I definately vote Dunkin. Their stuff is slightly sweeter (not too sweet, just less bitter than Starbucks). Starbucks can be too strong. Plus, Dunkin Donuts Vanilla Chai tea=mmmmmmm.

That's another thing--Starbucks is soooooooo unnecessarily expensive!

That's what I was thinking! DD is cheaper, so I go with them.

I live in Vancouver so we only have Starbucks and not Dunkin' Donuts--plus Starbucks is such a Pacific Northwestern pretentious yuppie spot, so naturally I have to choose that one. (I cringe at the $4/cup prices, and then pay it so I look cool. Who am I kidding.)

Starbucks if I can afford it.

Dunkin Donuts is where I usually end up...cuz there's one near my dance studio and my spandex usually gets me a free bagel.

Starbucks, of course! I get a lot of gift cards from my students (thanks, kids!), so that keeps the cost down as long as I don't run out of those little pieces of plastic. White chocolate mocha -- YUM!!

Starbucks! I don't even like DD's doughnuts! However, there is a convenience store from Philadelphia (they're in New Jersey, Delaware and Virginia, as well), called WAWA (Indian name for Canadian Geese that settled in the region in Philadelphia) that has great coffee, and is my second choice if I'm feeling too cheap to pay for Starbucks.

Dunkin did received Consumer's Report highest rating for their coffee. Mild and flavorful without the bitterness found in most Starbucks blends.

I love me the Starbucks!

The bitterness, I think, is because Starbucks over-roasts their beans and loses a bit of the caffeine potency in their coffee, unfortunately. I actually kind of like the bitterness, but that's just me. If I want strong wake-me-up coffee, I make it myself. If I want specialty coffees, I want me my Bucks!

Drunkin Donuts all the way. Starbucks is satan.

Starbucks has hundreds more choices, and I prefer their espresso and specialty drinks.

I vote neither, if Dunkin Donuts wants to have as many stores in Manhattan as Starbucks - these big corporations are ruining america

I'm pretty sure Starbucks failed in Israel because the coffee wasn't good enough. Don't try to give an Israeli coffee addict subpar stuff. :)

Well, Plum, this isn't Israel, it's America - marketing is MUCH more important than content.

Dunkin' Donuts for their Hazelnut Coffee and yummy donuts.

Starbucks for anything with espresso (I'm addicted to the Pumpkin Latte) and their chai tea!
