As the fall season approaches, I love when my favorite coffee places come out with the best flavor of all time…pumpkin spice. Starbucks’ pumpkin spice latte holds a special place in my heart. When it came to comparing Starbucks’ and Dunkins’ variety of pumpkin spice drinks it was clear that Starbucks’ is the best.
First of all, Starbucks’ pumpkin spice latte has a high quality of flavor that Dunkin does not. The combinations of the pumpkin to nutmeg ratio is an excellent balance of flavors. It has a rich indulgence of flavor, a blend of spice and sauces, and quality. Dunkin falls short. If I were to give a rating on the flavors of the drinks, Starbucks’ would get a 10 out of 10 and Dunkin would get a 7 out of 10.
Furthermore, Starbucks customer service quality also outruns Dunkins’ customer service by a mile. Starbucks’ employees in Greenwood are kind and efficient. Dunkin, on the other hand, seems to lack these customer service qualities. They do not seem to care how well the drink is presented, the taste or how they treat their customers. Given that, it is another point given to Starbucks’ for their excellent service. If I had to rate the customer service alone Starbucks’ would get a 10 out of 10 and Dunkin would get a 5 out of 10.
Along with trying their drinks, I also compared Dunkin’s pumpkin spice donut and Kroger’s pumpkin spice donut. Dunkin’s donut seemed to have a crumbly and dry texture to it. The taste was not screaming pumpkin like I hoped it would. But Kroger’s pumpkin spice donut was exceptional. It not only had a nice smooth glaze overtop it had an actual pumpkin flavor to it. Comparing Dunkin and Kroger’s pumpkin spice donuts, I will always choose Kroger’s version.
In conclusion, Starbucks’ pumpkin spice latte is the clear winner of this battle of the pumpkin spice lattes for me. With its superior flavors, customer service and quality, Starbucks stands head and shoulders above Dunkin’s version. For anyone seeking a truly exceptional pumpkin spice latte, Starbucks is the go-to destination.
