And the rest of their donuts of any flavor, are glazed with then chocolate frosting or another flavor frosting. Glazed and frosting at the same time, sugar high for days! Lol

[@stevebowles9086]

In to say that the golden age of Dunkin Donuts ended when corporate decided to centralize the donut making, thereby ending fresh donuts at their stores. The coffee addicts have kept them going, but donuts off a truck will never measure up to one’s fresh from the oil.

[@BIGBLOCK5022006]

Exactly. There's a bakery in my area that has been around since 1913 and has a line out the door of people stopping by to get donuts.

[@ChirumboloFilm]

Long ago I used to work at Dunkin’ Donuts. I made the cookies, croissants, muffins, everything except the donuts. At the time they would let the employees eat anything they wanted and take home as many donuts as we wanted at the end of the day. They were just going to be thrown them away so it was a win win for everyone. I became very good telling how old the donuts were by taste, texture, and appearance. I was there for a few years until I moved to an area that didn’t have any Dunkin locations. A few decades passed, and when I was traveling at one point I was driving through my old town and decided to stop and get some donuts and coffee for old times sake. I took one bite and threw out the rest of the donuts I bought. When I was there we never had the food on the shelves long enough for the donuts to get that stale. I was saddened and disappointed that things had got that bad there. The coffee was good, so at least there was that.

[@mondohankie]

The donuts were great when they were made fresh in the stores! They also glazed the ones with frosting in addition to the frosting, which they no longer do. Krispy Kreme has the best donuts now!

I'm 65 years old. When I was a kid Dunkin donuts was the best donuts! But that was back when each store made their own donuts. Back then there was a commercial, the guy would get up early in the morning and say it was time to go make the donuts! In the commercial one time he met himself at the door. As one was coming home the other one was going to work to go make the donuts!

I'm glad you were honest. I know there's nothing special about Dunkin Donuts. You can get the same quality or better at a grocery store.

Dunkin doughnuts used to be good but now they are just high priced low quality doughnuts. If you can find one my suggestion is to try Doughnut Express or Krispy Cream. They are both way better than Duncan.

[@ThatCronus]

Or a local donut place. Like they did with round rock. But if it is a chain, then I guess Krispy Kreme or Timmy Ho's is better than DD. Never been to a Doughnut Express though.

[@Wheely55]

Krispy Kreme is the best. Especially fresh when they have the sign lit up.

[@LordLOC]

Dunkin used to be just as good, until they changed from freshly made donuts in store to the mass truck delivered stuff we have today. Plus, I don't know if they changed the recipe for their fillings and toppings, but it seems most of them taste so much less flavorful nowadays. I guess maybe my old age has affected the taste somewhat along with nostalgia maybe, but it seems odd.

[@Trinkrdink]

Me, too! If I have to get up early, I start mumbling, “time to make the donuts.” 😄 I can still picture that guy’s face, too.

[@GranpaMike]

Definitely check Krispy Kreme. I go to the one in Wichita, KS whenever I can. If you go inside when they're running the glazed donuts they'll give you a free sample donut, right off the line, still hot. They're so light and fluffy that you'll swear a little piece of manna fell from Heaven and ended up in your mouth. The word "donut" doesn't even seem to apply because they're in their own league, peerless. Get a dozen glazed in addition to the variety dozen or you'll regret it.

[@JohnAmatulli]

Dunkin’ Donuts was great when Fred the Baker was still getting up before dawn to go to his shop because it was ”time to make the donuts”. Now they are made in a factory and Krispy Kreme donuts are better. If you live near a north of Austin, as I do, Round Rock donuts are better still.

[@tbone3291]

It looks like the assortment is mostly just regular donuts with slightly different frostings. That's what happens when you let the store pick the donuts. They give you the most basic options. The filled donuts have more variety. Or maybe I'm just a filled-donut person.

The real secret weapon of Dunkin Donuts is their Iced Tea. That tea may arguably be the strongest yet most refreshing iced tea out there. It far out classes most of the iced tea on the fast food market right now. If you need a strong pick me up after a hot day then those iced teas are awesome. Just be sure to get it unsweetened. The sweetened version tastes like a sugar mixed with water.

I love dipping regular glazed or the glazed twists as well in milk because the dough of donuts is so spongy and absorbent, it soaks of some of the milk and becomes juicy in a way and I've loved doing it since I was a wee lad.

[@NotKev2017]

There's a big difference between cake donuts and donuts that are allowed to rise. Cake donuts are typically dryer textured. Yeast donuts are more tender and don't really need much glaze.

[@DGPrepper]

Grocery store donuts generally beat any Dunkin' donut any day...at least in my experience, here in Utah. There are a TON of gourmet donut shops here in Utah as well, so Dunkin has a very small footprint anymore. And of course, there is always Krispy Kreme, where you can walk in and pick up a donut fresh off the line, which is amazing.

[@heavin6586]

Personally, I'd suggest find a non -chain donut shop next time.... IMO a local shop is far and away better than any chain. That goes for donut shops and restaurants in general I believe..

