When I was going to FCCJ South Campus I would almost always stop at the Dunkin Donuts on Beach Boulevard between 9A and the campus. There coffee was always fresh and most of the time so were all of their donuts. When they closed the store last year I was VERY disappointed. But I notice before Christmas that they were just renovating the store! I haven’t been in the area recently but plan on going by this week to see what progress they have made. The store is conveniently located next to a strip mall with a red light so you can get back onto Beach Boulevard without taking your life in your hands. And All of the UNF Students can get their easily by taking the North Entrance Road turn right on Central Parkway and left onto Beach Boulevard.
There is something about a fresh cup of coffee and a fresh glazed donut that just sets you up for learning. It gives you a sugar rush and a caffeine buzz that is for sure. No, it is not good for you and yes, the prices can be a little steep but they are much less than a Starbucks coffee and Starbucks doesn’t have those melt-in-your mouth donuts either! Dunkin Donuts is a Franchise business and your service, shopping experience and the bakers are all controlled by the local owner. Sadly, the franchising rights to the Jacksonville Florida area are sold out so we have to depend on the current owners to make our dining experience exceptional. For the most part most of the shops that I have been to (and I have been to quite a few) are pretty good. It is usually all in the timing of when you go to get the freshest donuts. When this stored closed I had to go to the end of JTB (J. Turner Butler Boulevard) and Phillips Highway to get my Dunkin Coffee Fix and they only sell Bowties in the mornings and only in limited quantities but they are open 24 hours a day. I also go to the Dunkin Donuts at the beach on Beach Boulevard next the the Rainbow Car Wash but they are only open from 4:00am to 11:00pm.
