But the only thing I really love from DD is their chocolate coconut donut. So freaking good. I'm not a coffee drinker but my whole family up in MA loves their iced coffee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-so-great-about-dunkin-donuts/page/2#post-514789 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 08:52:58 +0000 yoursilverlining 514789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is okay. I do like their hashbrowns and their lattes and stuff are fine but it's not like it's great coffee; I think they are so popular because they are basically on every block in new England! I prefer Krispie kreme donuts, and stronger coffee than they offer myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-so-great-about-dunkin-donuts/page/2#post-514766 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 08:13:02 +0000 MrsBeachyBaby 514766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sahm0811 loveeeee doughnut plant! So delicious. </p> <p>Dunkin donuts pumpkin coffee is do yummy. My favorite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-so-great-about-dunkin-donuts/page/2#post-514658 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 01:56:13 +0000 SAHM0811 514658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: have you been to Doughnut Plant in NYC? Their creme brûlée donuts are my favorite. PB&amp;J and tres leches are good too... Plus all their seasonal doughnuts! I think most good doughnuts in NYC don't come from mom and pop doughnut places, but from bakeries/restos that sell other baked goods too. My friend loves doughnuts and used to tour the city for the best ones every summer (usually she would check out places based on NYT reviews or food blogs).</p> <p>I'm not excited about Dunkin' coming to CA. When I lived in NYC I realized that their iced coffee drinks are just laden with sugar and their donuts are usually stale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-so-great-about-dunkin-donuts/page/2#post-514295 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 20:20:16 +0000 Shutterbug 514295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Munchkins! Honestly, dunks is just such a staple in new england that it's like comfort food/drink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-so-great-about-dunkin-donuts/page/2#post-514225 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 19:37:41 +0000 BSB 514225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As for donuts, I do like Krispy Kreme over DD but DD is better than the other donuts here in Seattle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-so-great-about-dunkin-donuts/page/2#post-514218 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 19:35:00 +0000 BSB 514218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coffee and donuts! I love their hazelnut iced and hot coffees.</p> <p>So much better than Starbucks coffee which tastes like burnt coffee. I can't bash Starbucks that much because I do love their Salted Caramel Lattes! Lattes, mochas and espresso is good but regular coffee??? No way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-so-great-about-dunkin-donuts/page/2#post-514132 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 18:27:59 +0000 T-Mom 514132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: that's pretty fascinating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-so-great-about-dunkin-donuts/page/2#post-514104 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 18:07:01 +0000 chibee 514104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love dd for their coffee - honestly prefer it to Starbucks. But the donuts are whatever - I've visited LA a few times and I loved the random homemade donut shops so much better than dd so I don't know what the big deal is either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-so-great-about-dunkin-donuts/page/2#post-514090 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 17:56:43 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 514090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD always adds the right amount of cream and sugar to your coffee. I like the munchkins aka donut holes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-so-great-about-dunkin-donuts/page/2#post-514085 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 17:52:05 +0000 Anagram 514085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: I'm such a librarian....I got so curious about the donut store/Korean owners situation and wondered if I was making it up.

I live in Houston.. maybe there are a bunch and I should just pay more attention! There are a ton of chain kolache places and maybe 3 DD's in the entire city.

I just look for "DONUTS" to be spelled out in big red or yellow letters and they're always delish. I like Shipley's a lot and Dunkin is good, though not my fav...but bonus points for all the flavors I can add into coffee! And for having a Baskin Robbins attached. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-so-great-about-dunkin-donuts/page/2#post-513672 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 15:23:38 +0000 Anagram 513672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: where in Texas do you live? I used to live in Dallas and work in Irving and I had 2 shops withing 3 blocks of my house and two more near my work. There's pretty much always a no name, no yelped donut shop in every strip mall.</p> <p><a href="http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2012/jan/27/korean-immigrant-bringing-texas-style-donuts-nevad/" rel="nofollow">http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2012/jan/27/korean-immigrant-bringing-texas-style-donuts-nevad/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.kwtx.com/ourtown/home/headlines/Lampasas_Donut_Shop_Owner_Introduces_Korean_Culture_To_Community_154203035.html?mobile=yes&#038;device=ipad" rel="nofollow">http://www.kwtx.com/ourtown/home/headlines/Lampasas_Donut_Shop_Owner_Introduces_Korean_Culture_To_Community_154203035.html?mobile=yes&#038;device=ipad</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/usa-donuts-dallas?select=-ZDWtZt3sq3VfhoqerR4kg#gZcdQ8hbXsNG5ZNvlkw0Sg" rel="nofollow">http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/usa-donuts-dallas?select=-ZDWtZt3sq3VfhoqerR4kg#gZcdQ8hbXsNG5ZNvlkw0Sg</a></p> <p>The last pic is from the place closest to my Dallas house!!!

We just got a DD, and we bought some reg glazed donuts last night, and they were really good! I'd never had them before but was pleasantly surprised. I do think Krispy Kreme is better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-so-great-about-dunkin-donuts/page/2#post-512854 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 10:42:49 +0000 T-Mom 512854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: I live in TX too, where are these mom and pop doughnut places you speak of, I want to find one! I am not a Shipleys fan at all, probably because I was "assimilated" to DD when living in the NE and miss it terribly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-so-great-about-dunkin-donuts/page/2#post-512833 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 10:33:30 +0000 MapleMoose 512833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mmm... love their flavored coffees like coconut, raspberry, blueberry.

I've been wanting to try Dough here in Brooklyn for awhile, but I haven't had a chance Like I said, it's a long-time chain, so there is a lot of love for it here (unfortunately). Maybe I need to make a trip to Texas. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-so-great-about-dunkin-donuts#post-512514 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 08:35:49 +0000 Anagram 512514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love doughnuts, and HATE dunkin donuts. I don't understand why ppl like them so much here in NYC/Nj but I'm guessing its just lack of exposure to decent fresh donuts... There's only a handful of non DD places in all of manhattan, like donut plant.</p> <p>That's one of the things I miss most about Texas-- the mom and pop donut shops on every corner, all owned by Koreans and all made fresh, right in front of you. And I miss the yummy kolaches, too!!</p> <p>My biggest complaints about DD is that ALL the donuts are dry, very single time. They taste stale no matter what time of day. As a donut lover, this makes me saaaaaad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-so-great-about-dunkin-donuts#post-512512 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 08:32:40 +0000 Rock n Roll 512512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love their powdered donuts that are filled with chocolate cream. They just remodeled the DD near our house and it's all weird now like they're trying to be Tim Horton's. </p> <p>The best donuts here are definitely at the Donut Cafe. I love that place. They have cherry and blueberry donuts that are SO GOOD . And the owner used to give me free donuts when I was a poor college student with no car because he felt bad for me. That definitely garnered some never dying loyalty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-so-great-about-dunkin-donuts#post-512505 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 08:27:04 +0000 sorrycharlie 512505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm actually more of a honey dew fan myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-so-great-about-dunkin-donuts#post-512503 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 08:25:38 +0000 JoJoGirl 512503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Blech I'm going with nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-so-great-about-dunkin-donuts#post-512450 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 07:37:12 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 512450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nom.
