Which one do you like better and what's your favorite item on the menu? ;)
I would have to say Starbucks. Really good and I don't think it's that expensive if you know what you're buying. My fave: Caramel Macchiato Double Chocolate Chip Frapp.

mcdonalds is a better coffee place than either of these in my opinion. frappes for life.
if we are talking about straight coffee, which we probably aren't cause i know not many of you guys drink that, but that's what i like best, then: mcdonalds dunkin donuts starbucks to me starbucks is the most overrated. i would rather go their for their specialty drinks than actual coffee quality. starbucks has the best branding by far though. |

I love, LOVE Dunkin Donuts coffee. There's a sweetness to it.
Straight coffee choice: Dunkin Donuts McDonalds Starbucks - this is last for the same reason others have posted (price, quality and so on). I'll add to that, the wait. I hate waiting for coffee. Food wise? The only thing I enjoy from Starbucks are their little vanilla scones. I only get those when I'm at Target, need coffee and need something to eat really quick. McDonalds, gosh, I still love Egg McMuffins. I get them occasionally when I splurge. I rarely eat donuts, though Dunkin Donuts has expanded their breakfast menu a bit. Maybe I'll check it out sometime. |

every experience at starbucks in recent years has been the same, pretty shitty. i don't disagree with you on barista part. i suppose they hire people who don't give a shit how drinks turn out.
lol the most recent one i went to, the strawberry frappe started to separate in less than 5-10 minutes. |
