Dunkin Donuts to open up in SoCal

No need to head to Vegas anymore to get your fix.

    I used to drink their iced coffee by the bucketload when we visited Cap Cod in the summer. Solid donuts, the old fashioned being my favorite.

    Glad to see they're coming (back) to SoCal.

      Are you going for the donuts or their coffee?

        There are certainly better donuts and coffee to be had elsewhere, but I personally go for the nostalgia, in the same way as if a White Castle were to open up here.

        Didn't realize they'd ever left.

          I had always thought this was an east coast chain, didn't know there ever were any DDs here in LA, how interesting! Think all the hipsters that drop big dough on starbucks, peet's intelligentsia & blue bottle will feel left out? Naw, me neither....

          Drunken Nuts are coming back? The impaired drivers of SoCal are weaving in eager, bloodshot eyed anticipation...

              I never understood why Dunkin' left in the first place. They used to be all over So Cal along with Winchell's. I guess they died out in the CA "eat tofu and be healthy" craze.

              I used to go to Dunkin' on the corner or Harbor Blvd & Warner in Santa Ana heading home from Disneyland when I didn't feel like using the freeway. Across from Dunkin's was a Naugles Tacos. What a great treat at 2:30AM, glazed donuts and tacos or quesadilla from Naugles.
