Starbucks vs Dunkin’ Donuts
I’ve been trying to think of the very first time I went to Starbucks. For the life of me I can’t remember it. I know, I know, it being such a monumental occasion and all…. All the drama that had been going on in my life must’ve clouded my “w w w . memory”. (Now I’ve got that song stuck in my head. Aarrgh!) If it means anything to you Starbuckers, I don’t remember the first time I had Dunkin’ Donuts either.
Anywho, as far back as I can remember, I’ve always like Starbucks. I love their drinks, especially an upside down Caramel Macchiato. And their White Chocolate Mocha. And their Gingerbread and Pumpkin Spice Lattes. I also especially love their cups. I used to buy them all the time. It was just a “thing” for me. And look out when they’re on sale! Almost every cup we own is a SB cup. We even have SB travel mugs. Like 6 of ‘em. Do we really need 6 travel mugs for the two of us? Actually, when I saw the glittery pink one I just HAD to have it, so YES, we do need them.
Then one day a funny thing happened. A friend of mine gave me a bag of French Vanilla Dunkin’ Donuts coffee beans. It has to be the best home brewed coffee I’ve ever had! Another day I was out shopping (who me?) and there was a Dunkin’ Donuts nearby. I got some coffee and it was delicious! On a road trip with Hubby, we stopped to get gas and a DD was inside the store. We got some coffee and breakfast. It was GOOD! Then on the way to and from the Yankees World Series parade, my friends and I stopped, oh, 4 or 5 times? for coffee at DD. Now I’m feeling drawn to Dunkin’ Donuts instead of Starbucks. Can I say both are my favorite?
What’s YOUR favorite, SB or DD? Leave me a comment and tell me your favorite drink there!

Pumpkin Spice is amazing! Being that I am new member of the “coffee” drinking world, I have never tried “DD”. I will have to give it a try. So far most of the coffee I have tried outside of “SB” (and my own of course) remind me of why it took me so long to become a coffee drinker in the first place. hee hee

Dunkin Donutes ROCKS!!!!! However, I cannot have much coffee it kills me. But when I do DD is the one. Whats their motto? American runs on Dunkin!!!
