It is the coffee, not the doughnuts. They are strong in the Midwest as well as the northeast.

And when you compare it to Starbucks it appears that much better.

Donuts are better than kk and coffee is better than Starbucks.

Most places don't have good local donut shops that are convenient, so you have a choice of dd or kk.

Donuts are delicious.

Why else would they be popular?

Don't care for their donuts. But their breakfast sandwhiches and coffee are pretty good.

They no longer make their donuts in house. They are baked in warehouses and shipped to the stores now. I have no clue how they stay in business as most areas have local donut shops that offer much better options.

Its their coffee. Its really good coffee.

And krispy kreme sucks for someone who wants a DOUGHnut. Its just a small circle of pure sugar. There is no substance.

Now, if you like candy for breakfast, I completely understand liking Krispy Kreme.

Mary Lee is GOAT.

LOL no

Coffee is decent, especially the dark. DD coffee has traditionally appealed to people who don't really like anything more than extremely mild coffee. DD dark roast is like a decent coffee maker's light-medium roast.

I can't believe how much of our economy is built around coffee. Tim Horton's is everywhere now in Michigan.

Krspy Kreme did not cut it in La Crosse Wisconsin. They built a brand new one about 5 years ago and it closed within a year.

Ain't that the truth.

But to answer the OP it's a national chain where the food isn't that great but you know what you're getting. Sorta like McD's.

Starbucks coffee is awful. Its the great hoodwink of our generation. It tastes burnt.

I buy the coffee on Amazon and make it stout in my home coffee maker.

I'll have to try it someday and compare it to Tato Nut in Ocean Springs, which is my personal GOAT.

At least you have at least a slight chance to get some fresh and hot food from McDonald's. Not so much at DD.

Which is better than most Starbucks varieties. I don't drink either often, but if you're getting a convenient cup of black coffee on the go, dd > Starbucks.
