“Wonderful location with very courteous and friendly staff. Store Manager On Saturday morning was wonderful. Our Girl Scout Troop did a cookie booth there and he checked to make sure we were doing well and everyone was so welcoming. We have a choice of Dunkin Donut locations and I will be choosing this one every time!“

“Karen is genuinely one of the biggest reasons I enjoy going to Dunkin late at night. Working the midnight shift cannot be easy at all, especially after long hours and dealing with tired or impatient customers, but Karen always manages to keep such a positive attitude. Every time I come in during the night, she’s welcoming, friendly, and hardworking no matter how busy it gets 😊

The night shift atmosphere feels completely different when Karen is working. She keeps the energy positive and makes the store feel warm and inviting instead of dull or stressful. Whether it’s a quick coffee run late at night or a stop after a long day, seeing Karen behind the counter honestly makes the experience better ☕️✨ She greets customers kindly, stays patient, and handles everything professionally even when there’s a long line or nonstop orders coming in.

What stands out the most is how consistent she is. A lot of people lose energy late at night, which is understandable, but Karen still gives amazing service every single time. She works quickly without rushing customers, makes sure orders are right, and keeps everything running smoothly 💯 Even during the busiest midnight hours, she stays calm and focused, which is honestly impressive. That kind of work ethic deserves recognition because overnight shifts are some of the hardest shifts anyone can work.

Karen also has a personality that makes people want to come back. She’s respectful, approachable, and always seems willing to help. Small things like her smile, her attitude, and the way she talks to customers make a huge difference, especially late at night when people are tired or stressed. She brings a level of positivity that most places are missing nowadays 🌙👏 It’s obvious she cares about doing her job well and making customers leave happy.

I also think Karen deserves credit for helping create a safe and comfortable environment during the midnight shift. Late-night businesses rely heavily on employees who can stay responsible, professional, and dependable, and Karen does exactly that. She handles pressure really well and keeps things organized even during chaotic moments. Employees like her are the reason people trust certain places during late-night hours 🙌

Overall, Karen is an incredible employee and absolutely deserves recognition for the effort she puts into every midnight shift. Her dedication, kindness, professionalism, and positive energy do not go unnoticed. She makes Dunkin a much better place for customers during late-night hours, and it’s clear she works extremely hard every shift ⭐️ Dunkin is lucky to have someone as dependable and hardworking as Karen because employees like her are rare to find 💜“

“I tried the donuts from Mini Donut Factory, and it was unforgettable! These little masterpieces literally melt in your mouth—fresh, fluffy, and incredibly delicious. If you’re looking for something special to treat yourself or your loved ones, this is the place. Highly recommend!“

“We read about Joe Doughnut Itasca and thought we would give it a try…pulled up to a Shell gas station?!? Wow we were pleasantly surprised. Can’t begin to say enough good things about this place…not gas station food, custom fresh made to your liking off their full menu. Doughnuts were great, flapjacks were outstanding. Great variety of coffee products - regular, cold brew, lattes etc. The staff were warm and friendly, making you feel at home and explaining the menu to you. Met the co-owner, wonderful lady with passion for this place. Can’t believe it has been open for over 2 years. Great kept little secret. Will be back to try more of the menu!“
