Krispy Kreme v. Dunkin' Donuts - The Final Showdown

[srmom]

Shipley's are the best! Although they may have problems getting their product out now that ICE has busted the plant

[DSTCHAOS]

Store bought KKs are not up to par.

But I'll take a store bought KK (that was delivered a day ago) before I eat any of those other store packaged doughnuts. Just put the store bought KK in the oven or something.

I'm still laughing at KK for trying to trick me with a whole wheat doughnut.

While I'm a Krispy Kreme kinda girl, through and through, I pretty much just like donuts in general... I'll take them when I can get them! But really, I think the true questions is yeast donut or cake donut. If you prefer yeast, you're usually gonna love KK... if you're a cake person, it's gonna be DD (or Tim Hortons if you're up North... and I admit, I love those!!!).

i wasnt even aware that KK made other flavored donuts aside from the hot and tasty glazed ones.

i'm a certified fattie, so either donut will do. plus, there are way more DD than KK (the only KK i can think of is on 23rd st) and i do think its a matter of preference of yeast vs. cake. with DD, i can have one and be OK. with KK, it's like i'm eating sugar and air.

and who REALLY dunks their donuts in coffee? is that supposed to be the adult version of dunking Oreos in milk?



p.s. my vote for collard greens all the way - i dont fugg with chitlins or fatback.

DD is not awful-I like their plain cake donuts. But give me Krispy Kreme any day! I grew up near the one in NMB and it's famazing. I drove by it last night and my boyfriend refused to drive back the same way for me to get a box on the way home. I LOVE how they keep the light on all the time and the parking lot is always full. They had one near my school's other campus too, but now it's a Chik-Fil-A which is a decent exchange (one nice southern thing for another) since it could have been some other random crap. I'll even take a cold KK because you can stick it in the microwave for like 3 secs. like the box advises and it'll be okay. I love the way it's light and yeasty and not all dense. It still tastes nice and it's not as quick to get gross like a DD. If you prefer DD over KK- it's like blasphemy to me!

ETA: when I go to buy donuts I buy donuts. not lattes, not fraps, not any other crap-just donuts. that is what you should primarily be going to a donut shop for. if you want coffee and breakfast sandwhiches, seek a coffee shop-they need your business to stave off Starbucks.

Dump the guy... how could he not accommodate your request?

You grew up in NMB? Ah yes... the KK at NE 167th and NE 6th Avenue! I grew up a little further south in North Miami - GO PIONEERS!

I personally think DD tastes really gross, not good at all. I think KK is delicious.

Krispy Kreme!
Especially when the light is on

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.

TIM HORTONS ALL THE WAY!!!!

Now...if I have to choose between Krispy and Dunkin, I'm going with Dunkin. Krispy Kreme's are way too sweet for me!

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 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!
