Dunkin' Donuts in Sarasota

“I know with most Dunkins it’s kind of hit or miss but this Dunkin has been hit after hit. It’s rare to get a fresh bagel or donut from Dunkin but here it’s been fresh every time recently. The bagel sandwich today was fresh perfectly toasted and the bacon was crispy and flavorful. Also the staff here is always super nice! Super impressed by the freshness and the consistency here. My new go to breakfast place.“

“This is honestly my favorite Dunkin ever. The employees are all so joyful & kind every time I go in. I had a big order today and the sweet woman helped me bring it to my car. Have you ever heard of a Dunkin employee doing that before? Yeah me neither. Thank you fruitville Dunkin!!“

“Yes it's just like every other Dunkin donuts. They are all very similar and have the same product. The only difference is that some Dunkin donuts have there signature latte flavors for longer then other ones because of popularity and population of the town or city the Dunkin donuts is in

Parking: Plenty of free parking

Kid-friendliness: This place has plenty of kid friendly donuts!“

“I have gone to so many dunkin donuts. And I would have to say, I now have 2 favorites, this one and the one in north port. This one makes my 4 yr old happy to see her favorite dunkin ladys, they don't make a fuss when you do something different then others, I choose to put my own liquid flavoring in only because the other stores can't make my coffee properly, but they don't fuss about how I like my coffee done.. the people are awesome, the workers are awesome, the employees are even more awesome, yesenia and nita are great. If you want great coffee and great people come here. You cant find a better dunkin then this one... also I have seen some of the reviews, I believe they are confused with other locations, this store doesn't even have a drive thru. The people don't hate their jobs, they don't close at 2pm, also the bathroom inside belongs to the 711, so if the bathrooms are dirty blame the convenience store. Not the coffee shop..pay attention to those that might be misrepresenting the wrong coffee shop

Kid-friendliness: The 2 women here are awesome, my baby girl was shy at 1st but now she has really opened up to them, and is excited to see these 2 women everyday Before school. They put a smile on her face every time I bring her.. she calls them her favorite dunkin girls, and everyday we leave she says I'm gonna miss my favorite dunkin girls.. you cant find a better dunkin then this one“

“Sophie at Dunkin’ is absolutely amazing! From the moment I walked in, she was warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive. She made sure my order was perfect and went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable. You can tell she genuinely cares about customers and takes pride in her work. Her positive attitude and great energy truly made my day. Dunkin’ is lucky to have her, she’s the kind of employee that keeps people coming back. Thank you, Sophie!“

“Shout out to the beautiful Jaamor and her pretty nails. I hope she's in training for management. I was greeted with a smile the minute I stepped in the door. She was sweet/patient, while I tried to find what kind of coffee I wanted. Listen - we're an older population here and it's NICE to be treated with kindness.“

“Some dunkin' donuts are used to doing half caffeinated drinks, while other ones don't seem to understand the concept. Although I have to give this location and specifically my person taking the order a lot of credit.

She said she didn't know exactly how to do it but she was going to try and even made sure that it tasted good before I left. They were even super sweet and offered my dog to have a pup cup!

They were super friendly and even had me pull around to give my order directly to them because there were some lawn guys that were using leaf blowers and no one could hear a thing from the menu microphone.“

“I love Dunkin', for me it always represents America. Today I had coffee and a bagel here, the girl at the counter was super nice and friendly, a little chat and a smile can really brighten your day. Dunkin' is a reliable choice, and the girl was an added bonus.“

“Out of the DD from Palmetto to Sarasota, this one is my favorite and preferred. The staff are professional they won't make any unwanted comments. They are polite, friendly, welcoming. They work swiftly as they train new hires, bake and cook certain items, ,and change stock. These are the people who wake up early even before their coffee to make ours. The service is relatively quick. It does not take as long as other places. The atmosphere inside is quite, neat looking, sometimes you find a few people n working on laptops inside. Well lit and decorated nicely. From what I have experienced the staff connects they engage they remember orders they do wonderful, they are kind and friendly and helpful and patient. A majority of the reviewa I see here are for drive thru to delivery.

Ordering in person in the store is always the easiest and faster service. Mobile ordering works well so long as you are at most 5 minutes from the location. If you want warm foods such as bagels and sandwiches or wraps.

It's good to mention and note that this is a wrap around drive thru. So larger vehicles might have more difficulty queing.

It is in the middle of a parking lot as well. So between regular traffic and the parking lot and pedestrian foot traffic, your wait time is going to be extended since customers don't pay at the voice box. Each person who has ordered mobile pickup or in person att he registers will get your coffee faster at times then others. As you can't guarantee how large the cars order is in front of you. It's basic business logic.

As for the Uber eats issues. That is not always the fault of the store. You're depending on other people. Which while Uber eats has better drivers in my experience then door dash. You have to rely on the people who drive and pick up your food to ensure they are getting the whole order. If you miss drinks or certain items it's possible that between the customers at the window. And register and the possibility someone picks up your items at mobile pick-up by accident that isn't your driver. Then it's fair to say that the location and staff are not fully responsible for the mishap. Especially if Uber eats refunds you.

If you want quick food coffee then visit the inside of the store, where you can purchase cups, dog toys, and coffee pods and ground coffee.

If the wait is so long, let me be the one to remind you, they do not get paid the best, the minimum wage is controlled by the state and government. Not always is it the fault of the company. This isn't a rocket scientists job, and yet they wake up and deal with cranky moms in drive thru screaming at their children, some of the employees may be teens themselves, if you're a CEO or just simply in a rush, you should have left earlier, made your own coffee.

However out of the basic criteria to define a good branch this is the best.

As a Massachusetts person born and raised, I know a good Dunks. I also know good people and great employees. And this location shows that.

In Florida In this area a lot of the other locations it's Pervy creepy managers, teens that aren't listening, or cranky older employees and bad locations. The parking lots out here and design of the locations is sometimes meant to get you to go inside.

So for heavens sake just go inside the store if you are looking for a better experience.“
