This. Dunken Donuts has been a known brand since the 70's. They also pioneered the yeast over cake donut. local bakeries will always be better, but Dunken, like all chains, made it's money by being a known factor for travellers and truckers, and selling a stable if mediocre product in all locations. It got it's start before the flourishing of all it's rivals.

This, combined with aggressive marketing and low costs, made them big. From what I understand they're getting their shit pushed in by other coffee places these days, hence their diversified menu

Had Krispy Kreme long time ago when they opened up a few near me and they were melt in your mouth amazing! Havent had one in a while and most of them closed down.

No one posting best donut shop. Krumpes in Hagerstown MD. Been around since 1934 and still going strong. Just a tiny place in a back alley but delicious.

I never trie dthat one, but their donuts in general are so good.

My friend and I usually just split the plain old fashioned donut- just the fried dough with no glaze, frosting, filling. Nice and big, crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy in the middle.

Perfect with a cup of coffee.

yes, sometimes i am too lazy. sometimes i also don't want to pay for bulk items at the time when i can buy a 12 inch sandwich for $5 on the go.

but you know, sometimes i make my sandwiches at home, and sometimes i buy sandwich ingredients in bulk.

Nah, I don't care if others like it, everyone has different opinions. My closest subway is at the front of a walmart literally 20 steps from the deli with much better meats, breads and cheeses not to mention other yummy stuff though so that's maybe why.

Protip from former DD employee: dont consume anything from there. Its all grossly unsanitary and most are willing to break safety law to not order fresh things and write down false temps.
Even the coffee isnt safe. Youll get decaf or regular even if you specified one if the person doesn't feel like brewing the right pot.

God, I hate DD. I'm not from the US though, so it's possible that the stores we have here are simply shit.

They're cheap, but I'll never go there again if I can help it. I got their iced coffee and the fucking sugar was still there at the bottom unmelted.

I love their munchkins though. I don't know if this is a universal product of them.

Experienced this before the first time dad brought home a box of KK original glaze. Years after, they finally opened a store near here but the taste was really different -- it was just sugar on top of sugar. It didn't taste like how it was before.

>> No.5609686

DD is base line. But I noticed the one in Tucson tasted a lot different than in VA. It was weird. The best places to get doughnuts is at places that open at like 5 and have construction workers there constantly. At least in my experiences. Also over priced doughnuts taste worse 75% of the time, the fuck is up with that.

These are way overhyped in the kawaii community.

I've had breakfast cereals with more flavor than these crappy cookies, plus they're difficult to make by hand. You can pay out the ass for almond flour or half-ass your own ground almonds if you're a poorfag. Getting the consistency correct is a bitch and there's too many "guides" online that lie about it.

The only flavor these have are from the cream in the middle but more often than not the whole thing just tastes like caster sugar-induced diabetes. I've had them bought too, same gross shit.
