Brits Try Dunkin' Donuts for the FIRST TIME! | Mr H and Friends
Hey everyone, welcome back to Mr H and Friends!
In today’s video, we’re diving into an iconic American experience: Dunkin' Donuts! As Brits, we’ve heard so much about this beloved chain, and we’re thrilled to finally try it for ourselves. We’ve got a box of 12 different donuts and two refreshing drinks - the Strawberry Dragonfruit Refresher and the classic Dunkin' Refresher.
Join us on this delicious adventure as we explore the variety of flavors Dunkin' Donuts has to offer. From classic glazed to unique seasonal creations, we’re excited to share our honest reactions. We’ll be comparing these treats to the donuts and pastries we enjoy back in Britain. Will Dunkin' live up to the hype and become our new favorite indulgence? Let’s find out together!
Here’s what you can expect in this video:
Introduction: We kick things off with our excitement about trying Dunkin' Donuts for the first time.
First Look at Dunkin' Donuts: We unbox our selection of 12 donuts, showcasing the different flavors and beautiful decorations.
Tasting the Donuts: We dive into each donut, giving our thoughts on the taste, texture, and overall experience. From classics like the Boston Kreme to fun flavors like the Strawberry Frosted, we’ll let you know our favorites.

[@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.

[@BrianBogiaBricky]

They're basically the same as cheap grocery store bakery, sometimes worse. I luckily have a few good grocery chains by me that actually make fresh donuts from scratch. Dunkin is like Walmart, they're just baking from frozen

Dunkin stopped being known for donuts a long time ago. Back in the 80’s there was a commercial with a man waking up before dawn saying “It’s time to make the donuts”. Those were the good ol’ days.

[@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.

[@lindah6954]

Baby H, giving them a 2/10 is spot on. lol

[@neoncatfish4038]

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!

[@tammycenter8757]

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.

[@monkeyballs512]

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@galagajunkie]

DD hasn't been very good since they stopped making them fresh daily. Sad, because they had an ad campaign back in the day that centered around the jingle "Time to make the donuts..." that I still think of whenever I have to get up super early for something.

Definitely go to Krispy cream but go when the light is on and they will give you glazed doughnuts straight from the maker then eat one right away it's a whole different experience

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.

[@ColinNesbit]

I know it's Summertime here but you just gotta have a cup of Hot Coffee with fresh donuts. They are called Dunkin' for a reason, infinitely better when you dip them in java.

[@INDYANDY4C]

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.

[@INDYANDY4C]

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.

[@terrywall3287]

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

[@JustMe-dc6ks]

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

[@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.

[@ralphreed597]

If you are coming to North Carolina, head to Carolina Beach. On the boardwalk, there is a little shop called Britts Doughnuts. You will not regret it.

[@LauraSnuggleBear]

If you get the chance I highly recommend giving Duck Donuts a try; they have locations in both Carolina's and Virginia and I know the location near me you can watch them dip the donut into the frosting when you order it... so custom donuts with your favorite flavors ^_^

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

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.

[@neopagn2004]

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.

[@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.

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

[@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!

[@tmntman3086]

The filled one you tried that doesn't have a hole is generally called a bismark. They can come with cream, custard or a variety of fruit fillings. Definitely my favorite.

[@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.

[@jacobac07]

Texan here. Can confirm, Round Rock Donuts are much better!

[@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.

One of life’s mysteries is just how quickly a toddler can move. She grabbed that first piece of donut so fast a rattlesnake would be proud. Back in the day Dunkin was decent but I’ve always sought out the mom and pop shops to get my occasional donut fix. So much better and your supporting a person and not a corporation.

[@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.

[@JIMBEARRI]

In the US. the term is "Jelly Doughnut".

[@thomasbeauchamp3781]

A Dunkin’ Donut opened across the street from a local donut shop in my city. They lasted about four months before closing.

[@copyjim81]

Jelly = Juice that has been jellied. It will not have fruit pieces in it. Jam = fruit juice and fruit pieces that has been jellied. Has small pieces or puree in it. Preserves = whole or large pieces of fruit and fruit juice that has been jellied. You could eat the fruit pieces with a fork! Jellies are usually the cheapest because they can use a variety of fruit quality to make the juice that is turned into jelly. Next would be the Jams, as the fruit has to be good enough to hold up some during the jelly process. Preserves are usually the most expensive as the fruit can be seen and felt by the consumer. There is also a lot less juice turned into jelly around the fruit, but that is a recipe issue and not jam type issue. Also, the cost of the various types are usually more dependent on the brand and quality of fruit used including flavor that matters most. The the consumer will decide how much they want to pay. Usually kids lunches are close to the cheapest, or in some families the cheapest, jellies as you can spread your buck a lot farther. No mater, choose your poison and have fun!

