Best value coffee: Dunkin' Donuts

"America Runs on Dunkin'," and so does Newark.

Dunkin' Donuts was founded in 1950 by Bill Rosenberg when he opened the first Dunkin' Donuts shop in Quincy, Mass., according to Dunkin' Donuts' Web site. Since then, the chain has opened 6,395 stores in 34 states and 2,440 international shops in 31 countries, one of which is on Main Street.

Dunkin' Donuts supplies hundreds of university students with their daily dose of caffeine at an affordable price. Kiait Patel, the manager of the Dunkin' Donuts on Main Street, says on average his store feeds and hydrates approximately 1,200 students per day.

The university also operates a Dunkin' Donuts in the Perkins Student Center.

Not a day goes by in which hoards of students don't make their way down the Green, carrying their Dunkin' Donuts coffee to class.

Dunkin Donuts' coffee almost a permanent accessory to many students' lives, which is not surprising since it's hard to beat its perfectly roasted coffee and incredibly inexpensive prices.

"Same coffee, same quality, all the time," Patel says.

He says his best selling is "definitely the iced coffee." At the low price of $1.89 for a small, it's something that no other coffee shop can really compete with.

This year the best of Newark cheap coffee award goes to our students' favorite - Dunkin' Donuts.

Bill's Park Deli in the Park'n'Shop has good coffee for 1.29 for a large. Even less for medium/small. It is out of the way (Apple road and Elkton) but totally cheap.
