Who looooves Dunkin Donuts?? and do you have any near you?? I'm in Rhode Island and they are everywhere around here! they're the best!

LOL Eric has two chocolate frosted donuts and a huge coffee at DD on the way to wrk everyday

They are YUMMY!There used to be a DD in the town where i lived in SPain a long time ago but then it closed and i had not had them in years! Now I am making it up for the lost time

The ones in upstate NY are fabulous.

However, I hate the ones in FL. So much that when I ran out of gift certificates, I was happy I no longer had to go there.

Nothing but problems down here. Can't wait til we move back up North and have nice DD again. May be 10 yrs..


My brother worked for them though, and oh boy the franchises like to screw over their employees.

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 in RI???? I'm in RI!!!

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

They do have Tim Hortons in RI. Inlaws have a summer house in Middletown RI, so always look forward to visting and getting a Tims!! The Dunkin Donut gal here in fallas Church kno wmy order, I dont have to say anything, which is good, because there primary language is Spanish,lol

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.

love mine a mile away

I'm a shipley's lover.

don't think I have ever tried Dunkin Donuts... i have tried Krispy Kreme and I am not crazy about them..

the best donuts I have had down here were at this Chinese fast food and bakery place... YUM!! YUM!! the Chinese food is really good there too

Donuts make me feel very guilty, 'cus they're deep fried doughs, full of sugar. I do like them though, but for their ammount of calories there are more yummy things.

Their coffee is way better than Starbucks!

there 3 Dunkin Donuts stores on my way to work, and i only live 10 minutes away from work. When I first move here to Mass My husband used to stop every morning for a coffee and I swore I would still make my coffee at home just like i always did in OZ,,GUESS who now stops every morning for a coffee at Dunkin Donuts

Well, I'm crazy for strawberry eclairs of DD

Love those awful awfuls~~~ Wish they didnt stick to my belly so much!! I wil be up in RI in June for a bit, cant wait for a timmys and am awful awful.

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 have not found one in dallas. not that i am looking but, I found one in Pakistan.I had jelly filled of course.lol
I also found one in london. lol

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

crispy creme is much better than DD..

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!!

Carla

ha! you need to have a REAL Crispy Cream. Every one knows they are best when they are Fresh!!! your canadian so how would you know anyways!

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.


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

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..

Yes it is!

No DD near me. Have to settle for a Krispy Kreme at Kroger.

Since the Krispy Kreme maintains their donuts are always fresh I assumed they were??? They were still dripping in grease and as I said earlier, two different kinds tasted the same.

And your reference to Canadians is pitiful. Please keep THOSE type of comments to yourself.

Update for Kathryn41, there are seven metro-Atlanta Area locations of KK:

1. The aforementioned one near Big Chicken
2. Atlanta St., Roswell
3. 2 in City of Atlanta (Ponce de Leon Av, Evans St. SW)
4. Pleasant Hill Rd., Duluth
5. US-78, Lilburn
6. GA-85, Riverdale

Actually, you can get FRESH KK @ US-31 southbound in Indianapolis

The LAST visit we made to KK was awful! The coffee was worse than Charbucks worst. The donut was ok, but gawd...that coffee literally made me gag.

That was the one near Mall of Georgia, Buford Hwy, for you Georgians.

Again, no-where near me as that's at least an hour or so away!

I've got a Krispy Cream about 300 yards from here. Give me a DD any day.

Not a single one in town, in fact there's not a single donut place in town.

No doughnut shops in Philly?????

I live 200 miles from Philly!

I'm craving a dunkin donut now!

I lived up north as a kid so I do remember the Dunkin's ..there were a few here in the Dallas area but they all closed .. I do like the Krispy Kremes though..hot out of the donut maker. Much to my delight,,there was a Dunkin Donuts in Panama near my husband's house. Very trendy place to go there, apparently! I also noticed at the MIA airport that many people buy dozens of the donuts and munchkins there and take them home to their countries. I took a flight to Trinidad a few months back and I kid you not, at least 15 people had boxes of a dozen..taking them back to Port of Spain. I gues Donut Boys (their local donut chain) just doesn't measure up!

We have DD and a few mom and pop bakeries, Yum Yums in another area outside of Philly. I like DD donuts for the most part. KK is only good if you get the hot glazed, IMHO. Some grocery store donuts aren't bad either.

There's a DD about 5 mins away from me thats open 24/7

I always get an ice caramel latte with whipped cream and lil bit of sugar, thats the best!!

Sorry there's no DD near you mags! thats not right!

Now, I'll add insult-to-injury for some.

I had the opportunity (not availed of) to get some TH on the Easter (Apr. 6-8) weekend--as we had made a trip to Vassar, MI.

Woa, you have a major sweet tooth! I often wonder whether these flavored drinks should be served with a shot of insulin on the side. An ice caramel latte contains 36g of sugar which is around 9 teaspoons. Unless you're getting a no sugar version of course...

You can always take some ChromPic before going there.

I didn't read this thread until I saw it was getting a lot of traffic and got curious so I popped in. lol

I tried a Dunkin Donuts in Canada once, and they weren't very good. So when I saw the only donut shop within miles of me was a DD, I didn't bother going. Now since I've seen the rave reviews I think I'll give it a try.

I like Starbucks coffee but they're miles away. I always check them out when I see one to see if they have any of their famous carrot cake in stock. mmmmmmmmm

There's a Krispy Kreme in Orlando but that's also miles away. Every time I tried KK's coffee it was always cold so I don't like it. Their original donuts are fabulous fresh off the line.... not so great when they're cold, though.


Not sure why you would say this, babybunny. There are KK's in Canada... and we even leave the igloo sometimes and take the dogsled up north to Wisconsin to try the American version. Or were you referring to something else?

I'm not a big Dunkin Doughnuts fan.... but I grew up with and LOVE Krispy Kreme! I don't buy them in the grocery store on convenience stores, only from the stores where they make them right there on the property and only if the 'hot doughnuts NOW' sign is lit! They are so good, they melt in your mouth! Thank God there isn't one within a short drive from my house or I would weigh 500 lbs.

Also in Orlando, I just found a tiny little gormet doughnut store called Hotties. They have some unique doughnut flavors and are pretty good! For those of you in the Orlando area, they said there is one in Altamonte Springs and the one I went to on Palm Parkway over in Lake Buena Vista. YUMMY!

Lisa

I'll meet you over there!!!
