The Dunkin' at 5824 Montezuma Rd, Suite 160, in College Area sits inside the South Campus Plaza complex directly south of San Diego State University, making it one of the closest chain coffee outlets to the SDSU residence halls. Founded by Bill Rosenberg in Quincy, Massachusetts, in 1950, the Dunkin' brand now operates thousands of locations worldwide, and this 92115 storefront is part of a small San Diego County footprint that includes downtown and Mira Mesa outposts. The espresso program uses 100-percent Rainforest Alliance Certified beans, and the core drink menu spans hot and iced lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos, Americanos, and the chain's proprietary cold brew system. Breakfast sandwiches are assembled to order on croissants, English muffins, and bagels, and the donut case stocks over 50 varieties ranging from the original glazed to seasonal limited releases. Montezuma Road is the primary east-west artery connecting SDSU's south campus to the College Avenue commercial strip, and the Dunkin' picks up foot traffic from students walking between the residence halls, the transit center, and Crispy Fried Chicken on El Cajon Boulevard and other quick-service spots in the same campus orbit. Curbside pickup and delivery through Grubhub, Uber Eats, and DoorDash extend the reach beyond walk-in traffic, and the Dunkin' Rewards app allows mobile ordering that skips the counter queue. Energy Refreshers — fruit-flavored iced drinks with green tea — have expanded the brand's menu beyond traditional coffee into the iced-beverage category that competes directly with boba and smoothie shops near campus. The franchise format means this location runs on standardized recipes and supply chains, but the campus-adjacent positioning gives it a specific role as the grab-and-go breakfast option for students who need coffee and a bagel between early lectures. The same South Campus Plaza block includes Smashburger and other quick-service restaurants, creating a mini food court that serves the SDSU dining ecosystem south of Campanile Drive. Protein-boosted iced lattes made with protein milk deliver 15 grams of protein per medium serving, targeting the fitness-conscious segment of the campus population.
