Still, if you're going to advertise yourself as a donut shop and be open, you should have some donuts available.
Oh, I think you're right. Most people think of donuts as a breakfast snack. Personally a couple of donuts with a hot cup of tea after a hard day at work is perfect, if not all that healthy !

I don't go that often so I can't make any sweeping statements about the place, but seriously, try to have some donuts made at 10:30 on a Sunday morning. Being out of any sort of donut with sprinkles on it was a non-starter for my little minions and pretty poor showing in my opinion.

A new Dunkin Donuts location is in the works for the Asbhurn Village Shopping Center. Hope it's better!

I have completely taken the DD Broadlands off my list of treat options. Seems the only thing they sell is the center of a doughnut.

Nope, went there one afternoon last month to buy Munchkins. Guy told me they were all gone and were not making anymore. Great customer service.

Reading all these posts, how does this place stay in business?

Old habits, pure convenience, and a rather captive audience of parents dropping their kids off in the AM (and the drive thru doesnt hurt) Place always has customers... Who needs service excellence with that jackpot ?

Well....a new low for me at the Broadlands DD. Walked in at 630 this morning and stood at the counter for 10 minutes (I started timing it after a few minutes). Drive through guy saw me as well as the guy on the floor next to me restocking coffee. Another employee was helping at the drive through, but refused to look towards the counter. I finally asked for help and not one person even acknowledged me.

Walked out and drove down to the DD in Ashburn Villiage. After three years of trying to make this relationship work I'm giving up and moving in with the new Ashburn DD.....

Both are owned by the same person... not sure what will be the difference?

I'm not a huge fan of donuts but wanted something sweet so I went to DD yesterday afternoon (my second time). I was surprised to see the racks fully stocked with donuts because so many posters here complain that they're always out of them. Four teens were standing around looking bored but one came to assist right away.

I think a 10 minute wait is excessive! After 30 seconds I would have spoken up, especially if the workers were not busy.
