Dunkin’ Donuts

Dunkin Donuts isn’t nearly as good since, instead of being freshly made, they come in frozen from a distribution center. The counter girls act like they don’t want to be there and act like they’re doing you a favor by waiting on you. Donut Connection in nearby Holidaysburg is much better. The donuts are freshly baked, the coffee is always fresh and jot since it’s brewed by the pot as opposed to huge tanks, and the girls are friendly with just the right amount of sass. Sadly, I have to patronize D.D. since its on my way to work, but to be honest, they’re really not that great.

Fast and friendly service, even thought it was crowded. Good cup of coffee and good donut. What else can you ask for.

So… another Dunkin’ Donuts. Chain donuts… Generic donuts. Not always up to snuff with other chain donuts. But they do in a pinch. Microwave sandwiches. They also do in a pinch.
The real reason I go here is the coffee. I love that stuff. Yeah, it isn’t Starbuck’s. But It is a little cheaper, has a pleasant, smooth taste, and it is better than your local convenient store choices like Sheetz or Snappy’s.
In Altoona, this particular store serves Baskin Robbins ice cream as well. I didn’t order any. But, dang, did that Spidey ice cream look tempting.
I did order a breakfast sandwich. It was less than memorable so I can’t really tell you which one it was. But it was something to get me through breakfast. I mean, it was ok. I didn’t dislike it. I remember it had hollandaise sauce on it. That blended decently with the cheese. But the muffin tasted like it was either sitting around a while or not toasted enough.
I bought a sour cream donut. It was decent. Not the best. Not the worst.
The service was ok. Fast and friendly.
Bottom line, this is a decent stop on the way to points west of central PA. The Baskin Robbins ice cream is a big plus, IMHO. So is the coffee. Everything else is typical Dunkin Donuts which means hit or miss.
If you are a donut nut (I am not), maybe try a local shop or bakery. I, personally, think they typically have better product. But, again, I love their smooth coffee. That is enough to keep me coming back.

it’s ok. no one ever says hi in a nice way. no one ever tells you to have a good day. they just hand you your order through the drive-​thru and look at you. kind of annoying. one lady, that’s it, is the nicest there. she gives my dogs munchkins and is always super friendly :)