In my opinion, Dunking Donuts are cake donuts that are a more solid cake-style pastry(and more dry), whereas Roundrock Doughnuts are yeast doughnuts and are fluffier and more moist. They are 2 separate types of doughnuts. I prefer the yeast doughnuts

Dunkins is more associated with yeast donuts but like most donut shops have both cake and yeast.

[@kristinakilby6798]

Krispy Kreme donuts are way better. The history is on KZbin I think. The owner studied as a French pastry chef. Then went to New Orleans and thus Krispy Kreme donuts. The cake donuts are good at either place. They are a thicker donut. Dense dough I guess

They used to be called Drunken Donuts, because they used to be open 24/7. Coffee & Donuts at all hours! As the WWII Crowd faded out, they cut back. You could still meet a Nurse at 3 a.m. near your local hospital in the 80’s.

Jelly in the U.S. is fruit juice and pectin strained through cheesecloth for a smooth consistent texture, jam is the whole fruit cut and mixed with pectin and is more substantial in texture.

Battalion Aid Station Dunkin Donuts! Near to Hospitals you could find DD. They used to open 24/7! Always was Mother Superior and Candy Strypers there. As the WWII Vets faded in the 80’s, so did DD. They acted as BAS/Triage for skateboard accidents and car accidents, or women in labor, or shortness of breath with chest pain. Nurses treated small stuff. They transported serious cases.

[@stacylasko340]

I worked at DD for 7 years. When they changed the oil used to fry the donuts were immediately unappetizing. They have never been very good since. Plus most locations get thier donuts delivered now, so if you don't get your donuts pretty early in the morning, you'll get somewhat stale donuts

Growing up near the NE, Dunkin Donuts was amazing. Now a days I would go for local. I don't live in the NE anymore but have heard the Dunkin Donuts there are better than the rest of the country, they are fairly low quality now though, like everything else that becomes corporatized. You were right going with the local donuts last time, continue to look for local places when you travel, they will be the best donuts.

[@francismesina9341]

Try the Krispy Kreme donuts please, especially when the hot sign is on. You can get freshly made donuts hot from the production line. Great when you eat it with a cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk.

[@DogwafflDan]

Dunkin used to fry the donuts in-store but they switched to a model where the donuts are baked in a localized factory. I still think they're pretty good, but not as a good as they used to be. You definitely get the oldest and the worst if you ask for an assortment. That's always been the case. You get the stuff they can't sell, especially the maple. If you want their best, I'd say the chocolate cream, which used to be a buttercream filling but now it's a bit like a ganache. The Boston cream, the jelly, and the chocolate frosted are also pretty good.

[@pliny8308]

The plain, glazed, donut from Dunkin Donuts is my favorite specifically because it's not overly sweet.

Duncan Donuts back in the day were fantastic. But as they grew over the years they changed something. I'm not sure what but the quality suffered and now they are just okay. Crispy cream is a much better choice. Although some non-chain, individual bakeries do make some quite impressive donuts. I grew up in Austin Texas during the sixties, seventies and eighties. And there was a family owned bakery that specialized in donuts called Ms. Johnson's Bakery. They posted the times that they put out freshly made donuts and so you could arrive just in time to get fresh hot donuts that would absolutely just melt in your mouth. I always had to buy two dozen of the hot glazed donuts when I went to get some for the family. Because I'd eat half a dozen on my way home. It was incredible. The best donuts ever! But they eventually sold the bakery and it was never the same after the Johnson family left.

[@renes.1242]

When I was in Jr. High school, my sister and I would stop at Dunkin Donuts all the time. It was just down the street from school.

[@kevinnorwood8782]

As a Texan myself, I have honestly never heard of Round Rock Donuts until watching your videos. But I can also agree with everyone saying that Dunkin Donuts USED to be great and very high-quality, but they are LONG past their glory days now. Next time you're in Texas, I HIGHLY recommend trying out a chain called Donut Palace. They're kind of a smaller chain, but the donuts they make there are ALWAYS top quality and delicious. My folks and I have gone there literally my entire life (so that's 34 years going to that shop), and we would honestly choose them over any other donut producer, even Krispy Kreme!

[@jeffmorse645]

I live in Florida and Dunkin has pretty much a lock on the donut market here and they're pretty terrible. There are a few independents, but they are usually fancy or "craft" donut places. It's hard to find a good old fashioned family run donut shop that makes regular, traditional donuts from scratch. Dunkin (at least in this area) has a central bakery and they bring them into the various stores each morning. Mass produced - you might as well buy packaged donuts from a supermarket.

[@TwinMama-jv3zb]

I like to get the munchkins during the winter, and I get the mix. The box has chocolate glazed, jam filled, some sort of spiced one, cinnamon sugar covered, and one with powdered sugar...but that may be the chocolate one...I don't remember though since I didn't get any this last winter. I don't have one near me either, so it's rare for me to be around one when they have the flavors I like. I don't like the donuts, but the munchkins (donut holes) are really good. I don't like krispy cream, I'm a Shipley's girl. I prefer the way Shipley's icing is done...its nice and flaky and not crispy. But Dunkin does have a delicious frozen hot chocolate, and they have a croissant bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich that is pretty tasty too.

