Dunkin’ Donuts

Great location but the parking lot is tiny. I would love if there was a drivethru but you have to park and get out.

When I used to live in Roselle many years ago I would visit this DD often. Back then it wasn’t that great. Indeed, it had a rather depressing combination of tired looking staff and a worn down interior *and* exterior. Worse, the immediate area (meaning a one block radius) surrounding this DD has definitely seen better days (I’m thinking it started to nosedive somewhere around the 70’s, but that’s conjecture on my part). In all honesty I went to this DD looking to get a bagel after trying to go to five other stores without success (but that’s a different story altogether).
Anyhow…fast forward to 2013 and man I was surprised! The outside and inside of this DD has been completely renovated, matching the more modern look most of their stores have adopted with lots of brown tile, wood panels and a much cleaner look overall. The staff was energetic and even more surprising: welcoming (NOT a word I normally associate with DD). The guy who rung me up (who I believe was also the manager) was joking around and super enthusiastic and it was infectious.
The bagel I picked up was good and the coffee was hot and tasty. Two thumbs up from me, I’m very happy this place has changed for the better!
