Dunkin’ Donuts currently has over 7,000 retail locations all over the Unites States, now including Roseville. People are very excited to have the food and drinks from Dunkin’ Donuts that they may have had from another location.
Located on 5010 Foothills Blvd. It provides a yummy snack while enjoying a delicious beverage.
Dunkin’ Donuts had their grand opening on October 6, and there was a line that started in the store and ended in the parking lot. I have heard mixed reviews about their food and drinks, so I decided to try it for myself.
When it was our turn to order something, we got a plain glazed donut and a donut with frosting and sprinkles. I also decided to try their strawberry Coolatta.
The Coolattas are a drink that have a texture of a smoothie mixed with a slushie, and I ordered a strawberry Coolatta but there were three other flavors: Minute Maid orange, frozen coffee, and vanilla bean.
I thought the Coolatta was great.
Now on to the donuts. I tried the sprinkled donut first. The frosting tasted like strawberry yogurt, which I really enjoyed, but other than that, there was nothing outstanding about it.
Then I tried the glazed donut. I thought the donut was okay, but yet again there was nothing spectacular about the donuts.There were over 30 different flavors of donuts, bagels, and different types of sandwiches so they provided plenty of options for everybody. I did like the donuts, but as I said before, they tasted like any other donut. They didn’t have any different flavors that you couldn’t get anywhere else, but they had over 15 flavors to try.
Their drink selection wasn’t huge, but enough to satisfy everyone.
I think it’s best to compare this chain to a chain like Starbucks for the drinks and Krispy Kreme for the donuts. I think Starbucks has a bigger variety of drinks to choose from and easier to appeal to everyone.
I would say that both Krispy Kreme and Dunkin’ Donuts have about the same amount of choices to choose from. But with Krispy Kreme, I have noticed that their donuts are very sweet,which some people like, but if you are looking for a donut not as sweet as Krispy Kreme, then choose to go to Dunkin’ Donuts.
I would recommend this place to people because the donuts were tasty and so were the drinks. It’s not the most spectacular donut shop and coffeehouse but I thought it was good, and I think it can satisfy almost anyone.
