Dunkin or Starbucks? Let me ask you this, is good coffee or money more important to you? Dunkin Donuts can be bought with a lower price than Starbucks, but also at a lower quality. Starbucks, though, has a smaller menu and a much higher price but at a higher quality. The real question is, are you willing to justify spending five dollars on a coffee trip to Starbucks every morning? If money is more important than taste, then Starbucks may not be for you. However, Dunkin coffee with its ever-changing taste can be annoying to some, but it may be worth it to the average person with its low price. Overall, though, I would say that Starbucks arguably has better coffee.

It seems as though every time I go to Dunkin, it always tastes different, whether that be a good or a bad thing. In my experience, Dunkin is a very dirty, old, and low cost place to go for your morning coffee. Starbucks, though, feels like a clean, modern, and high cost place to spend your morning. I have seen that Dunkins’ drive  thru line is reasonable, whereas the Starbucks’ drive thru line is woven through the parking lot and takes an entirety to get through. However, once you’re through the line and you receive your drink , it becomes clear that Dunkin’s and Starbucks’ coffee is not comparable. Dunkin’s coffee is cheap but doesn’t wake you up, is sometimes too sweet or far too bitter, and messy. Starbucks coffee is expensive but it wakes you up, tastes the same every time, and it is clear that thought was put into the presentation of the drink. 

Apparently other people agree with me.. On Quora, there was a review done on Dunkin and many people agree that the donuts and coffee are cheap and not good. Customer service also tends to lock in the patience area with the customers. However,  on CustomerAffairs, it was stated that at Starbucks most worker encounters have been nice, friendly, professional and the coffee tastes great. 

If you were wondering, Starbucks can be found in every state in the United States and Dunkin can be found in every state except Alaska, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Oregon. 

If you want good coffee, go to Starbucks and if you want to save money for lesser quality coffee, go to Dunkin.
