Dunkin’ Donuts

This is a very small DD with only a dozen or so places to sit. It’s attached to the local bus terminal, so you’ll get that segment of the population. The line can be long but these folks are experienced at getting it moving as quickly as possible.
Standard Dunkin menu and standard selection of donuts. I got a large coffee for me and a dozen donuts for my customer. They went down quite nicely.
Meter parking only, if you can find it.

Standard Dunkin donut. If they want to be special, they could be a bit cleaner and friendlier
Pro:
Hours: open early in the morning while most of Nashville is still fighting with their alarm clock.
Cons:
Cleanliness: The whole place was sticky.
Staff: Could be friendlier while taking orders. A bit faster too? It took them more than 10 mins to heat up three bagels.

They need someone who know how to make Hot Chocolate. My Hot Chocolate taste water down all the time…

It’s a Dunkin’ Donuts… I realize this… but this location rocks. Great staff! You can be in and out within 2 minutes with a coffee and whatever other goodies you may need. It is delicious coffee that I wake up craving? No. But it’s super cheap and extremely quick/​easy when you’re downtown and in a hurry.
If you’re into iced drinks, the iced latte is 10x better than their iced coffee IMO.

I volunteered to work at a non-​profit phone bank a few weeks ago in which my shift started at 7am. That meant I had to be at the bus station at dark o’clock. That meant I had no time to have coffee at home.
I was so glad there was a Dunkin’ Donuts here. Never been in one, since there were usually Asian-​owned donut shops back home with the word «Happy» in the establishment name. Unlike a Starbuck’s or other chain coffee places, the coffee they give you here is cheap, and out of a carafe. If they have baristas that press out the coffee grinds, I didn’t notice.
Cheap and good coffee. I think I paid slightly over a dollar for a small.
Didn’t have any donuts or their breakfast sandwiches. Seating for about a dozen people. Line forms quickly at an early hour, but people are served just as fast.

My donut-​loving husband and I can eat here together because I can order my healthier option: egg white, turkey sausage, cheese on flat bread. Love it!

Alright, so the coffee may not be fair trade or organic. And, it is a blend of different types of beans. But, it has a distinct flavor that is familiar and enjoyable.
I tried a latte the other day and was satisfied. Nothing great. Nothing bad. Just right. And, made with skim milk (upon request). I signed up through the website and got a free coffee drink card in the mail for my birthday.
HERE is the catch — their donuts are darn tasty. I take the bus in and like to stop every great once in a while to bring back my colleagues a dreamy holeless sensation. Plus, they change with the season. I can’t wait for the December mint flavors. And, the current pumpkin spice options are awesome.

The Dunkin’ Donuts in Music Central (bus station) employs energetic, friendly, and helpful people. The customer service is always exceptional and the food is the quality you would expect of the donut chain.
