Default Krispy Kreme, or Dunkin' Donuts?

In the spirit of recent topics, I thought I would ask.

KK here.

Duncan Donuts sucks! They have about 10 donut selections, and are in the process of changing their name to just Dunkin. Mostly millennial food items now. They are making their bagels smaller, use half the amount of cream cheese, and barely toast the bagel, so that it’s chewy and cold, not crunchy and toasted. We don’t have KK here, we have a chain called yum...yum donuts, with over 25 donut selections, bagels, sandwiches etc. Best donuts ever!

KK, but for some reason they don’t seem to survive in Houston. Too much competition from a Shipley’s I guess.

in north Joisey as a kid there was an Italian bakery that made Zeppole's that you ate hot and had powdered sugar on, and were probably not healthy, and they were better than Duncan or Krispy, to die for. Eat a dozen until sick. But I vote Duncan, Krispy so overrated, I don't get it.

We are fortunate in Dayton, Ohio to have "Bills Doughnuts". They have won numerous national awards for the best doughnuts in the country. KK doughnuts still stay's in business and is damn good though. I'll take a week old doughnut from the Speedway gas station over anything at Dunkin Doughnuts. No idea how they stay in business. I guess Homer Simpson and I have something in common. http://billsdonutshop.com/

At least get the name right. It's Dunkin. All the " beautiful people" go to Starbucks. I'll grant you that Dunkins not as good as they were when they made the donuts at each store but they are miles ahead of Krispy. They changed because people don't buy donuts any more, they just buy coffee.

Between Krispy Kreme and Dunkin, I would choose KK.

There is donut place in the Raleigh area named Rise. Their donuts are awesome, better than KK. And since they make them on site, you can get them when they're still hot and with a variety of toppings.

I'll pick Dunkin over KK. And Mike is right.... Bill's doughnuts are awesome.

Default Throw Wawa into the mix

Wawa, which is a family owned chain of over 500 convenience food stores from the Northeast states to DC/Virginia plus Florida, has some great donuts, IMO. Apple Fritter and Coffee Roll are great tasting and big. Get in a regular habit of consuming these babies and you’ll be in trouble....probably 500 calories a piece. KK are small and DD hasn’t had much selection in years.

Krispy Kreme is my favorite. Unfortunately all ours closed a few years ago when KK had financial issues. Now I am stuck with Dumpy Donuts.

I don’t care for either Dunkin or Krispy Kreme. When I want an excellent donut I go to one of the many mom and pop bakery’s we have in the area.

Dunkin. I just don't care for KK. I think they taste like lard.

Best answer would be to call 911 from either store and see who gets the quickest respond time.
