There are interesting differences between DD spots. i think this DD consistently has the best variety in New Rochelle. If I'm grabbing dozens of donuts for work, this is my stop. One thing to watch for. DDs has separated specialty donuts into price tiers in the last year or so. I don't have a problem with this, There are a few specialty donuts each year that I wish were year round. I don't mind paying more for some. However, when I've placed online orders I realized the donut prices here were higher than other DD in town. I've seen them go up and down compared to other locations. Maybe they were seeing if they could raise prices. But be conscious of the donut prices when you go to DD--they may actually be cheaper in a DD a mile away. Other than that the food is always done right. Coffee is good. I get decaf, even in early morning when almost no one does, and they will ask if I'm willing to wait for a fresh pot to be made. Lines move quickly.
At other N.R. DDs hot coffee is way too hot to drink (with cream). I have to leave the top off and I'm blowing on it to take tiny sip that threatens to scald my mouth. If I'm grabbing something before driving to work, this means I eat my breakfast in the car, then somewhere along my commute (15+ minutes later) I can start drinking my no-longer-scalding coffee. This DD has a lower temp coffee. I can actually drink my coffee with what I'm eating. Which is actually quite nice and the way it should be. So if I'm doing the grab-a-breakfast before commute, this is my DD of choice. I always park in the upper lot as the bottom only has 4 spots and people can be dumb about getting in and out.
Most of the time, the employees here don't throw the wax paper sheet that they grab the donuts with into the bag. The slip of waxed paper is like a glove. One side has all the GERMS from their hands. The other touches the food. If the employee throws the sheet in the bag with the last donut (instead of the trash), it is like pulling a glove off and disposing of it in my food bag. This is a popular thing in N.R.DDs. When I grab your sheet to pull it off my food, I'm getting your germs on my hands. Not to mention your germs probably rubbed on the inside of the bag, where they can then rub onto my food. I've had an employee say that customers complain if they don't give them the sheet. Would you spit on the food if a customer was into that sort of thing? either you understand health codes and food handling or you don't. The customer can't require you to violate health codes. Let the pick it up with a napkin. LOL Most of the time, the people do it properly here. But I've had some revert. Honestly I think it is because they see this behavior at the other DDs where they...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWhenever I had craving for a sweet snack you can bet I simply stopped by Dunkin Donuts. The Main Street on New Rochelle had so many options for quick food but one place I always felt comfortable walking into was definitely this place. Per my observation it was a scene for people between the ages of 15 to 30. Not too many large families passed through here. They had a small sized parking lot right outside as well as one on the hill behind them.
Because I happened to enter their establishment around the same time each time I happened to always meet several donuts warm on the rack and ready. One of their tastiest products is the Chicken Snack N' Go. I think DD should do more to promote this item and I would recommend that everyone try it since it's not...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI've been here a couple of times and had excellent service, but what had happened to me today was outrageous. I ordered a donut and ice-coffee and the cashier was fine, but the individuals working behind the counter were staring at me and pointing fingers. Then as more customers came behind me their order was fulfilled before mine. When no customers were waiting for orders, they finally asked for my order number on the receipt. When I took out the receipt to read the number the staff members walked away, before I could read the number and finally began to make my coffee. I worked in the service industry before and I know what itās like to have a rush or a bad day, but this seemed to me as bullying from behind...
