Are there really no Dunkin' Donuts out here at all?

I lived in Boston before moving here and I'm going through serious withdrawal.

I keep hearing rumors that there's one left somewhere but I don't know if it's true.

Does anyone know for sure?

What's up with East Coasters and their Dunkin Donuts?  I do not eat donuts but what makes them so good?  I think we only have the prepackaged donuts at some grocery stores.

I love Boston though.

It's not the donuts.  I actually never ate the donuts.  It's the coffee!  My god, the coffee.  

there's just nothing comparable out here.  

and also, i know there are dunkin' donuts in the midwest and as far west as arizona/nevada.  

Just none that I know of here in California.

I have looked.  There are no DDs out here in LA or in Cali at all from what I can (or rather can't) find.

Having gone back to Mass a couple times since moving I have to say though, DDs coffee isn't all that good.  Maybe my taste has changed but I am not impressed by their offerings any longer.

Dunkin Donuts is old school great coffee, and the donuts are cakey solid hunks of deliciousness, none of this spun sugar donut junk...

Yeah, they had Dunkin'Donuts out here but then there was an influx of Cambodian Immigrants that monopolized donut stores and pushed most of the corporate stuff out of SoCal. It all started with one guy. If you google it a ton of stuff will come up, but here's a NY Times article for all you east coasters who don't like the news papers out here either.

http://query.nytimes.c...

Personally I avoid corporate stuff. the whole "regular coffee" thing isn't a Dunkin'Donuts thing. It is an East Coast thing and wouldn't have ever worked at the Dunkin'Donuts we used to have out here.

Oh and BTW they sell Dunkin'Donuts coffee beans at the Rite Aid on Western and Franklin. They might have it at other Rite Aids also, but I'm not sure.

I'm so there ZR!!!  I'm originally from Boston too; over 5 years out now and have still found nothing comparable...  Yes, there IS the coffee available at Von's now, but it's $9.50 when it's not on sale ($6.99 right now if you need a fix!) for a measly, miserly 12 itty bitty ounces.  My fiance went back East w/me for the first time over the 4th and had his very first authentice Dunkin' Donut experience.  He's still in mourning, though state 7-11 coffee is close.  I say, for one born and bred on DD, nothing will ever come 'close'.  Good luck! PS-called DD headquarters a while back and was told they ARE expanding west...perhaps the recent supermarket availability is pretense for it's arrival!

They are absolutely the Best. 2 Donuts plus one medium size coffee (vinti sized in Starbucks) cost less than 1 tall coffee in Starbucks. Some of them are open for 24 Hours.

According to their website, they have a location in Oceanside.....

Yeah, Donut cultured just isn't really big in SoCal.  As Mark W said in an earlier post, once the influx of Cambodian/Chinese donut shops came about, corporate donut shops couldn't really compete.  Chains like Yum-Yum, Winchells and Dunkin for that matter rely on volume sales to make money.  Asian donut shops are all about cutting costs.  Quality is worse, service is worse, shops are dirty, etc. but they are cheaper.  So what you end up with is a bunch of small donut shops that don't really get that busy, but are profitable and attract enough business away from the big one's that they can't survive.  

Winchell's coffee is actually pretty good...and their donuts and shop cleanliness/service rival that of Dunkin.

I would say they may be growing too fast, just like Starbucks.  But my point is just that it's hardly a donut franchise these days.  It's a coffee franchise and the rest of the revenue is coming from the breakfast sandwich and the expanded lunch/dinner menu of pizza and sandwiches.  I'm actually flying to Boston tonight and I'll be hitting the DD for a coffee and sandwich when I get off the plane

After reading all this, I'm in total and complete agreement with Z.R. I've been in Los Angeles for 2 years and, being from CT, it's a serious withdrawal. Sure, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and Starbucks and even small donut shops are great, but they DON'T DO THE BLUBERRY COFFEE!!! It IS about the cofee like Z.R. says, but not just that.... who else has pumpkin coffee and muffins in the fall, or blueberry or coconut or almond coffee for a buck thirty? AND..... the bagels and breakfast sandwiches, but mostly the bagels. It's one of a kind. Sorta like the NY pizza thing. Someone should franchise it!

Why is dunkin donuts the best coffee? Because it has more caffeine then most other coffees on the general market. Check your local grocery stores. they sell the ground beans there. My suggestion, tell anyone visiting that they need to pick you up a pound or two. Most east coasters will understand your plight and soon you will have an abundance of DD coffee. But i really think what makes it so tasty is the smell of the donuts and the coffee in the same room. they all smell the same and that scent is so awesome that i get a nosebleed every time i smell it.  
I did read the different levels of caffeine in an article but i cannot seem to find it online.

Dunkin Donuts is more about nostalgia, I think.  It's the burnt coffee flavor that we remember as a kid on the East Coast.  They do have DD coffee ice cream.  I've found it in L.A., too.

i don't get it. it's just another donut shop. after spending 10 years E. of the Mississippi, i plain don't understand the obsession.

DD's coffee's no longer burnt... they do this "turbo" espresso'd coffee for cheap and it's about the only thing i'd get...

Apparently there's one in a strip mall in Long Beach.  I've never seen it personally, but a co-worker admits to having been there as a child.  However, like most childhood memories, it's hard to pinpoint the location.  

I'm a huge DD fan growing up in NJ and going to college in Boston.  It is, without humor or sarcasm, one of the few reasons I often consider moving back.  However, the new flavored iced coffees at McDonald's are a fair substitution.

I've been to dunkin donuts back east a few times and I like their coffee but I didn't think their donuts were anything special.   and yes...this thread is still going.  I don't understand the obsession either.

I am from Boston too and the first thing I do when I arrive in New hampshaaa or boston is get a medium regular. Nice and hot. Mmm  I love Dunkies coffee, its more of a treat now than anything. So sweet and sugary. The closest thing I recently discovered is McDonalds new ice coffees. I get the Regular with 1 less cream than normal and it tastes similar to Dunkies.

I know they sell Dunkies coffee at some baskin robbins but I havent seen any in this area that offer it.

Alright, for all you guys longing for DDs....I recently went to a place that looked like it. Probably not the same, but it might be as close as you get.

I had no idea this question would generate any responses.  I'm very surprised to learn that they're no more Dunkin Donuts here in California.  Like Crispy Creme, the health conscience, lighter eating fads here has driven out such business.  I'm certain there's some good donuts and coffee places everywhere.

Ok, I just came back from Baltimore/D.C., and went to one.  Gotta say the coffee is good, the service was fast, but completely rude.  Didn't like the donuts though.

Oh man!  i just got in an argument with a girl at work about whether or not there's a D&D's in L.A.  She refused to believe that there wasn't until I showed her this post.  and I completely and utterly agree with this statement from Lisa "When I was Obscure":

It is, without humor or sarcasm, one of the few reasons I often consider moving back.

Dunkin Donuts and Red Sox games are the only two things I miss about home.  I can do without the weather, the bar fights, the traffic and the weather (did I mention that twice?  It's worth mentioning twice), but Dunkin's is amazing.  

And much like other posters from above, I have taken my girlfriend back east a couple of times and now she is completely and utterly hooked also.

Finally, I have looked into franchising a dunkin Donuts in L.A. (A.) because I think it would be an absolute cash cow and I think this thread is a testament to that and (B.) because it would mean free Dunkins anytime i wanted it.  but D&D's is currently not franchising in CA.

I'm open to signing a petition if anyone wa
