Dunkin Donuts

[CardiffIan 0]

I prefer Krispy kreme donuts to Dunkin Donuts - and i'm pretty sure they have something addictive in them, so I hate the fact that they're impossible to get in Wales. We've got about 6 starbucks in Cardiff but not one donut store - the nearest is probably in London.

I could probably qualify as a donut taster expert. I've had donuts in practically every country i've been to. The homemade ones in Fiji were very good. I got a bit of a surprise with the savoury fillings, like cheese and chilli, in Malaysian donuts, and I'm a big fan of Mexican chorro's style donuts. strawberry jam filled donuts freshly baked from an independent British bakerys are hard to beat though - its a shame so many bakeries have become chains though as they have sub-standard donuts.

But New Orleans is the only place I've been where donuts seemed to be accepted as a form of payment - I gave a doorman two Krispy kreme donuts instead of paying a $5 covercharge to get in a bar.

I think Rhode Islanders have an unnaturally strong attachment to DD...

RI and Mass are crazy about DD. I've never seen so many!

It is the only donut store I have found anywhere in the Atlanta region - and coming from Canada where there was a donut shop on every corner, it has been a real adjustment! Fortunately, there is one about 3 miles from where I live so I stop in pretty regularly for a medium (equivalent of Canadian large) vanilla coffee. I'm not a donut person but Dunkin Donut's coffee is 'almost' a reasonable substitute for Tim Horton's.

You're familiar with Krispy Kreme (there is one very near The Big Chicken)?

I love coffee and donuts. Coming from Canada, I'm quite particular about both!! Here in Missouri it seems most people don't even drink coffee?? , let alone eat donuts.

When travelling in the US the last few years, I found that at least Dunkin Donuts had some good stuff. Unfortunately, there are non in St. Louis.

There is a Krispy Kreme a few miles away from me. The place is filthy, and the smell disgusting. I had two "different" donuts, and they just tasted like the same old grease. GROSS!!!

If anyone can help me out with info on what's good, or where I might go, it would be appreciated!!

I go to DD for their coffee - I HATE anything but jelly filled donuts.

Krispy Kreme creates a stir, but a lot of them have been closing in their newer markets. There were lines out to the road when they first opened in Albany, NY, but they closed after a year or two. The brand new one in Clearwater, FL closed too. Dunkin Donuts is forcing them out in most markets - especially the northeast, by infiltrating the market - and Dunkin Donuts recognized the market for beverages, while KK didn't.

hahaha, i am dying over here. i honestly did't know that other people had such an affinity for their nectar of the gods. you know, dunkin donuts has been a topic of conversation ever since carlos and i have known each other. in fact, we have pictures of us in bogota with our small coffees with extra cream and sugar and our chocolate donuts, as well as here in chicago. we even hit the dunkin donuts following our vows. champagne had nothing on the tastey goodness of dunkin donuts coffee. not bitter like starbucks or caribou coffee, and pretty predictable. i like that. ah, yes, those two words constantly get brought up in conversation. it's true that we have an unusually large quantity here in chicago--which we love--but, i will be the first to admit that it is an addition on our part.

Can't pass a coffee thread without mentioning Wawa. They're regional...around Philadelphia. We have DD, but a lot of us prefer Wawa. And since flames9 is in here, I'll give a shout out to Tim's too.

Almost reasonable is a good description....'cause as anyone who's ever had Tim Horton's knows....there are few donuts to compare! Joel's favourite is the Maple Cream. Now all we need is for Tim's to make its way South.

Their coffee is way better than Starbucks!

ANYONE'S coffee is better than "Charbucks".

I blame this thread my stopping in for donuts on the way to work today. Seriously! I had such a craving

3 miles to the nearest Dunkin Donuts! That's ridiculous. I think that's against state law up here. There are two within a half mile of my house now. I grew up in a town with a population of 12,000 and I can count 8 Dunkin Donuts in the town off the top of my head.

BTW, Lisa...it's almost summer. Time for Newport Creamery's Awful Awfuls and Dell's frozen lemonade.

absolutely!!!!

Haven't seen much less been in a DD in many years - not sure that's a bad thing.

Love Krispy Kreme but they're closing their stores all over the place so have a feeling they'll soon go the way of DD too.. =( such lovely globs of sugary goodness..
