There used to be two Dunkin’ Donuts within close driving distance from my apartment about 2-3 years ago, but both are now gone. One was knocked down to make way for a Safeway and the other was in a horrible location, which caused it to close and it is now occupied by a Chinese seafood restaurant. If they were still around, I would be able to taste the new Dunkin’ Donuts Waffle Breakfast Sandwich.
Instead, I’m forced to only dream about its cherrywood smoked bacon, scrambled eggs and American cheese in between two maple-infused waffles. Actually, because I can never taste that goodness, I wouldn’t be dreaming. I would be having a nightmare, which would force me to try to Frankenstein it by build one using Eggo waffles, Oscar Mayer turkey bacon, Egg Beaters, generic pancake syrup and Velveeta slices.
The Dunkin’ Donuts Waffle Breakfast Sandwich contains 390 calories, 23 grams of fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 1000 milligrams of sodium, 28 grams of carbs, 1 grams of dietary fiber, 6 grams of sugar, and 16 grams of protein. It will be available through March 17 in states that have a Dunkin’ Donuts at a suggested retail price of $2.99.

I actually came up with the idea for a breakfast sandwich between two waffles in a dream several months ago.
I had ordered it in the dream, from McDonalds, by mistake but it ended up being delicious (at least in my mind).
That looks awesome: https://www.dunkindonuts.com/aboutus/products/WaffleBreakfastSandwich.aspx
Must eat one.
Aw, don’t feel bad, you can always try the McDonalds McGriddle:

Oddly enough, my own local Dunkin’ Donuts was also shut down and replaced by a Chinese place! It’s about an hour-and-a-half’s drive to the nearest one, but I’m in that area a lot anyway, so I’ll make sure to get a snapshot for your… continued jealousy, I guess.
They don’t have a Dunkin’ Donuts over here, either… 🙁 My boss is from Jersey and he weeps about not being able to go to Dunkin’ Donuts like he can back east. I just kind of sit there and nod and think about how it doesn’t really matter to me because I don’t drink coffee, though they had some good donuts and now I’m missing out because I live in California where these things don’t exist anymore and I type out run-on sentences, though that really doesn’t have anything to do with anything.
yet another drool inducing picture and review, my laptop is not amused…
Wow, that does look good. And those nutrition numbers – no trans fat and less than 400 calories – almost qualify it as healthy (relative to what I would expect it to be)!
Almost.. Why would such a thing need a full gram of sodium??
Did they closed the Dunkin’ Donuts in Kailua, next to Foodland? Bummer.
Nah, I’ll pass on that. I tried the McGriddle a long time ago too, and didn’t think that was all that great either.
For savory-meets-sweet breakfast sandwiches, I’ll take Zippy’s most excellent Portuguese Omelet Sandwich, which is made with a FRESH Portuguese Sweet Bread roll, filled with a Portuguese Sausage and (melted) Cheddar Cheese Omelet. SOOOO ono! The ham version is pretty good too.
OMG. I want one!
Thank you DD. I love waffles made into a sandwich.
We don’t have many Dunkin’ Donuts where I live, but this might be worth driving five miles for. (Last summer, when gas was $4 a gallon, it probably wouldn’t have been.)
in chicago dd is debuting a new breakfast sandwich: http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=news/local&id=6638790
this waffle joint reminds me of a fast food version of this:

I live right next to a DD. By right next to I mean I could pee on the building from my couch. Been there once for a cookie
nothing great.
Oooh, Pomai, thanks for reminding me about the Zippy’s breakfast sandwich; that’ll be my breakfast tomorrow. Looking forward to it now.
Marvo, since McDonald’s already has a very similar product, that Dunkin Donuts sandwich looks kind of unimpressive.
Aw damn, you got a stock picture. Well, I’m taking a photo anyway! HARRUMPH.
makes me want to puke
I am eating one right now. No sweetness in the waffle like at McDonalds, and it is terribly dry. And of course, barely any bacon.
I would like to say DD ripped me off, but I’m the idiot who ordered this crap.
Someone please explain to me the allure of American cheese! It doesn’t taste like anything.
I’ve never been able to compare the taste of American cheese to anything other than American cheese. It’s some sort of reflexive conundrum, I think. I still think I’d prefer a two-slice American cheese grilled cheese on Wonderbread over say.. a fromage blanc grilled cheese on sliced brioche with caramelized pears and a drizzle of raw honey.
Both are delicious, the latter probably more delicious, but I can’t trust a person who doesn’t love a good Wonderbread American cheese grilled sandwich.
Ohhhhhh That last one sounds like heaven in my mouth. Sorry, I’m going with the Brioche!!!
Actually I’d kinda like reading your review of the frankenstein version.
Is it only for breakfast?
OhMyFGod, i had one of these over the weekend on my way snowboarding. They are awesome, better than macgriddles HANDS DOWN – it kept me not hungry forever
I tried one of theses today and was disappointed. Waaaaay too salty and too sweet at the same time… I didn’t think this was possible until I tasted this sandwich. I was also expecting the waffles to have a bit of a crisp, but they were soggy. Would not recommend.
I wish we had DD over here in the West Coast.
You really don’t have any near you?? Holy shit, I can’t even imagine that considering I live in New England and there’s at least one in every town. But usually at least five.
