Our History

In 1950, William Rosenberg had an epiphany. After creating a delightful range of donuts for the people of Massachusetts, he realised that everyone loved to dunk them in their coffee. The delicious combination of donuts and coffee became an experience to savour, and people kept coming back for more. Inspired by this phenomenon, Rosenberg made it his mission to offer the best quality coffee he could find. This took his business to a whole new level and Dunkin’ Donuts was born:

"Rosenberg made it his mission to offer the best quality coffee he could find."

In 2015, we are celebrating our 65th birthday, and our commitment to serving the finest coffee is stronger than ever. Each blend is carefully selected to ensure the richest, smoothest flavour possible. Whether a robust espresso, rich foamy cappuccino or indulgent latte, Dunkin’ Donuts is dedicated to serving high quality coffee packed with flavour. Our great range of snacks has grown too, with fresh sandwiches and pastries available alongside our delicious donuts.
