I couldn't cache the 10-cent cup of coffee era. But I got the feeling of it...

Dunkin Donuts on Southern Artery in Quincy has an unusual style one that restored the look and feel of the restaurant to what it was when it opened in 1950, down to the old-fashioned script outdoor sign and horseshoe counter with stools.

The retro in Dunkin is one of a kind and most probably will remain that way. This old-fashioned decor creates a buzz around a small shop with no drive-through and limited parking.

In 1950, coffee was only a dime a cup, and the choices were original and decaf. Today a small coffee costs $1.55, but oh the choices: nine permanent flavors, plus four seasonal ones such as pumpkin and gingerbread. A dozen doughnuts originally cost 69 cents; today they are $6.99 a dozen.

Bill Rosenberg sold the original Quincy store to his sister, Bertha Schwarz, who then sold the store to Jose Carvalho, Victor and Octavio�s father, in 1979. Their father, a former factory worker, was looking to create a better life for his family. The brothers now run the Quincy store along with eight other locations.

Unfortunately I didn't eat or drink in there because I don't like Dunkin's coffee nor donuts.

Dunkin has nearly 12,000 locations in 36 countries, which is one of the largest coffee and baked goods chains in the world. Because that if you cross by Quincy MA please stop by this Landmark location. ...More
