Twice a Day
Its always time to make the donuts.
At Dunkin' Donuts our Donuts are always fresh. That's because, we make them not once but twice a day. Once in the night so that you get fresh donuts in the morning. And once again in the morning so that when you drop by in the afternoon or in the evening they are waiting all fresh for you. Oh, we almost forgot, it's time to make the donuts.

Commitment to Coffee
At Dunkin' coffee is at the heart of our business and our coffee heritage goes back more than 70 years.Dunkin'Great Cup of Coffee
We're proud of our coffee, and we know that our guests feel as passionately about it as we do. Our guests recognize Dunkin' as the place to go for a great cup of coffee in a fast, friendly, welcoming environment, and at a great value.We want to make sure that every cup of coffee we serve is as good as the last one, so we have strict quality processes. We use 100 percent Arabica coffee beans and have our own coffee specifications, which are recognized by the industry as a superior grade of coffee. Based on Dunkin' Quality (DDQ) specifications, coffee is milled and processed specifically for Dunkin'. Throughout the year, coffee from Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua and Peru are used. We are also committed to sourcing coffee responsibly by working with organizations like the Rainforest Alliance and World Coffee Research to ensure a long-term supply of coffee and benefit coffee farming communities.
The Dunkin' Tree-to-Cup Process
Have you ever wondered about the story behind your morning cup of coffee and how it came to be? At Dunkin', this is called the "tree-to-cup" process. Tree-to-Cup is a quality coffee sourcing process that begins at the coffee farm and ends with you enjoying your coffee. Let's explore the journey and get a glimpse of how Dunkin' coffee comes to be.
- Growing
We work with local coffee farms to grow our coffee, using only 100 percent Arabica coffee beans and the highest quality coffee available.- Picking
Coffee beans are the seeds of the coffee fruit, called a cherry, which grows on trees in more than 60 countries. An experienced cherry picker can pick as much as 200 pounds of coffee cherries in a single day.- Processing
Since coffee beans are actually the seeds of coffee fruit, the fruit must be processed to get to the bean. Once freed from the cherry, the green coffee beans are cleaned and then classified on a number of quality criteria, including their size and color.- Blending
To make the perfect, well-balanced cup of coffee, we blend different beans together to create a deeper, richer profile, adding complexity to each cup while maintaining a smooth finish.- Roasting
Roasting is where the magic happens. The beans undergo both chemical and physical changes, which are seen by the beans' color evolving from green to yellow to brown as they are evenly roasted. When the beans begin to turn brown, the sugar in them caramelizes, revealing the smooth, sweet flavor of the coffee.- Taste Testing
Dunkin' has a Coffee Excellence Team that conducts a full sensory evaluation of its finished coffee products. Our team of coffee experts work hard to ensure that Dunkin' coffee products consistently meet our high quality standards.- Brewing
After being selected to meet our quality standards, the brewed quality of the coffee is not left to chance. Every detail in our restaurants is carefully orchestrated, including the temperature and amount of water used, the timing and consistency of bean grinding, and the length of time the coffee is brewed. Throughout the day, our coffee is continually brewed to ensure every cup is fresh.- Serving
At Dunkin', we never take a smooth, delicious, consistent cup of coffee for granted-so that our customers can. You can rest assured knowing that if at any one stop along the tree-to-cup journey the coffee doesn't meet our standards, it won't make it into your cup.
Supporting Coffee Farming Communities
In addition to being committed to quality, we are also committed to sourcing coffee responsibly and incorporating certified products in our coffee portfolio. For example, our espresso beverages sold in the U.S. and internationally have used 100% certified coffee beans since 2004.We have been working with the Rainforest Alliance since 2010, donating over $400,000 to projects aimed at preserving and growing coffee and tea farms throughout the world. Rainforest Alliance certification encompasses economic, social, and environmental aspects of sustainability. It empowers farmers with the knowledge and skills to increase productivity, improve quality, and negotiate for themselves in the global marketplace.
Rainforest Alliance Certified products originate on - or contain ingredients sourced from - Rainforest Alliance Certified farms or forests. These farms and forests are managed according to rigorous environmental, social and economic criteria designed to conserve wildlife; safeguard soils and waterways; protect workers, their families and local communities; and increase livelihoods in order to achieve true, long-term sustainability.
Dunkin'In the U.S.
We currently offer 100 percent Rainforest Alliance Certified Espresso, 30 percent Rainforest Alliance Certified Dark Roast Coffee nationally and 30 percent Rainforest Alliance Certified Green Tea regionally.

