Dunkin' Donuts for regular coffee, Starbucks for latte-type drinks. Wawa also has great coffee.

Thanks a million times for this pointer! We regularly make this drive from Rockville and there always seem to be long lines at the Starbucks at the NJTP rest "dumps."

Dunkin Donuts or Tim Hortons coffee for me. Although, a Starbucks iced skim mocha is awfully good...

My office coffee is the best...not. It's Starbucks brew. LOL. I drink tea that I bring from home.

DD all the way for me. Too bad I have to get on an airplane to be anywhere near one...

I spend a lot of time in Europe and love their coffee. I agree that Starbucks tastes "burnt" and definitely prefer Dunkin Donuts.

Starbucks for me all the way. Like the coffee and the atmosphere with people watching and the Hot spots.

Starbucks for me, especially the low fat, sugar free, skim mile vanilla latte. Mmmm.... But not every day. DD is way too bitter for my taste.

Starbucks....although at 2 bucks a day for a regular grande in NYC, it is getting expensive. Between my daily fix in NYC, and weekend cups closer to home, I'm probably spending 600-700 bucks per year at SB.
Time for a new vice...

Dunkin Donuts easily beats Starbucks.... I love the way they put 6 large scoops of sugar (or Splenda) in a "regular"!

Never thought I'd be one of the legions standing in line at PVD in the AM to buy my cup of DD coffee.... But I've become one of the believers...

I like my coffee strong, and no other large chain's coffee comes close to matching Starbucks' bold flavor, IMHO. Dunkin Donuts coffee, to me, is halfway between McDonald's and Starbucks in terms of quality. I just don't see why it's so popular.