[@thesimplesaguaro]

In college after a late night hockey game we would be starving and we’d go to the Dunkin next to the university, the baker caught on when we’d come and he’d have fresh donut holes for us. We’d buy as many as he had and a couple gallons of milk to wash them down…. Those were the good old days

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.

[@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.

[@dv3507]

I prefer local donut shops to chain stores. In my experience, the food and service has been superior.

[@MrMmitch32]

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.

[@shawnm7246]

On the west coast, especially in California, chain donut places like Dunkins were kept from establishing many places here because viatnamese families who came here as refugees from th Vietnam war established hundreds of donut shops that sold far better donuts. There's even a movie about it called the Donut King, about a man who funded the refugees donut shops. They chose donut shops as they were cheap and easy to start up since you just needed a few pieces of equipment and a small store front, and easy to learn vs other types of stores/restuarants.

[@emanymton713]

Dunkin’ Donuts as the name implies means they are meant to be dunked in your hot coffee. As such, they have always been slightly stale donuts so that they don’t immediately disintegrate in your drink.

[@marybethmartin1476]

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.

Not surprised you guys weren't blow away, Dunkin has some of the worst coffee and donuts IMO. Glad you tried Round Rock first. If you're looking for more places: Voodoo donuts has some really crazy donuts and a few locations around the US. Duck Donuts makes warm fresh donuts to order, with tons of exotic flavors, they're amazing and have a few locations around the US. And some of my favorite donuts of all time are just standard Apple Cider donuts usually found at orchard markets, like places that sell jam and pies from a local fruit orchard.

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.

[@darrell9546]

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.

[@merriemisfit8406]

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!

[@aliciakinsey9822]

Round rock donuts is a small, family owned, made daily shop. Dunkin coffee and drinks are still on point but the comment about the donuts going down hill is true. Since they're no longer made in store they are not the best. The blueberry donuts are really good but that's the only one i really enjoy.

[@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.

[@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..

[@Anon21486]

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...

When Dunkin’ Donuts still went by _Dunkin’ Donuts_ and was separate from Baskin-Robbins, both were great

[@NdxtremePro]

Dunkin is known for their coffee more than their donuts.

[@kimc.1268]

That’s not saying much. There coffee is basically colored water.

[@Meg0307]

Maybe only recently in an attept to compete with starbucks. They have been a donut business since the beginning.

[@alberttaylor2754]

Oh yeah, it is so funny how Elana rates EVERYTHING as a 2. LOL🤣🤣

[@raymondw.4484]

The slogan for Dunkin’ Donuts in my opinion really does just refer to the coffee. Most of us Americans prefer Krispy Kreme over Dunkin’s any day of the week. Also, if there’s a small mom and pop store near by. That typically becomes the go to selection

[@Jess-yb6uq]

You were able to start with the best, Dunkin can't compete!

[@MyLifePixeled]

Locally, we have Bourbon Ball donuts and the more widespread Maple Bacon donut....which is amazing.

[@CynicalGear]

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.

[@josephblake8418]

Dunkin Donuts sells inedible “food”

[@jjpv24]

Judging by the street signs I think I know where you guys are. Welcome to Florida again. You guys need to do some fishing on one of these trips.

[@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.

[@janp719]

If you can ever get to Krispy Kreme when their HOT sign is on, they are amazing!

[@janicewilliams966]

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

[@bishlap]

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.

[@VanessaPage-ic2bd]

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.

[@msurreal_929]

When you were in NC, hopefully you went inside to see the magic of donuts being made especially going through the glaze!!

[@user-zo3db7xt4j]

When they first came on the scene, the donuts tasted better. The cinnamon twists were great with hot chocolate.

[@lindah6954]

All the Dunkin Donut shops closed up In my area. They cannot compete with Tim Horton's.

[@manjisaipoe517]

As others have said, they are now more known for their coffee. I think your almost always going to like a "mom amd pop" or family style shop over almost every chain store for everything food related. Happy hunting!😊

[@rogerpultz5597]

Really enjoyed watching 👍👍

[@Raymail-tj4cf]

Dunkin is a national chain while Round Rock is more like a mom and pop. Dunkin has very good coffee to me.

[@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.
