Operated by Burton Foods, a San Diego franchise group led by Tali Burton that runs more than 15 Dunkin' locations countywide, the Dunkin' at 1774A Garnet Ave, 92109, is a coffee and donut shop bringing the full lineup of America's largest coffee-and-baked-goods chain to Pacific Beach. This location opened in late 2023 inside the Pacific Plaza shopping center, replacing a previous Starbucks, and features a next-generation store design with a cold brew tap system for nitro coffee, a front counter bakery case, and a dedicated area for mobile order pickups. The energy-efficient build is certified to use 25 percent less energy than a standard Dunkin' outlet. Founded in Canton, Massachusetts, in 1950, Dunkin' serves more than three million customers daily across thousands of locations worldwide. Grocery runs at neighboring Ralphs pair naturally with a quick coffee stop here on the way in or out of the plaza. Hours run from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, and the menu covers classic donuts, breakfast sandwiches, espresso drinks, and Dunkin' Refreshers. Curbside pickup is available for app orders, and validated parking in the shopping center lot keeps the visit hassle-free. The patio dining scene at bar Ella Pacific Beach on Garnet offers a relaxed spot for brunch after a morning coffee run. This Pacific Beach outpost operates seven days a week with no seasonal closures.
