We go to a Dunkin' Donuts almost daily, and when we don't, Dunkin' Donusts coffee is brewed at home. I (Rob) grew up in Quincy, MA, the home of the first Dunkin' Donuts and have been drinking their coffee since I was ten (for decades, enough said). It's the BEST coffee ever. Tom drinks their unsweet iced tea, and we agree there are no better.We also LOVE their sandwiches- Bacon,egg (no cheese for us) on a bagel is the best. In fact, we eat that sandwich for dinner once a week. The bagels, muffins and of course, donuts are great, too - and if you eat them in moderation and exercise daily, there's no worry about weight gain and you get tasty treats.
Recently, Dunkin' Donuts announced a couple of possible changes!
1) Dunkin' Donuts May Drop the "Donuts" from their Store Name

NEW YORK (AP) — Dunkin’ is thinking about dumping “Donuts” from its name.
A new location of the chain in Pasadena, California, will be simply called Dunkin’, a move that parent company Dunkin’ Brands Inc. calls a test. The Canton, Massachusetts-based company said Thursday that a few other stores will get the one-name treatment too.
The chain wants people to think of its stores as a destination for coffee, although it will still sell doughnuts. Dunkin’ Donuts said it won’t make a decision on whether it will change its name until late next year, when it expects to start redesigning stores.
2) Dunkin’ Donuts is reducing its doughnut menu at 100 Mass. locations
Dunkin’ Donuts is testing an abbreviated doughnut menu at 1,000 locations nationwide.
A minimum of 18 “core” doughnuts will be available to customers at the chosen spots during a period of testing meant to simplify the menu and improve service. Then the company will analyze customer feedback to decide whether the move will be permanent, according to an emailed statement from the company.
“This test does not impact any Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants in Boston at this time,” the statement reads. A company representative would not expand on which stores are considered part of that Boston market. However, the representative did confirm that the test will include about 100 restaurants in Massachusetts’s Bristol County and locations in the Providence, Rhode Island, market.
