This was the first Dunkin' location on the West Coast, I was told in 2015. And some days, you just need a donut. So, why not go to the experts? The service was excellent and clearly in demand since their waiting area was at its COVID era maximum and since they had a Help Wanted sign by the register. Ask me about my day 10 Munchkins from now. Trust me, everything will be better. read more

Dunkin' - Donuts. - Donuts Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Went to grab a 50 count of munchkins for my coworkers before work. I politely asked Cesar to check if they had fresh munchkins in the back because the ones displayed looked dry and they were only a few left (not enough for 50 ) I politely asked if he could grab some fresh munchkins in the back for my order it is they are all the same. I'm gonna have to grab them anyway so instead of doing his job and restocking the munchkins the same time I asked for fresh ones he decided to be lazy worker and also deny decent service will be the last time I visit here for anything, so much for free donut day, these employees are lame n it shows. read more

I love Dunkin' Donuts and I live right near this one but it has got to be the worst location in terms of service. They are often completely out of donuts hours before they close. The workers seem so unhappy and they often tell anyone in line to order using the machine because they are not available to help. This is not helpful when you have questions or you want certain donut holes for example. I really hope this location can improve their service because it creates a negative view of Dunkin and I love their donuts! read more

Fast friendly service. Clean and convenient location. The egg whites hit the spot for a quick healthy-ish breakfast. Inflation is real...egg bites and medium iced coffee came to nearly $12. read more

Dunkin' - Seating and counter area - Donuts Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Went today to go get a free coffee with purchase for national coffee day and unfortunately had one of the rudest encounters with an employee. Being very aggressive when I ordered and gave me attitude when I was just trying to order. Then when my drinks were done she put them by the window and threw the straws on the counter. Maybe she's miserable because she looks like it. Very disappointing and uncalled for. read more

Dunkin' - Sad - Donuts Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Donuts and breakfast sandwich was inedible. I tried one of the donuts and threw them out. It just weren't worth sharing with friends. The breakfast sandwich tasted like plastic or freezer burn and taking a bite and throwing that away too very disappointing. . read more

Donuts - 4 stars Food - 2 stars Service - 3 stars The donuts are consistently good. Since Dunkin is rebranded by dropping the "Donuts" they might wanna step up and improve their drink and food. The hash brown bites are no longer spicy like I prefer. They were warm but could've been crunchier. Will no longer bother with the food. The All Day Breakfast Wrap (for meat I chose turkey sausage) had enough sausage but is subpar fast food. Only the warm melted yes processed cheese was enjoyable. At least the prices were decent for breakfast choices. At $1.69 a donut, still a great value and taste. They are fresh and light. Some flavors like the yummy Cookie Dough Crumble are $.30. It helps to label all extra priced ones like the Long Johns. -Boston Creme - they make the best one. Good amount of custard and the Chocolate frosting is perfectly sweet. -No Cruellers made today early on a Saturday what the heck? That's one of my faves. Their Munchkins are a guilt-free small bite! If it's busy they recommend ordering at one of two kiosks for quicker service. Service is ok. Please offer a receipt. Plenty of indoor and out seating. Appreciate their own parking lot, too and Curbside Pick Up. read more

this is the worst location! the staff is so rude, they will just leave you standing there with no offers to help. this should be listed as a order online only location. they expect you to place your own order, self pay, and leave they a** a tip. if it wasn't for latasha working there, this place would be empty. dd please get with your staff..... remember, randy's donuts is right down the street. with all that being said; your place is clean at least. read more

Just okay. There are so many independent owned places around LA that do a killer job. This place is run of the mill and very corporate. The service is mehhh, The donuts are just okay and not inventive nor very fresh tasting. The ambience is like any corporate donut place. I suggest you try out DK donuts instead. read more

NEVER GO HERE!!!! I hate doing this, but we've had enough with this place. Soooo much money wasted on food that's burnt and poorly made, drinks that aren't even what we ordered. And the staff are HORRIBLE and MISERABLE people. We don't even feel safe eating this!! This was THE LAST STRAW. And the manager was as even working. This was $25 worth of waste of time. Why even have the store open if the employees are so miserable read more

This is only regarding the donuts-- they just aren't good. I've tried this location more than once to be fair and both times I ended up tossing the items. 3 stars because the employees are very pleasant and kind. The donuts tho.. not good. Specifically "fresh" donuts taste stale. Glazed donuts taste and feel "wet"-- just gross. read more

Dunkin' - Fake Apple Fritter - Donuts Near Me - Santa Monica, California

There was still half an hour before closing time, but they had already started. Unfortunately, that also meant I had to stand there and wait to be served. The shop uses a computer to order, and I absolutely HATE that. The employee had to help me anyway. It was clean and very generic. I think I'll stick to my local donut shops. read more

Horrible service! Frozen coffee tastes horrible. The management needs to be more on top of this! Ambiance is okay. Just remember bad coffee makes people have a bad mood read more

Was here this past weekend with my daughter. The two guys who were working, were extremely courteous and friendly. They were very patient as we made changes to our breakfast sandwiches! They had tables that we sat at and enjoyed our drinks. Good for a quick, inexpensive bite. read more

