As shown in the picture above, this question has been an age-old battle between both companies. Some people are stuck in the middle while making this decision but some will fight to protect their side. Here are the Dunkin and Starbucks fall menus (from both websites), which one will you choose?
Dunkin:
- Iced Dunkalatte™
- Maple Sugar Bacon Breakfast Sandwich
- Pumpkin Spice Iced Signature Latte
- Pumpkin Donut
- Almond Spice Iced Coffee
- Pumpkin Muffin
Starbucks:
- Pumpkin Spice Latte
- Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew
- Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai
- (New) Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai
- Apple Crisp Oat Milk Macchiato
- Iced Apple Crisp Oat Milk shaken Espresso
- Raccoon Cake Pop
- Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin
- Baked apple Croissant
- Pumpkin & Pepita Loaf
I wanted to know your opinion and get an answer. So through a survey I was able to see which company Montrose favored! There were a total of 108 responses! Here is what everyone said:
I was very surprised with this outcome. Originally I thought Dunkin would have claimed first place. Many people pointed out that Dunkin was cheaper, had better food items, and more selection. On the flip side, Starbucks is closer to Montrose, has better drinks, and their items taste much better than their rival. Many people commented that Starbucks Pumpkin Chai Latte is out of this world. But many mentioned that the food is less flavorful. Overall, Starbucks is Montrose’s winner!
