Dunkin Donuts all the way!
Best coffee, they actually have a variety of donuts, and I don't feel like I'm going to die of a sugar overdose after eating one like I do with Krispy Kreme.

WooHoo for Timmy's! I love Horton's!
If any of you are ever in Chillicothe, OH, look up New System Bakery. The absolute best donuts I have ever had in my life. Ten times better than any other local bakery I've ever tried, and twenty times better than any of the chains.

I do love Tim's donuts, and we're getting a combo Timmy's/Coldstone in my little Ohio town in a few months! So excited about that. But I still love Krispy Kreme the most.

I know I've said this before, but it always cracks me up when the first reason people give for preferring DD is the coffee and not the doughnuts.
Yes, DD has a variety of doughnuts, but so does KK. And for all their variety, there aren't any DDs that taste good.
Cake doughnuts in general, and DDs in particular, aren't worth the calories or the money to me. They're too dry. That's why the coffee has to be so good -- you need it to get the doughnut down.

I just saw this comment, but just because I mentioned coffee first doesn't mean that their donuts are awful. I'm not even a big coffee drinker. However, their Dunkaccinos are pretty awesome.
To me, all of KK's donuts look and basically taste the same. And again, I can't stand that they just taste like pure sugar. I get through half of one and I'm done.
To each their own, I guess!

Oh, I didn't say that. Well, I mean, I did say that I think their doughnuts are pretty awful  , but I didn't say that the fact that people mention DD's coffee first means DD's doughnuts are awful. I just think it's funny and noteworthy that for a business called Dunkin' Donuts, people mention their coffee before they mention the doughnuts.

Yes. Awesome. 
But all kidding aside, yes, it's certainly a case of to each is or her own. As has been said many times, to some degree it boils down to whether one prefers cake doughnuts or yeast doughnuts. I love yeast doughnuts while cake doughnuts don't do a thing for me at all. I eat one and then think "Why did I waste money and calories on that?"

I actually haven't been to DDs in a little while, living in a place that doesn't have any conveniently down the street, but from what I understand, they're trying to branch out, sell more items, and become more of the "working class Starbucks".
As long as they don't change their coffee to taste more like Starbucks, I don't care!
It is actually interesting when you think about it - DDs now makes coffee, donuts, bagels, breakfast sandwiches, hash browns, muffins, chicken and other deli sandwiches, etc. KK mainly focuses on donuts.
ETA: I also love the fact that DDs has K-cups
