I didn’t start drinking coffee in earnest until I moved to Florida and rediscovered Dunkin’. Since then, a cup of coffee has been a prerequisite for every morning. I rarely skip my coffee; if I do, it’s a sure bet I’m not feeling well. Regarding dieting and giving up stuff, coffee is my non-negotiable. It will have to fit into the diet or I’m not doing it.

In fact, I’ve been going to the same Dunkin’ pretty much since we moved here. The manager Polly is an absolute doll and made sure my coffee was always ready before I walked in and checks to make sure they threw in added munchkin’s with the pups’ donuts. Moreover, she always asked how the kids, hubby, and dogs were doing. When I’d travel, I’d show her the different Dunkins we had gone to, including one in Copenhagen and the original one in Quincy, MA. Unfortunately, they moved her to another store. The store I’ve frequented forever is an absolute mess, so I started going to a different one.

Now sometimes when I travel there are no Dunkins available. Nonetheless, morning coffee remains a prerequisite. If I’m in Canada, it’s all about Tim Hortons and their double-double. Stateside if they don’t have Dunkin’, I’m headed to Starbucks to enjoy a cinnamon dulce latte. I enjoy the drinks from all three stores, but the price of Dunkin and Tim Hortons is much more sustainable and realistic than Starbucks. Now I know what you’re thinking, and you’re right, I should be the president of the Dunkin’ fan club.
