So, everyone always raves about Dunkin' Donuts. We just got one here in Denver (literally, it opened yesterday... well, 2 of them actually). Anyway, what should I get?

Definitely coffee, the pumpkin is good this time of year. If you want to get like a breakfast sandwich or something, my go to is the bacon egg and cheese on a bagel.
IMO everything is just okay. I do like their iced tea but it's hard to screw that up. Doughnuts are disappointing. Breakfast sandwiches are pretty good (better than McD's, worse than a bakery's, if that makes sense).
PS I come from the MA perspective where they are EVERYwhere. Absolutely everywhere. I can name a Dunks on at least every other block from here (near Fenway) to Aquarium.

It's gross. The donuts, at least. I can't speak for the coffee. I did have a mint hot chocolate last winter and that was ok. I don't get the hype and I live in the land of DD on every corner. I'll take Krispy Kreme any day.
In all seriousness though, they have good breakfast bagels, croissants, and wraps. Their coffee is usually full bodied and without that strange, bitter, chemical after taste many other coffee places have. Their doughnuts are fairly good.

We (Boston area) got a Krispy Kreme.a few years ago and people couldn't wait When it opened lines were nuts, like no one could get in Then the novelty wore off I think it closed within 6 mos, year max

I love their coffee, especially their iced coffee. Their egg & cheese wraps are my go-to breakfast when I don't eat at home. I'm not a huge doughnut fan but I like their blueberry and pumpkin doughnuts.

Also, some DD's have Vanilla Chai tea, which is pretty sweet but it's good. And also the Dunkaccino, which is half coffee, half hot chocolate. ITS DELICIOUS

The one in the Pru? I LOVED that. It was there when I was in college and I freaked out (my family is from the midwest). All my friends were like "um, okay? Dunks is better" and I yelled at them.
But yeah, it didn't last long. Bummer Their coffee was better too.

No, I never knew there was once one there It was over at Wellington where Kelly's roast beef is now, right behind/next to station landing Know where I mean?
I'm with ninja. Its OK. But I also pass 4 dunks on my way to work from the station. its like, a 3 block walk. lol!
I do like that they have a lot of flavored coffees that are just bean flavors, not syrup. Also they have egg white and turkey sausage breakfast sandwiches, which are a reasonably healthy fast food breakfast.
Now they do tuna sandwiches which I kind of feel is like gas station eggs