Santa Monica runs on Dunkin'! Great location. Both indoor and outdoor seating. ATM inside. I live close by and come here every now and then to get a cream cheese bagel. The line goes quickly and the employees here are nice. They don't have a drive through window here, and parking can be difficult to find. Wilshire is a bust street, there are plenty of meters but they are occupied most of time. read more

Went here to get a cold brew. First thing I notice is their FILTHY door that looks like it hasn't been wiped down in months. Really this is the impression regarding sanitation you want to make on your customers? Hand prints all over the glass. Photo doesn't do it Justice. Literally looks like it hasn't been sprayed and wiped in 6 months. I got to order and the girl at the counter says "sorry we are only taking kiosk orders right now" Sooo.... Tell me you don't want to do your job without using those words. If I have to do your employees' job Dunkin I expect a discount. I get my coffee, and no cream in it. So even when I put my order in for you ya still can't get it right? Bunch of clean geniuses over at Dunkin. I'm grossed out by the lack of sanitation and competence. Get it together. read more

Did Dunkin change the ingredients for the French Crueler? I just purchased 3 of them and tried to eat only 1. The Donut left my mouth and lips greased and oiled. The donut itself wasn't as sweet as usual however it was extremely greasy today. Sadly this is was my favorite donut but I can't even eat the other 2. My tongue even has a greasy film over it. My lips aren't even chapped anymore. This is crazy. What has Dunkin done to my favorite donut today. Disappointed read more

Dunkin' - A greasy mess of a beautiful looking donut. Used to be my favorite - Donuts Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I don't know what to say about this Dunkin. It's a Dunkin. They sell donuts, coffee, and breakfast sandwiches. There's no free parking (that I'm aware of), but there are usually metered spots open close enough near-by that it isn't too much of a hassle. They don't have a drive-through at this location, which is a bummer. So you will have to go inside. Everything you'd expect from a Dunkin you'll find it here. So why only 2 stars? Normally I'd easily give a Dunkin 3 or 4 stars. Well, it comes down to customer service. EVERY TIME I have gone to this Dunkin Donuts, I've always been helped by the same employee. And EVERY TIME he's been a total jerk. Now, NORMALLY I would chalk this up someone having a bad day, and I wouldn't include it in a review. But it happens EVERY TIME. It's always the same person, and they're ALWAYS rude. Now I don't mean they openly insult me, or are yelling at me, or call me names, or anything as overt as that. They just have a really bad attitude. They act impatient when I'm ordering, they don't answer questions, they get frustrated if I ask for a donut they don't have. I was validated in feeling this way when my wife came with me to Dunkin one time (usually I go alone) and THE SAME person helped us and after we left my wife said, "Man! They were a jerk!" I get that not everyone likes their job. But come on. I have literally not gone to this Dunkin because I haven't wanted to deal with this person. I know that's silly (it's completely silly), but it's true. read more

Great and fast service. Super nice staff and good quality food and coffee. Love this location

Back to being better! Mixed it up this time with a hot coffee dark roast 2 pumps SF Vanilla, 1 pump SF coconut, Splash Almond Milk, Splenda This may be my new fave mix up I usually do the same order but iced and with 1 pump SF blueberry instead of coconut read more

I am surprised by the amount of hate! I love DD and associate it with good memories of traveling to Boston, where I ritually have a coconut donut and a blueberry glazed on each visit. This one is conveniently located many thousand miles closer to where I live and is a great stop-off for a post-run indulgence. Sure, maybe you can't get a lavender-moon-harvested-himalayan-salted-biodynamic variety here, but for basic, classic DD flavors, this place is great! Sometimes, you just want a donut's donut, you know what I mean? I'm no donut connoisseur, but this place does the trick. Moreover, you can get a legit almond milk latte for a lot less $$$ than all other coffee shops around the area! Other random notes: Tots are delicious! Service is fast! read more

Dunkin' - Coffee and donuts - Donuts Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Thee absolute worst, waited 10 minutes nobody in line in front go back to put more money the parking meter come back somebody got ahead they took forever to order there donuts, I gave up ... could not get any service at location, really sucks read more

I stopped in for a quick iced tea after Great Labels. The price was good, and the service was friendly. We don't really have these in Northern California so I don't know much of the chain other than a friend of mine used to swear by their coffee. I'm gluten and dairy free so I'm definitely not their target audience, but I ordered the drink after calling my Lyft and it was both made and drank before the car came to pick me up for the next shop - so I appreciated the brevity. All in all, not a bad location. read more

Sigh I really wanted to give this place A good rating but that won't be happening . I got an iced coffee and it tasted incredibly water down. I asked for cold foam and they literally put whipped cream. I also asked for light ice and they put an incredible amount despite me asking. Very disappointed. read more

This review is based on issue with parking. The parking guy in the back (behind Dunkin) will harass you for some validation, which the store will not provide and the parking guy will harass you more for validation when you are back. I'm not returning because I can't buy coffee here in piece. Employees of Dunkin will tell you different things, one that they don't validate, other one that they don't have parking, and parking company for the parking guy will be useless. read more

