Ah! I was thisclose to donut iced coffee Heaven today. But it all slipped through my (large) hands. I even posed with the world’s biggest donut and was still unable to taste the greatness. This was like the most climactic / anti-climactic day ever…
Let’s start back at the morning with a nice little walk and breakfast time. Cheerios and eggs and grapes.
My stomach still kind of hurts on and off randomly, I should probably be avoiding Sriracha and junk. <- But that just occurred to me as I’m writing this. Boo.
The first Dunkin Donuts in Orange County opened up yesterday!!! AHHHH! And not only is DD finally in OC, but it’s only about 3 miles from me! What?! #Winning #RERRunsOnDunkin
I skipped opening day because I heard it was super busy and my stomach was still a little suspect yesterday. But today I was on an Iced Coffee Mission.
Unfortunately when I got there the line was still pretty long. They had us waiting across from Dunkin so we didn’t block the parking lot.
After waiting for a while I realized I was going to be late for my appointment so I had to leave. Since I was leaving anyway I thought I’d try to grab a HUGE donut and make a run for it.
Well, that or take a picture with one in front of the whole Dunkin Donuts like and look like a weirdo. Done and done.
I left to make my appointment. But they did have hot coffee in a tent set up for people like me that were in a super rush. I just wanted to wait for the iced. I’ll be back tomorrow for sure!! (And like everyday after that as soon as the lines die down, it’s so close!)
Now I really want a donuts with my iced coffee!
Anyway.
It wasn’t a total loss though – I brought along Meb for Mortals to read while waiting for my appointment and am completely loving this book so far! I don’t want to rave about it just yet but I’ll share more soon!
I do love the DD iced coffee, but the best coffee in the OC is at Sidecar Donuts in Costa Mesa. It’s Stumptown Coffee and I think Sidecar and a place in the Anaheim Packing District are the only places that sell it. It’s just the best best best brewed coffee you can get your lips on!
I’m a starbucks girl. Until Starbucks came around this area, we ONLY had DD. So, I still appreciate how great they are. And, they have donuts. Oh their donuts!! Starbucks lacks donuts…booooo. (But both places are less than a mile)
Currently I’m reading Gone Girl…just started it yesterday. I’ve been seeing Meb’s book a lot lately, and I’m pretty sure that is the next one on my list to buy.
Sucks your stomach is hurting. Eaten and Sabra lately? http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2015/04/09/398508592/sabra-hummus-announces-a-recall-over-listeria-fears
I heard about that! Boo 🙁 But no I haven’t and I don’t buy the ‘classic’ flavor.
I hate to tell you how close, but here it goes. I have 2! dunkins within 1/4 mile, and a Marylou’s within 1/4 as well!
I don’t live far from Tina@carrotsncake : )
My girlfriends works at DD HQ, (which is also not far from me-actually right up the road from Reebok HQ where I believe you have been). Maybe you can get a gig there : )
haha so funny that there is such a line for DD! It’s such a common place on the east coast:) I hope you get your iced coffee soon!!!
Me too! I’m craving it 🙂
Hope you do a review of the book! Planning on getting the book if it’s good or inspiring. Anyone else read it?
I will! So far it’s an easy read and interesting 🙂
I’m pretty spoiled- I live in an college town, so we have lots of coffee options. I have three within a mile! Since my office is on the second floor of my house, I try to leave a day without any photo shoots so I can spend a few hours at one of those places. A change of pace is good, right? I’m 99% sure I don’t go there just because of the fabulous baked goods…
…so yes, go with a donut contest. We believe in you! 🙂
donuts and iced coffee are just meant to be :)!
It’s science.
I live in Chicago so there is good food everywhere. You need to come here if you want some serious donuts. Now that I have had the ones here I don’t think Dunkin will ever cut it for me again!
Im reading a book called Daring Greatly by Brene Brown. It’s about being vulnerable which I hate so I should prob be reading it haha.
Oooh. I should probably read that book too…
I have Dunkin Donuts about 1 mile from my house. I happen to love Panera Bread’s coffee! And Starbucks is about 3 miles from me. But lately I’m loving my Keurig. I use Newman’s Own Special Blend exclusively. =)
I have 2 dd within 5 miles of me but the best donuts are from the Amish market near my work. The chocolate maple bacon donut is unbelievable! !
We’re getting a Dunkin Donuts soon – it’s currently being built about 3 miles from me but we also have tons of Starbucks and mom and pop coffee houses close by. Never had Dunkin so I’m curious to taste for myself what all the fuss is about.
I love Meb! I really want this book. 🙂
I’m lucky! I live one block away from a local coffee shop. #shopsmall Currently, I’m reading two (non-academic) books….”you are a badass” and “The Next American Revolution”
I have never been to a Dunkin Donuts. I don’t think they exist in MN?
Is that…egg white scrambled eggs? You can eat the yolk – its the most nutritious part! 🙂
Yeah, I just have egg whites in the house right now. When I have ‘real’ eggs I throw one in for good measure 🙂
I’ve been Dunkin Donuts spoiled – I’ve lived 10 minutes from one my whole life!
Yaya for your new Dunkin Donuts!
Those blowup donuts are a hoot! I live within minutes of Starbucks, Dunkin, and a few independent coffee chains, but I also happen to have an excellent iced coffee maker so I rarely ever leave the house….
