow afternoon. You can bet your ass DD is the first place I am going.

Chuck · 9 months ago

Very cool, Scott. I'm going to be in Florida in late March. Any guesses as to where I'm going every day? Oh, and Friendly's at least once, too!

steve · 8 months ago

Ha, I'm from Boston (Saugus). I live in LA now. There are no DDs out here, but, really? DD is, alright... at best. I feel like Winchell's and Yum Yum are basically the same. The bagel sandwiches are really good.

What was with the hostile "LA" native being all ridiculous. I have trouble believing you even live out here, chill out bro, as 'us' Angelenos would say.... Are you insulted that people from the east like DD? Strange Starbucks propaganda.

charisse · 8 months ago

I've been looking for dunkin' donuts around the san francisco area and haven't seen any. I went to florida and finally got to taste some dunkin'. I'd love to have dunkin' in sf cali. I don't like krispy kreme because I've always loved dunkin' donuts !!! bring dunkin' to daly city.

Gary · 8 months ago

Can we talk reality here. Dunkin donuts is a woosie organization. They pulled out do to the CFIL. They are afraid of being branded a scam as they cannot perform up to the standards of the California laws. This is pure Fuckery. More California lawyers now ruining our fucking cup of joe. Dunkin Donuts doesn't have the balls to stand up to the Man. Run, loosers. And take you damn good coffe with you. I'm not bitter. I'm just pissed I have to drive to Vegas to get my fucking Dunkin Donuts.

darc · 8 months ago

who cares if they will or not theyre good why don't you just try it before you start knocking it.

Walter · 8 months ago

I was born in nyc, lived in philly, and now in sf. After seeing all these new (and, frankly, annoying) tv ads i searched and was surprised that no DDs are here. Krispy Kreme is awful - 5x too much sugar. Is a proper chocolate cake donut really too much to ask?

I like cheap coffee and all, b · 8 months ago

yeah yeah Dunkin Donuts. Sure. Whatever. GET ME SOME HARPOON IPA OUT HERE...FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! just sayin... Tired of these CA "beer elitists" talkin about how the best beer in the country is made in CA. Bullshit.

yana · 8 months ago

The best beer is definetely not from CA, because what it takes for good beer is good water, and good tasting water is definetely not from California. Maine, Vermont and the Rockies win this one easy.

Farina · 8 months ago

Been seeing the DD's ad on tv advertising not just the coffee but also the donuts. Are they now FINALLY coming to CA? Anyone knows anything about this?

SarahT · 8 months ago

Born & raised in New Jersey, I grew up with Dunkin Donuts now living in CA, and the only thing you people are really craving is the nostalgia of it. The donuts are good, but run-of-the-mill. Absolutely NOTHING special about them. I do like the toasted coconut, but I wouldn't travel miles to get one.

This DD hype is reminiscent of what happened to Krispy Kreme - banking on California transplants to generate excitement. Big mistake.

darc · 8 months ago

i'd drive to arizona to get one lol
but i like only the ice coolatta a real lot i'm practically obsessed but i know how to make it but its not that big of a deal but still i'd like to go to other restaurants then the ones i go to in CA because its like a pattern on my life i need something new most of the restaurants suck compared to the others i went to in other states lol

LaLa · 7 months ago

Dunkin Donuts has to be coming to California, possibly L.A.. What other reason would they have to show ads here, this isn't part of their target audience. I hope it's really really soon. I moved from the east coast last year and I stuffed my face with bagel sandwiches over winter break when I went back. I NEEDS MY GLAZED DONUTS AND EVERYTHING BAGELS!

Scott M · 7 months ago

I'm a little surprised that until this comment - #97 - that the word 'Chicago' hasn't appeared on this page. It isn't just the east coast, us Chicago transplants were also born and raised on the stuff & miss it poorly. It's unimaginable that any large city doesn't have one, let along an entire state. The amount of Chicago natives who live out here alone will make it worth their while.

Live up to your slogan of the '80s and '90s - it's time to make the donuts!

Scott · 7 months ago

There is now a Facebook group that asks Dunkin' Donuts to come to California. Join the group here:

CH · 7 months ago

Yeah I've been hearing this for almost 10 years & I'll only believe it when I see those beautiful logo colors in person. I won't hold my breathe though since they were suppossed to open Chik-fil-A in Burbank about 5 years ago. Still waiting.
Anyway, all east coasters should know that buying Dunkin' coffee in the grocery is like buying white castle there. NOT THE SAME AT ALL!
I just hope that the thin & crappy LA water doesn't make it bitter & burnt like it is everywhere else. Finally, the only decent coffee now is Coffee Bean but I will not pay $4-$5 for coffee anymore. Give me light & sweet for like $2.
BRING IN DUNKIN'!!!!!!!!!!!

Arif Warsi · 7 months ago

Man, my wife is originally from the Bronx and she has enjoyed DD since she was allowed to drink it, especially in HS and college where I could swear people drank it's awesome brew more than water. Since she has has relocated to Cali she craves and I mean CRAVES DD coffee and donuts. We just came back from Vegas where they have a free standing store near the Las Vegas Outlet mall and one kiosk stand in the mall. It's a ritual to go there once even twice to fulfill her fond memories of the past. I have to admit, me being from Cali and never having DD until I got to NY it is the BEST coffee hands down! Please, please, bring this can to Southern Cali. We need some quality coffee not that crap that Starbucks peddles as good. If people have one cup of DD coffee they WILL be hooked, I guarantee it!

I agree. PLEASE open a Dunkin Donuts in California!! Well, you should open a few of them considering that I live in the Central Valley and we always get everything here last :(

I grew up in MI and I miss dunkin donuts so much. In a military town, where at least half the people here are transplants, dunkin donuts would be a WELCOME addition to our little corner of the world.

Daniel General · 6 months ago

Dunkin Donuts is coming to Cali. Just saw this on their twitter page (/DunkinDonuts). Posted on May 19, 2009.

@DunkinDonuts - Oh why can't you be in California. I want a Boston Creme, Strawberry Frosted with Sprinkles, and a cup of coffee!

Their response:

@lawrencegee Oh, we kin' be there (Calif) -- and, we will. Mark my words. You just gotta wait. Appreciate your patience.

PLEASE!!! come back to us here in Orange County, not just Los Angeles. Can't you Big Shot at Dunkin Donuts see how much we want you here. Read all these comments. I'm here in Anaheim, CA I'm waiting for you to make a move back this direction PLEASE.

yes please! I moved from asia recently and we got dunkin donuts and even krispy kremes all over the place, as much as there are star bucks here--even more. Thinking that "hey,am movin to san jose, california. There are oodles of donut shops there." Yikes! And what do i find...nada! No dunkin, no krispy kremes either! And all those local donuts will never do. Ever! It just feels soooooo RURAL here! Cant understand a major city like San Jose dont even have dunkin donut. Its sooo backwards! So please give me my DUNKIN!

I miss the flatbread sandwiches of Dunkins. Even though I Like Dunkin Donuts better than Starbucks I gotta hand it to Starbucks for having the balls to open their stores everywhere without fear, even in BOSTON which is the Dunkin Donuts capital!

Dunkins on the other hand is too chicken shit, to compete with Starbucks here on the West coast! Dunkins has a video on youtube claiming they beat Starbucks in a taste test. Well if Dunkins is so confident in their coffee then they should put their money where their mouth is! Open a store in CALIFORNIA!!!


What the hell Dunkins! Grow a nutsack!!!!!!
