There used to be two DD in the "LA" area back in the 80's & early 90's. One was on PCH south of Manhattan beach. I want to say around Aviation & Sepulveda. The other one was on Beach blvd & Stage Rd. I stopped eating donuts for a long time when those locations closed down. It would be really cool if they start up in Cali again!

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!!!!!!

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!

We had a few Dunkin Donuts here in Orange County, CA a very long time ago. Why they pulled up stakes and left us high and dry I have no idea. 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.

I am from New England and all I can say is I hate starbucks, the food is over priced the coffee is nasty and waaaay to strong. You need $7 to get a coffee and breakfast. I miss the yummy, easy, cheap dunkin from back home. I search them out whenever I leave the state. I LOVE dunkin. I would do anything to have one in San Diego.

Born in NH Live in San Clemente ( Orange County ).
Now dont get me wrong I love cali more then NH, better weather, more attractive people, great beaches... so on....but still...

Screw starbucks, Krispy Cremes suck, and no "cali" made beer is any good.

We need :

DD ( and yes we all know recently they started carrying in in retail stores. But its not the same )

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.

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.

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!

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'!!!!!!!!!!!

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!

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!

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.

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?

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.
