Dunkin' — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Extremely difficult handicapped access. Stale donuts ae served in the morning as they keep their old donuts from the day before. The entrance if way to over crowded and one has to squeeze through to get to the front door. The bathroom is often filthy and littered with dirty toilet paper and water is all over the floor. It is not maintained at all. The employees are not courteous at all and the coffee is 2nd rate, just maybe a notch above Starbucks. The specialty drink however are not. The cappuccinos, lattes, and such are horrendous. The breakfast sandwiches are way to greasy and the bacon doesn't even seem . I wish they had a less diabetic inducing donut. Everything they have is just covered in frosting and fake candy bits. It really is not all that great. Mediocre donuts and coffee. You are gonna get the same experience if you go to a 7-11. The only difference would be is that this place has wi-fi, but it is spotty and often kicks you off. The residence in the apartment building upstairs are all using the signal as well as the stacks of people outside hoovering around the building trying to pick the signal up. In a contest with Krispy Kreme and Winchell's which both have a location close by, this place would come in 3rd. Go to Winchell's on Vine. At least at Starbucks you get your iced tea and coffee refills free. This place has sub-standard everything and the...

I walk in, no one makes eye contact, and I soon see why. There's a sign telling customers to use the touchscreen kiosk to order. I carefully select a dozen donuts, pepsis, and pay. Then, the receipt prints out and the nice lady behind the counter starts trying to match up the donuts I selected with the half-full trays in the display. Half the donuts are missing, and there are several I didn't see on the menu so I just tell her which donuts to pick like a normal donut shop. Then, she brings me two blue gatorades. I ask for pepsis, and she explains that there are no sodas left. I don't feel like asking for a refund, so I take the drinks I didn't order and the donuts I didn't order and decide to write a critical review.

I see a future where the nice lady is fired and replaced with a robot. Somehow, they still haven't connected the robot to the store's inventory, so when you order donuts that don't exist, the robot will scoop up the air where the donut should be and carefully place it in your box. The drink machine will be broken, but the robot will use it anyway, and all you'll get is carbonated water. You'll be grateful you got any food at all, so you'll hop in a self driving taxi with a wobbly wheel and write the bad review while choking down a moldy donut with robot grease stains on the sides. And no one will read that...

There is now a Dunkin' Donuts in Hollywood! Do I really need to say more? Well...okay....for those that might not have ever been to a Dunkin' Donuts, here is a little more info. Obviously this is a donut shop. They offer up the standard fare of donuts and breakfast pastry items. They also have a small selection of breakfast sandwiches (think egg McMuffin without the Mc) that are actually pretty good. The donuts and breakfast sandwiches are not the reason to get excited about a Dunkin' Donuts opening in Hollywood though. On the other hand their coffee is a good reason to get excited. There is nothing exotic about Dunkin' Donuts coffee and Starbucks fans may even find it somewhat boring. If you just want your coffee to be coffee though, you cannot beat Dunkin' Donuts coffee. Their coffee is perhaps the best "normal" full flavored coffee I have ever had. As an added bonus you don't have to sign over the pink slip to your car to afford a large coffee from Dunkin' Donuts every morning. This location just opened up in the ground floor retail space of a new luxury apartments complex on Hollywood Blvd. As such, this is a very clean and well lit Dunkin' Donuts. My only complaint is that they are not open 24 hours like the Winchell's...
