Coffee with Donuts

Dunkin Donuts became popular by its variety of Donuts. It has over 35 varieties of Donuts and Fancies including Éclairs, Fritters, Crullers, Bismarck’s and Coffee roll. They also have Munchkins brand donut “holes”, Stick donuts, Bagels, Muffins, Danish pastry and Cookies. Due to the fast selling of coffee products in recent years they tend to offers several types of coffee drinks, in Hot and Iced forms. The premium coffee that they serve is the traditional Italian style of coffees beverages like Espresso, Cappuccino and Lattes, they also has flavored coffee like French vanilla, Hazelnut, Cinnamon, Toasted Almond, Caramel , Coconut , Raspberry, Blueberry and Chocolate. What really makes me more interested about it was, each of these flavors can be added to any of their coffee beverages and you can mix it with more than one flavor. They also have Iced Lattes to those who want iced coffee, in two varieties Iced Caramel Swirl and Iced Mocha Swirl. These are made of Espresso, Caramel or Mocha syrup and Milk topped with whipped cream and syrup.
