Although the cost... not a fan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-a-cronut#post-2159760 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 13:26:37 +0000 bpcmarj 2159760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one from Dunkin Donuts, but it was very similar to a French Cruller, and double the price. So it was meh to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-a-cronut#post-2159693 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 12:58:35 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2159693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't even know what it is but I hear they're yummy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-a-cronut#post-2159657 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 12:33:47 +0000 Raindrop 2159657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: What!?! You were so close! Bummers your husband colleague ate it.</p> <p>I never had one but I have had the fake ones that Dunkin Donut sales and that is pretty good. :) One of my NY friends that have had the original says it's pretty close. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-a-cronut#post-2159618 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 12:10:18 +0000 Meowkers 2159618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Not impressed. Both DH and I had the same reaction. We looked at each other, shrugged and said "eh." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-a-cronut#post-2159586 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 11:51:14 +0000 mauxie 2159586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!! Not the famous/original NYC ones, though. They sell plain and fancy cronuts at many bakeries around here (Los Angeles). All yum :) </p> <p>Haven't tried a cruffin yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-a-cronut#post-2159563 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 11:41:15 +0000 PurplePumps 2159563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, and I was totally underwhelmed. So not worth the hype. I would have been just as happy with a Dunkin glazed donut. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-a-cronut#post-2159545 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 11:31:41 +0000 hummusgirl 2159545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was way too lazy to get up early and stand in line but I saunter in around 1pm and had a DKA and it was really delicious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-a-cronut#post-2159466 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 10:50:55 +0000 youboots 2159466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesssssss. So good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-a-cronut#post-2159447 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 10:41:54 +0000 snowjewelz 2159447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh, I've had a bit of the original one and it's a lil too sweet for me. Since then everyone has their own version and it doesn't really do anything for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-a-cronut#post-2159239 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 08:31:19 +0000 Alivoo01 2159239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but it was a bit overwhelming for me as far as sweetness goes. DH liked it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-a-cronut#post-2159233 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 08:28:54 +0000 looch 2159233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I have had them, not from the famous NY place, but from a supermarket with a really good bakery, of all places. </p> <p>I want to try the crogels next. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-a-cronut#post-2159228 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 08:27:31 +0000 luckypenny 2159228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: DKA<br /> (“Dominique’s Kouign Amann”)<br /> Tender, flaky, croissant-like<br /> dough with a caramelized crunchy crust </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-a-cronut#post-2159225 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 08:26:16 +0000 Anagram 2159225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: i just checked the website and actually it changes monthly. For May, the flavor is " Sweet Clementine and Ricotta". That sounds pretty yummy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-a-cronut#post-2159224 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 08:25:52 +0000 Mamaof2 2159224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: whats a DKA? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-a-cronut#post-2159223 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 08:25:21 +0000 luckypenny 2159223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually prefer the DKA (? I think those are the initials) flaky soft sweet, perfect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-a-cronut#post-2159221 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 08:21:50 +0000 MrsSCB 2159221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I lived in NYC when they were super popular, and no way was I going to stand in line forever for one. But I definitely would have liked to try it if not for the long line situation :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-a-cronut#post-2159213 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 08:18:19 +0000 CakeLady 2159213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I'm a little curious but I love croissants and donuts just the way they are - is a cronut really better than the sum of its parts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-a-cronut#post-2159210 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 08:16:11 +0000 mrsjyw 2159210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope, but I'll be in NYC in a couple of weeks, maybe I'll try it then! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-a-cronut#post-2159208 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 08:13:03 +0000 PinkElephant 2159208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one from a hotel bakery overseas(which was mediocre), but haven't had any of the "original" cronuts in NYC. My DH's best bud actually got me one a month or so ago (as an apology for keeping DH out late, haha), but DH left it on his desk and a colleague ate it before he got it home to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-a-cronut#post-2159197 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 08:05:18 +0000 Mamaof2 2159197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: They change flavors??

I like each of those things separately but not together.</p> <p>But my mom is coming for a visit soon and she LOOOOVES doing touristy stuff like this, so I think we're going to go again. LO wakes up super early, so it's pretty easy to get out in the line. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-a-cronut#post-2159161 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 07:39:01 +0000 MrsBananaGrabber 2159161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had one! I was expecting it to be disappointing after all the hype, but no- it was AMAZING. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-had-a-cronut#post-2159159 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 07:37:58 +0000 Mamaof2 2159159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are they awesome??? </p>
