What's Unique About Dunkin's On-Tap Coffee Bar?
BY MEGAN HAGEMAN
The first Dunkin' On Tap opened in the company's home city of Quincy, Massachusetts, in 2018. These stores feature electronic kiosks and designated mobile pick-up drive-thrus.
The most exciting novelty is the tap system, which pours eight of Dunkin's signature cold beverages from a tap, including coffees, teas, and nitro-infused cold brews.
There are more than 1,000 locations nationwide, which you can identify by the "On Tap" logo on the Dunkin' app or by the absence of the word "Donuts" on the store signs.
The on-tap coffee's freshness is a concern, but Dunkin' consumers across Facebook and TikTok share that the drinks at these locations are more dependable and often taste better.
The technology behind the tap and its ability to control factors such as temperature and freshness are likely the reasons for its seemingly superior flavor.
Additionally, Dunkin's nitro cold brew can only be found at these On Tap stores. Other special drinks offered at these locations include the Shakerato or Cold Brew Latte.
