One was at Florida and Airport, which was a shitty location.


One out on Coursey but it didn't last long. The other one on Bluebonnet near Burbank next to the Wendys. I think that one that held on for a little longer.

I think the one on Florida might have outlasted the other two but I don't remember.

No offense to you personally, but Dunkin is every bit as caustic to the culinary world as New Englanders are to the human race.


Im a transplant to New England, and up here when properly prepared Dunkin is in fact good coffee.

I’ve also had the Dunkin coffee in Baton Rouge and it sucks.

I heard somewhere they have to defrost their frozen donuts and don’t make them fresh. True? That would explain the shittiness.



i've had DD in Boston and NYC and it's markedly better there than here. I don't hate on it like most, but there's a difference in their fresh donuts vs what they send south.

Krispy Kreme is the best if they're hot, but that's maybe 5% of the time. The one in Lafayette didn't last very long. There's only a handful left in Houston and Dallas.

I usually just go to Meche's when I'm in Lafayette because they always have fresh batches but the coffee there is basically watered down Community.

Donuts are supposed to be fried biscuits with a sugary glaze.

For some unknown reason Dunkin makes dry, cake batter rings and calls it a donut. Awful.

DD fricking sucks.

Why can't they build a new Krispy Kreme so I don't have to go to the fricking hood for fresh ones?

I drink their midnight, that's what I keep at home.


I just dont remember one in Baton Rouge.

Most of my donut eating was like a no-name asian place or the gas stations that had the krispy kreme display.

Manchester represent! When I lived in NH there were three Dunkins within 4 miles of my house, and the donuts were good.

It’s really bad. When I lived in Louisiana, the Dunkin’ Donuts were bad and the Krispy Kreme‘s were good… in California. It’s pretty much the opposite.

Dude, you can't swing a dead cat in New England and not hit a Dunkin'.

If you're driving up there sometime, start watching the exit signs. It's like 5 out of every 6 exits have a Dunkin.

Krispy Kreme and Dunkin Donuts both fricking suck. Mass produced garbage.

Mary Lee donuts are so far ahead of them, it's a different category altogether.

Coffee at all 3 leaves a lot to be desired, but donuts - Mary Lee embarrasses those shitholes.

I've never had Dunkin, but anytime I hear about it I always think about that SNL skit with Cassey Affleck

I truly wonder what type of sick things people have gone through in their lives to think Mary Lee's cake-y, too thick, old, flavorless, bland, and soggy donuts are better than hot krispy kremes...

I hope you do not surprise your co-workers with Mary Lee's... they probably talk about you behind your back LOL

I prefer dough in my donuts. Not just a shrimpy little circle of sugar.

Why are you describing old Mary Lee and fresh Krispy Kreme?

I’ve often heard Dunkin has some of the best fast food coffee. I’m not a coffee drinker so can’t judge but I’ve heard/read that often.

I got used to DD in the Northeast. I never thought they were terrible. Krispy is terrible. Now I remember them like 20 yrs ago so a lot is different if that's the public opinion.

The only way to get fresh ML is to get there at 6:00 a.m., when they batch-make them and let them sit for the rest of the day.

I wonder why you prefer dough in your "donuts"
