Can coffee help brew romance? This past weekend, Zoosk, in partnership with Dunkin’ Donuts, conducted an online survey of 14,161 Zoosk members to determine coffee’s connection to meeting a special someone. Some of the results include:
- For an ideal first date, coffee is the winner over dinner: Exactly two-thirds (67%) of people said that having a casual conversation over coffee would be the ideal first date with someone they just met online. Going out to a fancy, romantic candle-lit dinner was a distant second at 24%.
- Coffee as romantic as a fancy dinner? There may be a reason why you can’t spell cupid without “cup:” Nearly 72% of people said that that going out for coffee can be just as romantic as a fancy dinner.
- Brew beats bloom: More than half of people (51%) said they would rather receive a fresh cup of coffee from their sweetheart than fresh flowers.
- What is the most romantic flavor of coffee? French Vanilla was number one, followed by Caramel.
This Valentine’s Day season, Dunkin’ Donuts is spreading the love with two varieties of heart-shaped donuts, introducing the new Cookie Dough Donut, featuring cookie-dough flavored buttercream filling, topped with chocolate icing and chocolate chips, and bringing back the Brownie Batter Donut, filled with chocolaty brownie batter flavored buttercream filling and topped with chocolate icing and heart sprinkles.
For a perfect Valentine’s Day beverage for coffee lovers, Dunkin’ Donuts’ Brown Sugar Cinnamon Latte and Coffee, available hot or iced, serves up some sugar and spice with a combination of classic kitchen flavors to create a warm, indulgent taste. All menu items are available at participating Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants nationwide through February.
