“This is by far my favorite Dunkin Donuts. Me and my family look forward to seeing Rajwinder k. Most people seem to be miserable nowadays, so it is always refreshing to come across a genuinely friendly person who makes our order quickly and accurately! Keep up the great work! 😊“

“Oh Hobbs I love you but… In the past 3 weeks you have double charged my credit card for breakfast, forgotten my friends coffee order thus making us late to an important function and this morning I went in for a bagel with cream cheese… and there was no cream cheese on it … please please please do better.“

“Just enjoy the coffee and maybe something to eat while on a bike ride through Swarthmore“

“The place is super cozy. The dessert options are just right and the gluten-free options are so delish. The cortado was yum with latte-art; super special. I was passing by Media and craved something sweet so I found this place by chance. The owner is fabulous, she’s friendly and super nice to chat with. I wish her lots of successful years here. I wish i had this place closer to me.“

“Really loved this boba spot. It’s super clean, calming, and has a fresh vibe that just feels good to be in. The staff were friendly and quick. I got the signature drink super smooth and not too sweet. Everything just felt well-made and thoughtful. Definitely a new go-“

“The baristas here are always super friendly, and the drinks are always tasty! There seems to be some lingering smell from possibly an HVAC issue. If it wasnt for that, I'd definitely hang out more here as they're pretty close to the house“

“Can’t praise this place enough!! Their delicious food, kind and accommodating staff, everything was out standing and so yummy. Coffee was made exactly to my liking and tasted perfect.“

“The staff was great. The drinks and food was awesome! I loved it...“

“This place is so cool! I don’t drink but I think it’s really unique to blend a coffee shop with a whiskey bar. For those like me, they have a ton of coffee options and non alcoholic options that feel unique and special. Great cozy vibes inside too.“

“Great food at very affordable prices“

“The food here is delicious, however, there is often not much of a selection. I understand that they want everything to be fresh and maybe they are still trying to figure out how much of certain items to make, but the last time I was there they had no biscuits (after they didn't have them last time I stopped either) so they offered us brioche, which we accepted. Then they only made one sandwich after we had waited 15 minutes. We left since we didn't have time to wait for them to make another. Then today I stop to pick up just plain biscuits to take home and as I'm at the counter waiting to order, someone calls the cafe and buys the last two biscuits over the phone. The coffee is very good, we like the cold brew, vanilla latte and cortado. Plus the biscuits are amazing if you manage to get some. They do make very good miniature pastel de nata as well, which you can't get just anywhere. Overall the cafe is good, maybe it's just going through growing pains.“

“Nice place too grab coffee while my cycle got some service.“

“I LOVE this market. they even stayed open a few minutes late for my boyfriend and I after I called saying we weren’t going to arrive until 4:58 on a saturday. like, THANK YOU. we had a delicious easy dinner with tasty beets, dolmas, pasta, and gigantes. I love this place and the food is always fantastic and fresh and perfectly vinegary.“

“Wonderful place! Good coffee, food and gifts.“

“Great coffee! Always great customer service!“

“The best, they are so wonderful here!“

“Had the Spring Fling coffee today, IT WAS INCREDIBLE! Never have I had coffee like this. It was robust but mild, with hints of lavender, thyme and pink peppercorns. Absolutely a must have for those that go regularly. I live in NJ so sadly I won’t be here often and I’m sad about that.“

“We love the croissant and bagels! Can’t wait to try more yummy things next week! And it’s AMAZING to have delivery.“

“Pancakes were big dry things. I would only give this place three stars.“

“So happy The Irish Coffee Shop catered our St. Patrick’s Day Party. They went above and beyond to ensure the food was perfect, and that we had everything we needed for a successful night. Thank you!“

“Drove up from Harford County, MD. Upscale cafe’. Well oiled machine. Fantastic food. The staff is great, especially SABRINA. She’s dynamic, genuine and interactive. We will be back!“

“My husband and I go every Monday. Great food and great service every time! Today our server today was Rey. Always does a great job and is so friendly!!“

“OCCC has been a 10/10 every time. My favorite is the iced dirty hippie (chai and a shot of espresso) and I love that they offer either spiced or vanilla chai. Their chai is creamy and delicious. I also love that they have such a great iced tea variety and plenty of fruit flavored syrups to add to them! You don’t find many coffee places anymore that have those options. Also their pastries are chefs kiss.. recently got the banana bread and the Tandy cake. SO good! Staff has always been friendly and it’s always been a quick stop. Thanks again!!“

“Delicious lattes, great service, cool space & vibe!“

“Kinda like sister of bông lan trứng muối. It is not made with sponge cake so there is no softness and airy texture. It has salted egg and pork floss. This place is small and quite with different drink and dessert options, and it is nicely decorated.“

“Always excellent food! Family place, the girls are awesome…“

“Great coffee, and amazing community.“

“excellent coffee friendly n professional staff. the perfect stop right at the intersection of two interstates“

