The Dunkin’ located on 34th Street, opposite Yeshiva University’s Beren Campus in NYC, has lost its kosher certification. Previously certified by Rabbi Aaron Mehlman and National Kosher Supervision, this Dunkin’ is now serving non-kosher food, and kosher consumers are advised to stop purchasing items there.
### What Happened
The location no longer holds a valid certification, meaning all food served is now treif (non-kosher). This establishment had been a reliable source of kosher snacks for years, particularly for Stern College students.
### A Fixture for Students and Workers
For many, this Dunkin’ was the closest kosher coffee shop to campus and a go-to spot for quick snacks, making it an integral part of the local kosher scene. Unfortunately, all pastries and sandwiches are now off-limits.
### Impact on Kosher Consumers
Consumers should cease purchases from this location as everything sold there is now considered treif. If this was your regular spot for coffee or treats, alternative options are necessary.
### Other Kosher Dunkin’ Locations
There are still other Dunkin’ locations in Manhattan certified by Rabbi Mehlman. Consumers should always look for a current certification posted in the store before making purchases, as certifications can be revoked without any visible changes at the storefront.
### Important Note
The Dunkin’ at 140 East 34th Street is no longer kosher. For more information on kosher dining options nearby, consider downloading the KosherNearMe app.
