If you’re an east coaster like I am you are very familiar with Dunkin Donuts. Dunkin Donuts may have the word donut in the name, but they’re known for their coffee more, if not the same as the donuts.
The donuts may not be the best you’ll find in any city, but they’re usually passable. However, their coffee is smooth and not harsh like Starbucks. I like strong coffee, but I don’t necessarily like bitter coffee.
I love my coffee and when I want a simple, not complex cup I’ll head to one of three Dunkin Donuts in Las Vegas. I have about 15 closer coffee shops closer than The D (one of many nicknames), but none offer similar cups of coffee.
If you follow me on twitter you know may know that I live near the best coffee in Vegas, Sambalatte. Sambalatte is fantastic for a high quality brew, but it doesn’t offer the same experience that DD does.
Every cup of coffee tells its own story in its own way. Dunkin Donuts is like a big hug from my friends back east with a New York or New Jersey accent.
Dunkin Donuts has been growing a lot over the past few years. This week @DunkinDonutsLV launched and I immediately followed to keep up with my local Dunkin. While I was working Monday they hada twitter contest and I was lucky enough to be chosen as a winner!
Sprinkles, Dunkin Donuts Las Vegas’ mascot (above) paid me a visit and brought along with a box of donuts (below)….
and thermos of their new Black Cocoa Creme Iced Coffee (below).
I drank the entire thermos of coffee and almost ran through a wall. The Black Cocoa Creme Iced Coffee isn’t something I’d ever think to order, but it was awesome. It was like an iced mocha without the gnarly aftertaste you often get.
Dunkin Donuts has no idea that I have a blog or that I write as they found me on my personal twitter account where I rarely talk about my writing. I don’t care if they find out, but I’m not going to showboat that I spent 20 minutes writing about this experience.
Whatever the case may be, this gave me an excuse to talk a) about coffee and b) Dunkin Donuts. Two things I like…a bit too much.
PS: You can always feel free to donate $3 to my coffee fund so I can get all caffeinated.

Have not had a DD within my radius for a long time but I do buy their packaged coffee at the grocery store. It’s good.
We used to have Winchell’s donuts (which I believe was a chain). They had amazing apple fritters. I have been chasing a fritter just as good ever since.
GG, I have the package (whole bean) DD too. I use it for iced coffee. I actually tweeted that I wanted some coffee when Sprinkles showed up at my door. 🙂
It’s not as good as getting it there, but nothing is ever as good at home. There’s a Winchell’s here too. I haven’t tried it. I remember seeing signs for Winchell’s when I used to drive up to Mohegan Sun. That’s the extent of my knowledge. 🙂