“Today I stopped at The Hungry A. I have driven buy there many times. As I walked in the owners and people in there all greeted me like they know me. I had a coffee and it was one of the best I ever had. The breakfast sandwich was delicious. I will be be back. But what really got to me I walk with a cane and one of the girls there saw I was having a hard time she came around the counter and took what I was carrying and helped me to my car. Today there are not many people that are kind as she was. It made me know that there is still kind people in this world. If every would take the time to be kind to someone just once maybe it could be a start to make this world just a little better“

“Pics do not do this food justice at all!! This is by far the best pho i’ve had in years. The flavor of the broth was amazing, the ingredients were all fresh, and the homemade chili oil was such a good addition. So happy we tried it out, we’ll definitely be repeat customers!“

“I had not heard of this bakery but a friend suggested meeting there a couple evenings ago. This was the Burke, VA location. The choice of pastries was pretty amazing, what we had was fresh and truly outstanding, service was efficient and friendly, and the place itself was very clean. Will be back!“

“We had my husband’s surprise 30th birthday party and not only was the staff wonderful, the space was perfect! The best thing was that it’s not just beer. We knew the guest list would include people who may not drink beer so having coffee, tea, & soda options for others made this the perfect location. Thank you DOTF! We will be back 👏🏽👏🏽“

“Best shortbreads in Philadelphia.“

“Excellent bagels, but at times Nick is out of certain selections, especially when busy.“

“This place is great. The ice cream is delicious, and the cones make it even better.

Small space, big flavor, and the prices aren't unreasonable.

Kid-friendliness: Seems like an ice cream shop in the 50's.“

“TLDR: open every day, AMAZING COFFEE, chill dudes, complimentary mint water with mint grown on site with composted coffee grounds!!Stopped in by chance a few weeks ago and have been coming back regularly because THE COFFEE IS UNBELIEVABLE!!! Got to talking to the owner about it (really charismatic and generous dude super welcoming) and it's obvious he cares deeply for the coffee making process. He was talking about how important the altitude and climate are in the end result of the bean as well as the way they are pressed (something to do with the oils in the roasted bean). Gets his beans from Costa Rica and is clearly very proud of his source and for good reason. Forgot to confirm but I believe they are Arabica beans which I hear are pretty tricky to do justice. Also seems like they have a great machine because the end result was a really smooth, warm, toasty coffee that was so easy and enjoyable to drink! Bonus: they compost the coffee grounds in the pots around the cafe where they grow their own mint. They then pick that mint and always have a pitcher of cool iced mint infused water which was the perfect way to stay hydrated while drinking coffee. All that and a cool location, with an interior I did not expect but pleasantly surprised me (a bunch of interesting paintings and usually music playing) and great conversation to top it off. It was an incredibly pleasant and welcoming experience and that's what's been bringing me back. I'm glad they're open every day!

Wheelchair accessibility: Zero point entry from the sidewalk into the outdoor seating. Ramp up to the interior and a wheelchair accessible bathroom with support bars to help transitioning from wheelchair“

“This Dunkin’ is hands down my favorite location—the best in the area by far! The food and drinks are always fresh, consistent, and made quickly, even when the line is long or it’s super busy. I never worry about the quality here, because the team keeps everything moving smoothly without cutting corners.

What really makes this Dunkin’ special is the people who work here. The employees are always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help. They go out of their way to make sure every customer has a great experience, and that makes such a difference.

I especially want to recognize Bryn, who is absolutely incredible!!!! My son has a food allergy, and she always takes such great care to make sure his food is safe. As soon as I call after placing an order, she already knows to prepare his hashbrowns on fresh paper and package them separately. That level of thoughtfulness, consistency, and attention to detail means so much to me as a parent. It gives me peace of mind and makes me feel valued as a customer.

Because of Bryn and the rest of the amazing team here, I won’t go to another Dunkin’ in the area. They’ve created such a positive and welcoming atmosphere, and I truly appreciate how kind, attentive, and dedicated they are every single visit. This location deserves to be recognized for the outstanding service they provide—it’s the kind of experience that keeps people coming back again and again!“

“I have read some of the reviews that were one star. I do agree it could be faster. I do agree that I also cannot stand the Wooden Spoons. However, when I read about how it tastes artificial or not prepared well and it's just soft serve I want 100% disagree. It's not fake from a carton Frozen treat mix it is made what's the highest quality ingredients. Therefore you know what you're getting and it is delicious. Glam Jam is my absolute favorite and I must try. So if you're unhappy with a wooden spoon and how slow it is, bring your own spoon like I do. And knowing that it is well worth the wait won't matter. If you're impatient hit up a dairy queen and take a look at ALL of the ingredients in their mix. Keep on doing what you're doing because quality and consistency will win every time.“

“its champ place than one which right next to Dairy queen !!!“

“Miss Dee’s beignets with raspberry dipping sauce are oh my gosh good! In fact everything was. Coffee, French toast, omelette and service from Bridget. We will be going back soon!!“
