A few days ago I was trollin’ FB as I do, when a post caught my eye. My friend Melissa had posted about a grand opening for Dunkin Donuts in ENCINO! Encino is about 6 minutes from my house. Color me excited! Now, I’m not a huge donut lover (that’s the hubby), even though there’s a donut in the DCD logo. However, I am a huge lover of the occasional delicious treat, and the Dunkin Donuts Chocolate Kreme donut fits the bill! Also, growing up in Chicago, Dunkin Donuts became a landmark of weekends – whenever a dozen donuts showed up at our house, it officially signified the start of a special weekend.
Dunkin Donuts is now open from 5 AM to 11 pm in Encino, at the intersection of Balboa and Ventura.
I headed over today for the grand opening and got myself some delicious donuts and lunch. For lunch I chose the egg and bacon sandwich on a pretzel roll. Super yummy! I loved the crunch of salt against the chewy pretzel roll. I also got a massive unsweetened iced tea ($1.99, holla), because DD knows their beverages – no watered down tea concentrates here. (Hubby is a fan of the DD coffee). I loved how all of the staff at the Encino DD were friendly, smiling, and hustlin’. It felt like a taste of the Midwest here in LA!
Bacon and Egg Sandwich on Pretzel Roll with Large Iced Tea – yum!

I like chocolate donuts.
I love DD because it reminds me of New York. It love their coolers — the ice blended coffees. I know it’s TERRIBLE for me but DELICIOUS. My cousin in NY owns a strip mall with a DD in it and I had that shit ALL THE TIME. LOL
The double chocolate cake donut is my fave!
Oh my! A bagel w/cream cheese and an iced coffee is my fave from DD!
yum!
I love the Boston creme donuts.
My favorite kind of donut is vanilla frosted.
I LOVE me some donuts! YUM!
I love their icing filled donuts.
I like the custard filled donuts.
There is a DD a few blocks from my apartment! I enjoy their iced coffee and of course, the donuts are a special treat on occasion.
If I have to pick just one favorite donut, it’d have to be jelly. Most jelly donuts gross me out, but the Dunkin ones are perfect. The jelly-filled Munchkins are also my fave of the Munchkins.
I love glazed donuts
I love their regular roast coffee to buy in bags to make their delish coffee at home! It is incentive to get up early early!
I love Dunkin’s iced coffee (hazelnut and almond are my favs), but the iced green tea is awesome too!
I get a Medium French Vanilla Iced Coffee every day from Dunks! #DaniRunsOnDunkin
my youngest daughter enjoys the donut holes

Anything with chocolate frosting is my jam!
I absolutely love iced coffee.
My absolute favorite DD item would have to be the Coffee Coolatta. Since I was young, that has always been like ambrosia lol.
I love the chocolate glazed donut!
Their sweet tea is the bomb! They actually just put a new one in, not that we didn’t have a few around my area already, but the new location is just perfect! I love their munchkins! Anything chocolate almost with filling. My husband isn’t a donut fan but I am. 🙂
I love their chocolate covered chocolate donuts
The strawberry glaze is my favorite
I would love any kind of maple donut with coffee!
I love their hash browns:)
I like the chocolate glazed donut
