I’ve been to this Dunkin several times since it opened. The first few days, I completely understood that a new location needs time to work out the kinks. But we’re over a month in now, and apparently remembering that customers are waiting is still one of those kinks.
Today’s adventure involved two blueberry muffins. That’s it. Two muffins from a mobile order. I was asked to pull forward in the drive-thru and proceeded to sit there for almost 10 minutes waiting for what I can only assume was an extensive muffin preparation process.
Eventually, I went inside to see what was happening. There were two employees working near the register and three customers, who appeared to be a family, at the counter. The gentleman helping me simply said, “Sorry, I forgot about you.”
At least he was honest.
Unfortunately, this isn’t an isolated incident. I’ve had coffees made incorrectly, sandwiches messed up, and excessive wait times on multiple mobile orders. On more than one occasion, including today, I’ve also watched customers come back inside because something was wrong with their coffee. Today, one customer was returning a coffee that apparently wasn’t even lukewarm.
I’ve personally been handed decaf when I ordered regular coffee, which is a pretty impressive mistake for a place with “coffee” as one of its main reasons for existing.
When you start recognizing other customers returning drinks because you’ve seen it happen multiple times, it stops feeling like an occasional mistake and starts feeling like part of the experience.
Mobile ordering is generally supposed to make things faster and more convenient—not turn your coffee run into a missing-person investigation.
And apparently this location is related to the Dunkin just down the street, which explains another favorite policy: ask for less ice and get charged an extra 50 cents. Apparently receiving more of the beverage you actually purchased is now considered a premium upgrade.
I was genuinely hoping this new Dunkin would be a great addition to the area, especially considering a couple of the nearby locations already leave a lot to be desired.
Unfortunately, so far this one appears determined to join the family tradition.
Two blueberry muffins. Ten minutes. Forgotten in the drive-thru. Wrong coffees, decaf surprises, customers returning drinks, and somehow an extra charge for less ice.
America may run on Dunkin, but at this location, you might want to bring a chair.
As an update because I don’t want to write another review. When I got home, my two blueberry muffins were actually chocolate chip muffins.
Update — October 15, 2026:
Well, good news: I actually got a blueberry muffin today. Progress!
Unfortunately, apparently consistency is still asking way too much. Today’s muffin had barely any sugar on top, which is especially impressive considering this is something Dunkin’ should be able to make the same way every single time.
At this point, I honestly can’t tell whether this location has absolutely no quality control or whether they’ve simply reached the “customers will take whatever we give them” stage.
Either way, I’m done with this location. And after enough experiences like this, I may be done with Dunkin’ altogether. When getting a consistent blueberry muffin feels like playing the lottery, something is seriously wrong.
Great job, Dunkin’. You somehow managed to make buying a muffin unnecessarily complicated.
