Wow, your Dunkin Donuts are horrible. I absolutely LOVE peppermint mocha from Dunkin Donuts. I actually found this site by googling it because I was hoping they had it out. (They don’t, apparently it’s still pumpkin latte season.) It is not iced, it is not coffee. It’s a real latte. It’s actually pretty much the same as Starbucks, which I also love. Granted, their customer service is terrible, but I’ve become used to it, and it’s worth the lack of service for the price.

They must really like you because I asked around in late January and I got nothing but wait until next season.

I swear that DD advertised it as a Latte, but of course I haven’t seen an ad for it since then.

I’d retry the DD one as a hot coffee (way too cold for iced coffees right now), but with the service at my local DD’s I’m pretty nervous about them getting it right.

Thanks for the support on the petition, still working on it!

I had a similar problem, where I asked for a peppermint mocha at DD expecting it to be a latte, and they asked me if I wanted cream and sugar so I was confused, restated that I ordered a peppermint mocha, and was asked again so I ordered it with milk and sugar. Apparently it’s just like peppermint mocha flavoring added to coffee. I really like it now that I know how to order it, it’s like a lighter version of the starbucks and more like coffee and less latte.
There isn’t a starbucks anywhere close at home except in barnes and noble and when I got a peppermint mocha there it wasn’t nearly as good as the ones from an actual starbucks (which I love btw, it tastes like love, and I hope your petition goes through!)

But taste-wise, I like starbucks better, it’s definitely a treat, but DD is good for just a regular coffee fix (and I feel a little less guilty about it haha)

I saw that peppermint mocha milkshake at Chik Fil A, I wonder if I can get them to add some caffeine to it.

We discussed this last week, I am trying one of these this week. Well since I don't do Dunkin Donuts anymore I guess it will be the Starbucks one, or the Chik Fil A one. .-= Extreme John´s last blog ..Video from Our Christmas Light Tour =-.

I agree that it is pretty sweet and I don’t drink it every day…at least not this year. I like to mix it in with my regular routine of less sweet drinks.

Totally agree with you, it needs to be hot. I started just getting the talls, because with the grandes it was just not the same by the end.

I wish I could get Dunkin Donuts food without their coffee and without their service. In fact, I could go for an evening snack of some munchkins and Starbucks peppermint mocha right now.

my wife adores this Peppermint Mocha which Starbucks brews/blends.
i think it’s a bit too sweet if you want my honest opinion but am not
adverse to sharing a cup with her on a cold drive back home.

another issue… this drink is a lot better when really warm or almost
too hot, than it is cold. i wouldn’t care to test out an unexpected
iced peppermint coffee at Dunkin. the one local to us has pretty
good donuts, but their coffee is way off. Dunkin does sell ‘munchkins’
which i like in moderation.

i haven’t mixed the Starbucks Peppermint Mocha with
those ‘munchkins’ yet but that is a good TO DO LIST addition.
i guess i’ll have to share some with my wife at some point.
(insert big smile to the wife here!)
