Mastering Your Dunkin’ Run: Adding Favorites in the App
Want to streamline your Dunkin’ experience? Adding favorites to your Dunkin’ app is the key to quick and easy ordering. Here’s how you do it: Simply navigate to the menu, customize your desired drink or food item exactly to your liking (milk type, sugar level, etc.), and then tap the “Add to Favorites” button – it’s typically represented by a heart icon. Your perfect Dunkin’ creation is now saved for lightning-fast reordering!
Why Bother with Dunkin’ App Favorites?
In the fast-paced world we live in, every second counts. Fumbling through menus, re-entering complex drink customizations, and second-guessing your usual order? Ain’t nobody got time for that! The Dunkin’ app’s “Favorites” feature is a game-changer, transforming your ordering process from a tedious chore into a smooth, efficient operation. Think of it as your personal Dunkin’ concierge, ready to whip up your go-to order at a moment’s notice. Saving your preferred items minimizes the risk of errors, ensures consistency with every order, and ultimately gets that much-needed caffeine jolt into your system faster. Beyond just saving time, it reduces the cognitive load associated with decision-making first thing in the morning. A truly beautiful thing!
The Step-by-Step Guide to Favoriting Your Fix
Let’s break down the process into actionable steps:
Step 1: Navigating to the Menu
Open your Dunkin’ app. If you aren’t already logged in, do so. On the home screen, look for the “Order” or “Menu” button. Tap it to access the full array of Dunkin’ delights.
Step 2: Choosing Your Item and Customizing It
Browse the categories (Coffee, Donuts, Sandwiches, etc.) to find the item you crave. Once you’ve selected it, the customization screen appears. This is where the magic happens. Adjust everything to your precise preferences:
- Drinks: Specify your preferred milk (almond, oat, coconut, etc.), sugar levels, number of espresso shots, add flavors, select hot or iced, and even specify whipped cream or toppings.
- Food: Indicate any modifications you want (no bacon, extra cheese, etc.).
Step 3: Adding to Favorites
After meticulously crafting your perfect order, look for the heart icon, usually located near the item’s name or description on the customization screen. Sometimes it appears with the words “Add to Favorites“. Tap that heart! It should change color to indicate that the item has been successfully saved.
Step 4: Accessing and Using Your Favorites
To find your saved favorites, return to the app’s home screen. Look for a “Favorites” section. This might be a separate tab or a dedicated area on the main screen. All your saved items will be displayed here. Simply tap on the item you want, review the details, and tap “Add to Order“. It’s that simple!
Pro Tip: Name Your Favorites!
While the app automatically saves your customized items, consider renaming them to something more descriptive. Instead of just “Iced Coffee,” you could name it “Oat Milk Iced Coffee – Half Sweet.” This makes it even easier to distinguish between similar items when you’re bleary-eyed and in need of caffeine. The option to edit a favorite’s name is usually found when viewing the favorite item’s details.
Troubleshooting Common “Favorite” Fails
Even with a user-friendly app like Dunkin’s, glitches can happen. Here’s how to tackle some common issues:
Problem: Heart Icon Not Appearing
- Solution: Ensure you are logged into your Dunkin’ account. Sometimes, features are restricted to registered users. Also, make sure you’re on the item’s customization screen, not just the general menu listing. If the problem persists, try closing and reopening the app.
Problem: Favorites Disappearing
- Solution: This is often a temporary glitch. Try logging out of the app and then back in. If the problem persists for more than a few hours, contact Dunkin’ customer support through the app’s “Help” or “Contact Us” section.
Problem: Unable to Edit Favorites
- Solution: The editing feature may not be available on all items. However, you can always delete the existing favorite and create a new one with the updated specifications.

The “Favorites” feature is just one piece of the Dunkin’ app puzzle. Explore other features to maximize your Dunkin’ experience:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How many favorites can I save on the Dunkin’ app?
There is no explicitly stated limit to the number of favorites you can save. However, for optimal performance and ease of navigation, it’s a good practice to curate your list and remove any items you no longer order regularly.
2. Can I add seasonal items to my favorites?
Yes! If the seasonal item is available on the menu and customizable, you can add it to your favorites just like any other item. Remember that seasonal items will disappear from the menu (and your favorites list) when they are no longer offered.
3. Can I reorder my favorites from previous orders?
No, the favorites function is separate from your order history. Favorites are items you have proactively saved.
4. What happens if a favorite item is discontinued?
If an item is discontinued and removed from the Dunkin’ menu, it will likely disappear from your “Favorites” list. You might receive a notification, but it’s best to periodically review your list and remove any unavailable items.