Joy in Childhood Foundation
Providing the simple joys of childhood to kids battling hunger or illnessJOY FOUNDATIONMission & Impact
Founded in 2006, the Joy in Childhood Foundation is an independent 501(c)3 organization powered by Dunkin' and the generosity of their franchisees, partners, employees and guests.
Their mission is to provide the simple joys of childhood to kids battling hunger or illness.
The Joy in Childhood Foundation, Inc. provides grants to hundreds of nonprofits - big and small - making a difference in the lives of kids battling hunger or illness across the country. Organizations include food pantries, children's hospitals, camps and programs designed to provide joy to those who need it most.
They believe impact is felt most at the local level. Thanks to franchisees and brand employees who volunteer their time to identify the biggest needs in their communities; organize local fundraising and volunteer events; and conduct local grantmaking, they are able to maximize their impact for kids who need joy the most.

What They Do
When children face health and hunger issues, it robs them of the simple joys of childhood. The Joy in Childhood Foundation's goal is to help kids feel like kids, even on their most difficult days.
They provide grants to hundreds of nonprofits each year making a difference in the lives of kids battling hunger or illness across the country.
Their Grantees
The Joy in Childhood Foundation provides grants to hundreds of nonprofit organizations annually working tirelessly to provide the simple joys of childhood to kids battling hunger or illness in their communities from children's hospitals to camps, after-school feeding programs and more.
Signature Programs:
Dogs for Joy
Dogs for Joy are special in-resident pups that work alongside their human handlers to bring joy to hospitalized kids. They are a critical part of a child's care team.The Dogs for Joy program has funded over 50 in-resident dogs at hospitals across the country. A facility dog is professionally trained to work in a healthcare setting. Unlike volunteer dogs that visit a hospital or medical center for a short time, facility dogs are at the hospital every day with their handlers. In most cases they are used exclusively for clinical work.
The dogs can physically interact with patients to provide comfort and love. They're trained to help with tasks like teaching kids how to take medication, keeping them calm during medical interventions and providing incentives to get out of bed to walk. These dogs serve as a source of happiness and provide a sense of normalcy for patients.
Research shows that animal-assisted therapy can lower stress and anxiety levels, improve blood pressure, increase patient mobility, and provide an alternative focus from pain.
Connecting Joy
Gaming is an excellent way to help hospitalized children stay engaged in a fun activity that is adaptable to all energy and ability levels and allows them to remain connected to family and friends.Dunkin' Connecting Joy helps bring comprehensive gaming programs to hospitals nationwide. Gaming is not only a wonderful activity for kids of all ages and abilities, it can help provide them with a sense of normalcy and connection while hospitalized, providing positive distraction from their ongoing care. These grants support hospitals with equipment, staffing, connectivity, and other relevant needs so that kids can enjoy gaming experiences at their bedside and even play with family and friends back home.
Dunkin' Prom
Dunkin' Prom is focused on teenage patients at hospitals nationwide who due to illness and treatment may miss out on their own prom night experiences.Prom is celebrated by almost every teen each spring, but for young patients battling illness, there is a chance they'll miss this milestone moment. Dunkin' Prom provides funding to hospitals to host proms themselves so that teen patients can still experience this rite of passage. The program provides funding for grantee hospitals to develop a prom theme and secure event space, food, entertainment, photographers, formal wear for patients and ultimately provide an incredible prom night for teens. The Foundation has funded nearly 70 proms across the country since the program inception.
Dunkin' Joyful Spaces
Dunkin' Joyful Spaces bring the joy of play and healing to kids battling illness and their families, offering them a space with a sense of normalcy within the hospital environment.Hospitals and health centers are typically sterile environments that don't provide a sense of normalcy for pediatric patients and their loved ones. Dunkin' Joyful Spaces help by creating and revitalizing places within these environments for kids and their families to escape the traditional hospital setting while undergoing care. These kid friendly spaces include community gardens, playgrounds, playrooms and more. Launched in 2022, this program has granted more than 20 Dunkin' Joyful Spaces to date.
JOY FOUNDATIONJoy in Action
Over the last 11 years, Dunkin' franchisees and team members have volunteered more than 30,000 hours of their time to support local hunger-relief organizations and children's hospitals across the country.
