Double D in da house

A Dunkin' Donuts just opened near my job and of course I had to check it out.  One big reason was because the franchise is fairly new to the California market, so I never had their donuts before.  They started in Orange County about a year ago and slowly spread outward until just last week when they opened one near me.

Even though they were never here until very recently, their TV commercials still broadcasted in our area, giving a "you can see but you can’t touch" mentality, making you want something from their menu even more!  We got Yum Yum Donuts, which I think would be the closest comparison to DD, but seemed more like a lower tiered version of them.  But no offense to Yum Yum as their donuts are pretty good.

I couldn't go in during the grand opening as it looked way too crowded, so I decided to wait until the weekend to swing by.  I kept things simple by ordering two strawberry frosted donuts with sprinkles and an iced latte.  The results: mediocre.

The donuts were good, but for the iced latte I wanted French Vanilla, but instead I got a Mocha flavored drink; which for me Mocha tastes like ashes.  Bleh!  I was able to choke down about half the cup until I was forced to toss it away because it tasted so nasty.  So as you may have suspected, for my first time trying Dunkin' Donuts, it wasn’t the awesome experience I was planning it to be.

But even though this order was bad, I'm sure there is a drink for me that I'll like.  Based on what I see on their website they have a good selection to pick from, so I'll give them another shot and see what the next drink is like.
