One of the key differences between Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts is quality. Although they both have their specialties and different signature items, in my experience, Starbucks has proven to have all around better ingredients. If you don’t order a black coffee at Dunkin, you can be almost certain that there is a pile of sugary syrup at the bottom that the barista didn’t bother to stir around. Which is gross. And tastes like chemicals. However, if that doesn’t bother you, Dunkin does win against Starbucks when it comes to prices. For a large latte at Starbucks you’re looking at $4.32, but at Dunkin, you can get the same thing for $3.69. But don’t let that fool you, because ounce for ounce, Starbucks wins again. The third, and most substantial difference, is that of the difference in the atmosphere. The inside of a Starbucks is set up to promote community, conversation, and interaction. There are community tables, soothing music in the background, and delightful staff behind the counter. Cozy, calming decorations adorn the walls and smiles are contagious. Dunkin has the melancholy atmosphere of a fast-food chain that is out of touch with today’s youth.
