The Bear Necessties Review

Dunkin’ Doughnuts iced coffee vs Starbucks iced coffee
By:Giada DeCapio

Dunkin’ Doughnuts and Starbucks have always had competition with each other for over 50 years now,
so I wanted to see whos was better. Personally I’ve always gone to Starbucks because it’s closer to my house
but if Dunkin’ is better I will drive the extra miles for better coffee. I went and ordered a large iced coffee,
it was $2.79. It was very good for how cheap it was and the staff were very nice! I felt that they could use
less ice and more coffee. When I was done I still had a whole cup of ice left. Next I drove to Starbucks for a
Trenta iced coffee for $3.45. It was good but a little too sweet for me. When we got to the window the lady
who gave us our drinks didn’t talk to us at all and felt very rushed. I ordered both of these drinks with milk
and sugar. Overall I liked Dunkin’ the best because you get good quality coffee for cheap and good custom-
er service. Since Dunkin’ has been open for 21 more years than Starbucks, Dunkin has more experience.

I had an Iced Coffee, Iced Latte, and Peach Passion creme swirl, Dunkaccino, Oreo hot chocolate, mint
Fruit Refresher. The Iced Coffee was $2.79 for a large, hot chocolate, and vanilla spice. These are a big upset,
the Iced Latte was $3.99, and the Peach Passion Fruit but some might come back during other seasons.
Refresher was $2.23 I also added cream and sugar
to the Iced Coffee which was amazing! There was an
amazing mix between coffee and sugar which made
this drink perfect for summer. The Iced Latte wasn’t
my favorite but was still good for summer since it was
nice and cool. The refresher was my favorite because
it had a big burst of peach and it’s perfect for summer
because it’s a cold drink.

Dunkin is introducing new drinks this summer.
They’re introducing new refreshers like Mango Pine-
apple and Lemonade, new coffee like Cake Batter Iced
Signature Latte, Butter Pecan Swirl and Sunrise Batch
Iced Coffee, and new food like Tomato Pesto Grilled
Cheese and Cornbread Donut and Munchkins donut