I love how this place always has a positive vibe. While I was here with my husband we appreciated how the staff efficiently worked through an order rush (mobile and in person), then in the end complimented/encouraged each other: the girl announced an order that was ready then she said "Good job team!" That's really great because we go to Starbucks too but they never encourage each other, though I've heard their staff complain and talk shit about fellow staff mates who aren't there...so, indeed, I think your team at this location does an AMAZING jobeveryone here needs a raise STAT!!!! For real though I've also come here before when I didn't have money, yet they treated me with respect and dignity. Very rare in businesses these days, never goes unnoticed. Thank you. The positivity here makes everything taste better! Special shoutout to Brian and April for being so awesome! They are hard workers yet also very friendly and courteous to customers. Thanks Brian for telling us about your favorite donut! Every time we eat a blueberry cake donut we think of you read more

Dunkin' - I love being an entrepreneur - Donuts Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Today I stopped to get two dozen donuts. I decided to also order a cup of coffee because I thought it would be easy to get. After all, all they had to do was pour the coffee into the cup and had it to me. After getting my donuts I waited for my coffee for at least 5 minutes. So, I asked the not so friendly lady behind the pick up area if I could have my cup of coffee and take off. She replied that they were working as fast as they could and that I had to wait my turn. She was doing nothing except pealing labels of cup and re sticking them on. Then after a few minutes she said to me. Your cup of coffee it's going to take about 15 more minutes because we are now making a new pot of coffee. That's when I said to her to keep the coffee. I guess Il just go somewhere else for better donuts and costumer service. read more

All of the staff are friendly! Always want to make everyone happy! Thank you for making my mornings to work easier!

I have recently started going here pretty often, I order the same thing every time a iced chai with cold foam. Some employees don't make it the best, it's toooo milky but I'm always looking for this employee named Emma. She goes above and beyond for the customers and makes the drinks perfect. I know it's such a small thing but it goes a long way. She should definitely be recognized. Thank You! read more

I don't drink coffee - however, I'm actually posting a review of this location, because after a few visits, mainly because one of my friends grew up in Chicago - and grew up on Dunkin' Donuts - I'm commenting on the service. Each time (2), I had a smoothie. They're fine. Not so great I'd drive to Santa Monica just for it - but decent enough that I ordered it again, when I was here the other day. Each time though (2), service was pretty bad. This time around - after paying for my order, the cashier just looks at me while I'm waiting for my change like I'm the one with an problem. When I ask for my change and show her my receipt, it was as if I was burdening her, due to her mistake. No apology. Just all attitude as she did what she had to do to complete the transaction. Then, I went over to the pick up counter and I asked for the restroom key code and let the employee there know, that I would be going to wash my hands. I had barely finished and closed the door and I can hear the employee yelling out my number. Again, with attitude. Probably because I didn't respond immediately. Now, I understand she sees lots of people and probably didn't remember me letting her know I'd be right back - so that's not my issue. My issue is the attitude of not just one, but two of the employees I encountered there. The attitude from the second person was sharp enough that as I approached the counter, I could hear other customers, who were waiting on their drinks, trying to explain that I was on my way. I've had many conversations with people about my feelings towards the decline of customer service these days. My experiences with DD, specifically at this location, only reinforce those feelings. read more

Dunkin' - Strawberry Banana Smoothie - Donuts Near Me - Santa Monica, California

This location switched to kiosks which equals chaos. Without a human taking your order, decisions on a dozen can get very lengthy. The simplest orders take 3x longer than they should. Woman in front of me took about 5 minutes to pick her perfect dozen... all I wanted was a small coffee... God grant me the serenity. Bring back human interaction! read more

I couldn't believe it! We finally get Dunkin Donuts! I was such a big fan prior to them coming back to Socal and for some reason their donuts didn't taste the same. As always I had to have my Strawberry Donut! It was good, but a little doughy. Maybe it's because we went late at night, but I will definitely go away. read more

They're donuts, people. Pillowy, sweet creations with Boston cream inside. (cue Homer Simpson drool) ===================== Yes, I'll admit it. I drove half an hour for donuts. This fatso remembers how awesome this chain was during his days on the East Coast. How their coolattas would keep him chill during the dog days of summer with 100% humidity. How their steaming cup of large black hazelnut coffee would keep him warm during those bitter winters where the cold seeps through the earmuffs. Anyway, this place is a Hollywood-ized version of the East Coast shops. Brand-new flat screen TV menus, cool lounge chairs with cushions. But do they still live true to their namesake from Beantown? Yes, they do. We got the half dozen (including Boston Cream, maple cream, Bavarian cream) as well as a large black hazelnut coffee. Well, at least, that's what I ordered. They were frantically trying to fill the orders and poured a regular black coffee for me. The Boston cream was THE BOMB. This was an excellent pillowy soft donut, with a not-too-sweet chocolate coating, filled with their signature custard. My better half liked the maple cream - crunchy, sweet maple glaze on the surface of the donut sealed the deal. Too bad this is so freaking far away, otherwise I would make DD runs for the office (ahem). read more
