They’re really good when they’re fresh. And when I say fresh, I don’t mean ten minutes ago, I mean you watch it come off of the line and you’re eating it 30 seconds later.

Agreed. I’d rather have Shipley’s.

Krispy Kremes are the only plain, glazed donuts I’ve found that I like, but only warm and fresh. Any of their other varieties are underwhelming.

Fuck you, Krispy Kreme is the best chain donut.

Obviously the superior donuts are local bakery style or from Publix but for a national chain, you can’t beat KK.

For Seattle area people, Chuck’s in Renton is quite fantastic:

QT has surprisingly good donuts.

I don’t understand why every bakery in the south feels donuts must be glazed.

Agreed, I’ve never understood the appeal. They’re fine but I can think of a lot of local places that are better.

Donuts are one of those things I never buy for myself but always am excited when offered to me.

Glazed donuts give me epic indigestion. But I’m all over cake donuts.

Go in when the light is on and get a free* one hot out of the oil.

I just don’t get the appeal of glazed donuts in general.

I guess it’s just become a bit of a tradition.

For a while I thought donuts had to be glazed until I tried a non-glazed and was surprised how good it is. I still like a good glazed donut, though. My favorite donut has to be chocolate creme/custard filled, but that’s just because I’m fat.

I’ll eat one if a box shows up in the office, but they don’t stand a chance against LaMar’s (KC-based regional chain famous for besting KK in a police officer taste test ) or a handful of other local bakeries.

Spoken like someone who’s never had LaMar’s donuts.

Ohhhh I like these! Gimme that toasted coconut!

Our local bakery does a maple bacon doughnut, thick cut slab of bacon on top.

That sounds a lot like the Arby’s ‘fistfuls of beef’ from the Onion.

There is a Krispy Kreme franchise section in a local supermarket and I’ve tried most of them and they really aren’t anything special. They are better than some of the bought in stores own ones but they are three times the price for one than they are for five.

Agreed. Really good when less than 5 minutes old. Otherwise just another glazed donut. If you’re ever in Springfield MO and ready for a diabetic coma, try these: http://www.wannahurts.com/

Some of their concoctions are really good. Others, not so much. But if you are a child of the 80’s, you gotta try Hurts Donuts. :)

Still the best national donut chain by a large margin.

Dunkin tastes like grabbing a slice of bread and crushing it in my hand.

Raised cake donuts with at most a light sprinkle of sugar.

I went to Portland a couple of years ago and there were a couple of Big Deal donut shops that were absolutely nothing special, kind of like all of Portland. Wannabe capitol of the country.

Your math may be flawed. If Dunkin is a zero, which is what I’d rate it, then 100 times that is still zero and even though lousy and boring, is probably greater than zero...

But I agree: Dunkin is lame.

Fact: My kids and I had 3-day-old KK donuts for dessert last night. A little hard, but still better than Dunkin.

Voodoo donuts is the big draw there. Unique, but expensive and hyped. The lines can also be hilarious during tourist season.

Portland is pretty on sunny days and can be fun to visit if you are into hipster spotting, otherwise, I only make it down there every couple years. If it’s a wannabe, it is torn between Seattle and Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
