My Favorite Starbucks food and drinks

Iced Chai Latte

This is my all time go to drink. I enjoy it with oat milk, cinnamon, and vanilla sweet cold foam. This drink makes my day automatically better and it is yummy to sip or chug. It has the perfect flavor of spices but more cinnamon based. The oat milk gives it almost more of a natural flavor instead of it becoming more bland with 2 percent milk. 

Pink Drink

This is my summer drink. I prefer it with coconut milk because if you just get water with it then it makes a lot of the flavor go away. I also remove the dried strawberry inclusions they add because the texture kind of freaks me out and I do not like them. With my special changes this drink is top tier. 

Vanilla Bean Frappuccino

This is the best basic drink there is. You can obviously add really anything to it if you want because it is such a versatile base for all. Even alone though with just the vanilla flavor, it is so good. I get this drink when I want something other than just an iced drink and I always end up finishing all of it.

Bacon Egg Bites

Although eggs are usually just associated with breakfast, these delicious bite sized treats are good for eating whenever and wherever. They are so fluffy and I genuinely savor every bite and get sad when I have none left. They are great if you are on the go and need a good little grab.

I hope they never get rid of these because they also have egg white ones but they do not hit the same.

Everything Bagels

I feel like these are extremely underrated but if you get this toasted and add cream cheese they are a perfect study snack. When I need to lock in to write a paper or get homework done, I take my stuff to starbucks and pair an everything bagel with the yummy cream cheese and get a chai latte and I cannot think of anything better. 

Dunkin Donuts Review

Dunkin Donuts, which is one of largest coffee and donut chain brands in the United States, has the best and biggest variety of menu options. Not only do they provide many different breakfast options but they provide a large variety of drink options. However the star of their menu is their wide variety of coffee options. Here are the top 

Dunkin Donuts Iced Americano comes in last place. This drink allows you to taste Dunkins’ espresso brand without all of the add-ins like sugar, creamer, and flavoring. This drink, although preferred by some people, has a burnt taste and is incredibly bitter. It is also very bland and only gives that coffee taste which is very boring when there are so many flavors to choose from. Considering the lack of appeal to this drink that is why it is ranked last.

The Dunkin Donut drink in fourth place is the Blueberry Iced Coffee. Unlike a lot of coffee shops or chains that provide other flavoring syrups like vanilla, caramel, and mocha. Dunkin has a blueberry flavor which is usually asked for in Dunkin’s standard ice coffee or cold brew. Although blueberry flavored drinks usually have an appealing taste to them, Dunkin’s blueberry coffee is not very great. It does not have the right flavoring to go with the name, and blueberry flavoring should simply not be in coffee. 

Dunkin Donuts Caramel Swirl Iced Coffee comes in third. The drink has a good amount of creamers and other add-ins, so that the sweetness does not overpower and the coffee is still present. However the caramel flavoring gives more of a chocolate flavor. Also most of the time this is ordered it is not mixed well, a lot of the syrup is sitting on the bottom. 

The Caramel Craze Iced Signature Latte from Dunkin comes in second. This drink gives the perfect amount of caramel and cinnamon flavors and a well blended latte base. It also comes with whipped cream with caramel and cinnamon toppings that brings the whole drink together. These toppings are also removable upon request. However this drink does have a very sweet taste to it, and may be overpowering for many coffee drinkers. Although the coffee flavor is still present among sipping.

The best Dunkin Donuts drink is the Ice Vanilla Latte with cold foam. This drink gives options to sweeten it up with the additions of cream and sugar and make it less sweet by leaving it plain with no cold foam. Even with these additions, this drink is a simple go to basic. Everyone, coffee drinkers or not, will find this latte tasty.

Dunkin Donuts Review

By: Olivia Cogswell

Dunkin Donuts is a  well known food chain. People enjoy the fact that they serve breakfast all day and have a wide variety of drinks and food, specifically caffeine. They are also known for the wide variety of donuts, munchkins, and other bakery items. However many people do prefer to buy Starbucks over Dunkin, even though Dunkin is cheaper, faster and better in general. 

Dunkin’ Donuts has a wide variety of coffee. You can get it hot or iced and it comes in three different sizes. They have lattes, cold brew, Americanos, Macchiatos, Cappuccinos, and Espresso; that you can fully customize to make your own. You have the ability to add sugar, syrup, espresso shots, cold foam, and so many more options to get the desired drink that you want. They are fast and affordable coffees that are anywhere from three to eight dollars. Starbucks, however, gives you the same options to customize your coffee, but the price can be double that of a Dunkin coffee. People also tend to wait in line awhile to order and even longer to get their coffee.

Dunkin also serves breakfast all day long. They provide a variety of different breakfast items to choose from such as: sandwiches, wraps, hash browns, bacon, bagel minis, and  a variety of bagels, muffins and donuts. On sandwiches you can get sausage, bacon, or turkey bacon, cheese, and egg. You can also customize the sandwich to not include those toppings, as well as the choice of bread including, English muffins, bagel, croissant, or sour dough bread. The sandwiches are made hot and ready and only cost around three dollars. You can also choose from a variety of donuts and a variety of numbers that you want. Dunkin also provides a wide variety of munchkins which are donut holes. This allows you to try more of the flavors they provide. Also in the bakery section, Dunkin has bagels and muffins, while providing many different flavors and toppings.

With that being said, Dunkin’ Donuts provides the most variety of breakfast and coffees at the lowest prices. With fast serving and hot and ready food, people should go to try.
