“The Dunkin’ Donuts in Arlington is truly exceptional. Aziz and his team are unbelievably kind, efficient, and dedicated—they consistently go above and beyond in everything they do. I used to watch Aziz greet customers by name, always followed by a warm “my friend,” and before I knew it, I became one of them. 🥹

It’s such a special feeling to walk into a place where you can feel the sense of community. The entire staff is tremendous—friendly, professional, and always attentive. I really need to make a point to learn more of their names, because every single person there contributes to the welcoming atmosphere and consistent quality.

Everything at this location is done with care, from how they make your order to how they treat each guest. I’m truly grateful that this is my morning Dunkin’s. Thank you to Aziz and the whole team for setting the standard for what excellent service and kindness look like!“

“Sample the best Coffe☕☕☕Very Good place the have A super Good cup of coffe“

“Great location, pick up was quick and easy! Their bubble tea is awesome and they have an awesome variety of flavors and boba options“

“Great place and service. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is the customers who make it their " home office" while paying customers can't find a table to sit down. Managers need to find a balance on what's reasonable to please all their customers.“

“This Dunkin’ on Summer Street is one of those rare locations that just quietly excels at being exactly what you need it to be. The staff here are consistently great — friendly, efficient, and somehow manage to stay cheerful even during the morning rush. Orders come out quickly and correctly, whether you’re grabbing a coffee, a sandwich, or one of those random donut runs that “wasn’t supposed to happen” but always does.

The place itself is usually clean and well kept, which honestly sets it apart from many other Dunkin’ locations in the area. Tables are wiped down, floors are tidy, and even the pickup counter looks organized. You can tell the crew here takes pride in keeping things running smoothly.

One unexpected bonus — it’s actually a really convenient and safe meeting spot. I use it a lot for Craigslist transactions or quick in-person pickups and drop-offs. It’s well-lit, has a steady flow of people, and plenty of visibility both inside and in the parking lot, even at night. You never feel sketchy meeting someone here, which is a rare compliment for any public space these days.

Parking is easy, the location’s central, and the vibe is generally positive and welcoming. Whether you’re starting your morning, running errands, or doing an after-hours caffeine pit stop, this Dunkin’ delivers exactly what you want — good coffee, quick service, and a safe, friendly environment.

Definitely one of the better-run Dunkins in the Arlington area — reliable, consistent, and just a notch above the rest. 👍“

“Amazing experience here! The staff is so friendly and helpful, and the drinks are really good. Service was nice and quick. However, there seems to be an after-school rush, and when I came there were so many people. Few tables that were taken up by people, but overall, 5 stars!“

“My daughter gave it a 💯 out of 5 stars. absolute best service and food we have experienced. begged them to have a location in Chicago“
