“I was greeted really warmly by the cashier (I think her name is Diane). It felt like she was genuinely happy to be there and to serve me. The other young woman on the shift with her did not say much but worked so efficiently that my coffee was ready before I had even finished paying for my order. They were getting tons of online orders but everything was prepared quickly and no one had to wait. Food was hot and correct. It was such a pleasant experience that I would get off at that exit again just to go to that Dunkin' Donuts.“

“Delicious FRESH food made to order and always friendly service!“

“I pulled into a Dunkin Donuts right off of 95 early on a Sunday morning March 11, 2018. I had started my trip back to Virginia after an Emergency visit to my mom at the Middlesex Hospital. A dummy light on my dashboard indicated I had low tire pressure. The Toyota Dealership next door to the Dunkin was Closed. I had not had breakfast yet so I sought out the Dunkin. The employees there were THE BEST. While this very personable young lady took my order, she listened to my trouble and immediately tried to assist me all she could by finding out if the Toyota Dealership was open today and if so at what time. It wasn't, so she started contacting other people she knew who could help me with my tire issue. The young man prepared my food order. The latte was Great and the Breakfast Sandwich was perfect. The Store Manager went out In The Cold with a Tire Pressure gauge and located the tire that was low. She asked the service station attendant to assist me with Air for the tire. I was able to put air in the tire and continue home on my trip. My local Toyota dealership confirmed I had a Nail in That tire. My day could have been miserable, but these Young People stepped up and Turned it around. Thank you so much for ALL your help!! They should all be commended.“

“☺️ we love operating here at Deep River Farms.“

“Café delicioso! Donuts frescos e saborosos! Love it!“

“Brandon is doing a fantastic job managing this Starbucks. The store feels organized, clean, and genuinely friendly every time I come in. The team works well together and handles pressure calmly, which says a lot about the leadership. It’s obvious Brandon cares about both the customer experience and the staff. That kind of management makes a big difference.“