[@craigrussell5622]

If all I had to choose from were corporate brands, Dunkin everytime. I'm just glad I have a Mom & Pop just down the road that remembers what days I come n and what I like.

I doordash with Dunkin' a lot, but people rarely get donuts. Coffee. Lots of coffee and breakfast sandwich type stuff. Munchkins for the offices, an occasional cruller or coffee dunker, but there's just a small glass case now. Used to be the whole back wall, a million years ago when I was young.

A few years ago, Dunkin started to put less toping on. I used to get a Chocolate topped regular donut all the time getting chocolate in every byte and then one day there was and I got only donut in a few bytes. Less. Oh and they no longer serve them without sprinkles, I do not like sprinkles! As a kid as mentioned they made them in house and toppings were dipped so it covered ½ the donut!

IMO, I only like the Apple Fritter and the Old Fashioned donut with their coffee at Dunkin. Dunkin donuts aren’t as sweet as other donut places so people that don’t like a very sweet taste tend to prefer Dunkin over Krispy Kreme. I’m of the opinion that if going to one of these chain donut places then you have to go to Krispy Kreme when their Hot sign is turned on so you get fresh donuts straight out of the glaze shower. I grew up near a Krispy Kreme factory store where you could watch the donuts be created by their giant donut machine. When I say eat them fresh, it is best to just have them in the store, in the parking lot or (if you are skilled enough) in the car on the drive home. 😂. If a cop pulls you over, just offer a donut and you may get out of the ticket. 😊

[@JustMe-dc6ks]

I only like Krispy Kreme when they’re hot.

I remember when Dunkin Donuts had a plain donut with a small donut handle. You would hold the handle so you dunk your donut in the hot coffee.

As a person in the Boston area, which is the land of Dunkin Donuts.... I agree, their donuts are lacking. However, I do tend to get their iced lattes and a breakfast sandwich over their donuts. Also on a side note, Dunkin Donuts is also in the UK and they have items over there that we do not have here in the US. Edit: Yea, I definitely have to add this as you said to comment about it. Yes, Dunkin Donuts is a hit or miss depending on the shop and franchise owner. Also, little known, is that it is based on region as well, where the quality of Dunkin Donuts is different in say Boston than it is in say, Miami.... It also helps that the Boston area has it's own lingo that the rest of the country/world of Dunkin...

My favorite is the Old Fashioned. Simple and delicious.

Being from North Carolina, there is no comparison when it comes to Krispy Kreme and Dunkin. Krispy Kreme is the best, especially if you hit them when the hot and ready sign is lit up.

My favorite was Winchell’s back in the day. What happened to them? No longer in KC.☹️

Dunkin Donuts used to make the donuts in house. Now they're made at some regional facility and trucked in. They're just not the same.

I used to drive home past a Dunkin' Donuts early in the morning, and slow down with the window opened at least a little bit to absorb the smell of the fresh crop cooking. Then, subtly, I noticed that I wasn't smelling anything anymore when I drove by. Although it's still the shortest route, it's also the route with the most traffic, so for many years now without the Dunkin' incentive I have usually just taken an alternate, less stressful way home, and I can smell just as many fresh "donuts" -- which is ZERO. Fer cryin' out loud, their basic "dunkers" don't even have a HANDLE on them anymore!

I have a nice little DD in my village and they always taste great except rarely do they have my fave which is the DUTCH APPLE FILLED DONUT!!! I made a minor complaint, begged is more like it and the owner, an Indian immigrant/surprise surprise/ now saves at least 1 or 2 for me whenever they make them... gotta love that kind of care and service! BTW, The coffee ain't bad either.

if you ever go back to Dunkin’ Donuts, try the munchkins. There are the little donut holes, and in my opinion, the jelly and glazed are the best ones.

[@annabogart6689]

dunkins isnt what it used to be. they stopped making the donuts in the shop you buy tem , they have them shipped over from heaens knows where. not wor it anymore. plus the donuts are smaller and over priced...that was a boston creme pie donut. didnt you make a boston creme pie cake???blueberry donts arent bad, glazed is okay too.its called a jelly donut.

[@janicewilliams966]

Krispie Kreme for the win….every single time! Especially when the hot fresh sign is lit up!

[@jeffreystanley7884]

Dunkin is good in a pinch they are literally on every corner in Boston and all over in generalnin New England. I like their Boston Creme and their Apple fritters and Jelly filled donuts. They also have something called a coffee roll which is kind of like a cinnamon roll donut that is good. My absolute favorite donuts are from a local bakery so that's where I go most of the time. I prefer Dunkin coffee to Starbucks though.

Dunkin is my favorite of the chain donuts, you have to remember that you can't compare mom and pop businesses to chain restaurants, lol. Boston cream is my fav

[@katwithattitude5062]

I used to like going there and watching them actually making and filling the donuts through a window next to the counter. They stopped making them in-store a long time ago and our local one has since moved to a strip mall. I haven't been there since.

[@christistanton4085]

Funny you had these today, I made homemade doughnuts last night for today!

[@BrianBogiaBricky]

There is Dunkin Donuts & Mr. Donuts. Both are good but Dunkin Donuts is the best overall. Very delicious!! These were known as coffee shops too.
