Fresh, Flavorful Menu Highlights

At Dunkin’, we take pride in our diverse menu that caters to every craving and schedule.

When order accuracy hiccups occur—as they occasionally do—our team strives to make it right, reinforcing our commitment to customer satisfaction.

Fast, Convenient & On-the-Go

Life in Reading moves quickly, and so do we. Whether you’re heading to the office, dropping the kids at school, or grabbing a holiday road trip cup, our in-and-out service delivers.

That said, we recognize that occasional long lines and wait times can test your patience—especially during peak breakfast and lunch hours. Rest assured, we’re constantly refining our processes to serve you faster without sacrificing quality.

Of course, keeping up with high traffic can be challenging, and there are times when tables or trash bins overflow. We value your feedback and work diligently behind the scenes to ensure our store meets the highest standards of hygiene and comfort.

Accessibility & Drive-Thru Options

For those craving ultimate convenience, a streamlined drive-thru can make all the difference. While our current layout in Reading may not satisfy every drive-thru purist, we’re exploring improvements to reduce confusion and speed up service. Customers have noted room for refinement in our drive-thru configuration, and we’re listening.

— “The dumbest designed drive-thru ever… there is no way to drive through.” (Review 41)

In the meantime, our efficient counter service and online ordering options provide quick alternatives for busy customers craving that signature Dunkin’ taste.
