Dunkin' Donuts to open in Irvine (Jeffrey/Irvine Ctr Drive)

[Irvinecommuter]

NPR is depressing, like the news.

I listen to music or sports.

Cornflakes needs to eat more donuts.

NPR has tons of great and entertaining material...Radiolab, This American Life, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, Fresh Air, etc.

It does. Great depth and diversity on topics. I just don't want to get into arguments over NPR.

I guess this has been open a couple weeks now.  Has anyone gone recently and is the wait still just as long?  I guess I can always go at 2am on a weekday.

25 minute wait yesterday is what I heard from someone who did the wait.  I tried one of their donuts yesterday....underwhelming.  Winchell's is better.

Mornings still have a wait. Plus the parking lot is a cluster so I would avoid. Go in the afternoons. No/minimal wait. I went the other day and was disappointed. Munchkins aka donut holes were such a staple of my childhood and they were delicious. Not sure if my taste buds went more upscale or if the product just sucks now.

That's what I have been saying: not unique

I was really looking forward to it.  Also, having the drive through is pretty cool.  I've not gone yet, though, because as cool as it is, it's not worth waiting in line.  Other donut places are just as good for the most part.

Sounds like you eat donuts a lot.

Just got my box of Munchkins. Tastes good but nothing special. I used the drive thru and had 4 cars ahead of me at 11:30pm.

I saw on the website just now they sell cookie dough frozen mocha - I gotta try this.

No so much anymore, but I've certainly had more than a fair share in my life.

Ain't nothin' wrong with that!!

Fyi, the place used to be a lauder mat for over 10 years. Image all the chemicals in the walls and air.

Dunkin donuts really did a perfect job picking this place.

I think the dry cleaners was there longer than 10 years.  Sadly, the old Korean owner was pushed out due to high rents and other issues.
