The only Dunkin Donuts in Austin

Finding fancy coffee made by a smug barista is easy in Austin, Texas. Drive-thru Starbucks are everywhere. And independent coffee shops thrive in this small business incubator. But finding a cup of the simple working class brew that helped build America takes a level of determination.

We mustered that determination recently and drove twelve miles to the only Dunkin Donuts in Austin. (Those other results you'll find in Google Maps are not Dunkin Donuts anymore!) This is the scene outside, off Highway 183.



This Dunkin Donuts may also be the only one in America that serves kolaches, those delicious Czech treats that are all too often bastardized in Central Texas with sub-par ingredients. A hot dog is not a sausage!

Dunkin Donuts said last year it will open fifty stores across Austin by 2018. So far no action on that front.
