So when I heard that Dunkin' had stepped into the ring with their own Bacon & Cheddar Omelet Bites, I had to know: Could they compete with Starbucks' well-loved recipe? I stopped by both Starbucks and Dunkin' to get the full experience, opting for in-person pickup rather than mobile ordering.

Contender #1: Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites
The bites (two per order) themselves were small, round, and smooth, with bits of crispy bacon peeking out from the top. They looked evenly cooked, and there was no sign of dryness or over-browning.
Taste and Texture
The bacon and cheese flavors were well-balanced, with the nutty flavor of Gruyère adding a little something without overpowering the eggs. The bacon was generously scattered, though one bite had more than the other—a minor inconsistency but not a dealbreaker.

Contender #2: Dunkin' Omelet Bites
The packaging was slightly better—a separate paper bag inside the carrying bag—which helped keep them from getting crushed. However, upon closer inspection, the bites looked unevenly cooked. One was noticeably darker on one end, almost burnt, while the other looked slightly underdone.
Taste and Texture
Flavor-wise, they lacked depth. The bacon was nearly invisible—I found only a few tiny flecks—and it didn't add much in terms of smokiness or crunch. The cheese didn't come through either, making the overall bite feel bland compared to Starbucks.

The Winner of the Battle of the Egg Bites
While Dunkin's Omelet Bites are fine for a quick and convenient breakfast, they don't deliver the flavor or texture you'd expect for the price. The Starbucks egg bites, on the other hand, feel like a thoughtfully crafted recipe, with balanced flavors and a rich, creamy texture.
If you're looking for a high-protein, satisfying breakfast that actually tastes good, Starbucks is worth the splurge. But if you just need a quick, warm bite on the go, Dunkin' will do in a pinch—just don't expect much in the way of flavor.
