Dunkin' Donuts by Nutmeg State — Review by Daym Drops
New Britain, United States — Donuts and Coffee
Daym Drops reviews the King Kylie collection at Dunkin' Donuts in New Britain, Connecticut, initially skeptical but pleasantly surprised by most items. The ice cream cake donut and iced cloud latte with strawberry cold foam were standouts, while the lemon coconut drink fell flat with its conflicting lemonade-coffee combination.
What was great: Ice cream cake donut with Oreo cookie crumble and chocolate interior, strawberry shortcake donut, iced cloud latte with French vanilla swirl and strawberry cold foam, pink pineapple refresher with dragon fruit
What could improve: Lemon coconut drink with oat milk and strawberry foam - described as a bad date with clashing lemonade and coffee flavors
The Dishes
The reviewer sampled several items from the King Kylie collection along with specialty Dunkin' donuts. The ice cream cake donut emerged as a highlight, featuring a soft chocolate interior topped with Oreo cookie crumble and light whipped buttercream. The reviewer humorously compared it to a Boston cream mixed Oreo cookie dream but in donut form. The strawberry shortcake donut arrived as a surprise, presenting a glazed strawberry exterior with strawberry and cream crumble on top, which the reviewer playfully nicknamed the ghetto strawberry pop rock donut due to the tart crumble pieces not popping like actual pop rocks. The candied bacon with peppercorn also made an appearance as a crispy, sweet complement to the drinks.
From the King Kylie collection, the iced cloud latte with two French vanilla swirls, milk, and strawberry cold foam became the reviewer's favorite, paired perfectly with the strawberry donut. The pink pineapple refresher with dragon fruit and pink candy foam impressed as well, with the reviewer dramatically praising the dragon fruit flavor. However, the lemon coconut drink with oat milk and strawberry cold foam proved disappointing, with the lemonade flavor clashing poorly against the coffee base.
The Experience
This was a drive-thru only Dunkin' location situated in New Britain, Connecticut, near Planeville by the Nutmeg State area. The service was friendly and attentive, with a staff member helping guide the reviewer through the menu and even offering samples. The reviewer mentioned the employee came out with items and made helpful recommendations. The casual, drive-thru setting kept the experience quick and convenient, though the reviewer arrived initially unenthusiastic about the assignment.
Value and Pricing
No specific pricing was mentioned in the transcript, though the items appeared to be standard Dunkin' offerings from a specialty limited-time collection.
Notable Moments
I was hating, King Kie. I was hating, boo. I was hating. I ain't going to hold you. I came into this one hating. I can't even hate no more.
This passion fruit, I hate it. I hate the way that it tastes so good. I hate it.
The reviewer joked about finding a bite already taken out of his glazed donut before he could sample it, blaming a squirrel. He also delivered an elaborate metaphor comparing the disappointing lemon coconut drink to a bad first date met through dating apps, noting the conversation was mid and boring.
The Verdict
Despite entering the video with extreme skepticism about the Kardashian collaboration, Daym Drops left genuinely impressed by most offerings, particularly the iced cloud latte and specialty donuts. The pink pineapple refresher earned high marks despite his conflicted feelings about it. This location is best for anyone curious about limited-time Dunkin' collaborations or looking for drive-thru convenience with quality specialty items. However, avoid the lemon coconut drink if coffee and lemonade combinations are not your preference.
