A Dunkin Donuts was constructed a few miles from my house about six months ago. It's drive-thru only. No going inside at all unless you work there. I'm wondering if that was a conscious pandemic-related choice or if Dunkin Donuts has had a bunch of drive-thru only locations. Anyone?
I'm by no means a coffee snob, but I try to have my "morning" coffee every day. (I'm a night owl, so sometimes that first coffee is, like, now—which is 11 a.m.) My daughter buys me a bag of this coffee for Christmas most years now, and I love it. Very smoooooth:

Other than that, I have a few local favorite shops, especially Café Kolache, about three miles from my house:
https://cafekolache.com/ The owners are great fun, the kolaches are scrumptious (both breakfast and lunch types). Their coffee is as close to perfect as I've ever tasted. A few years ago a Starbucks moved in just down the block, and I worried for the future of my beloved little coffee shop. But... no worries! Starbucks has its very different type of client, and Café Kolache's patrons are incredibly loyal. Both shops survive at opposite ends of the block of the small town near me.
And now, I'm off to drink my Hannah's blend with a little Sweet 'n Low and some Coffee Mate sugar-free Italian Sweet Creme creamer, in my punctuation mug given to me by a writer friend, the mug sitting on a coffee warmer so I can sip for hours. No judgment, please.
