Their coffee is good, but I buy it at the grocery and brew it at home.

Their coffee is good as are their ham egg and cheese wraps and hash browns. Also very affordable.

Their donuts are terrible, like some of the worst donuts I've had in my life terrible. However, their coffee and breakfast sandwiches are probably the best fast food breakfast out there.

would take Starbucks veranda or Pike over DD, but I do like the dark roast.
The only reason I don't go to star bucks and never will again is because the cashier at the window spilled the cofee all over me and down the side of my car. I got a new cofee, but I was left with the bill of having to wash my car.

I don't why anyone would eat anything other than Krispy kreme
Some Mom and Pop donut shops are very good. There's a local donut shop very near my house... best glazed donuts and Apple fritters I've ever eaten. And they serve Community Coffee dark roast. But you're right, krispy kreme is better than dd.

Did you go inside and speak to a manager or anything? I'd think they'd definitely be worried over lawsuits and would take care of you in some way.

I don't like donut places all that much. When I do stop in I usually get donuts for kids and me a kolache or a breakfast sammich.
That said, Mary Lee or Kolache Kitchen are way better than Dunkin IMO.

Robs donuts in Thibodaux rule. Always get some when I go home. Dunkin is nasty. Publix makes a fine donut.

There is no such thing as a bad donut.

Very popular in the north it's based in Boston, I think? it's overrated though I went once on Sherwood for breakfast and it tasted like arse I had to return it and go to mcdonalds. I got a toaster sandwich and the Bread was soaked in butter wasn't Even toasted and the bacon wasn't even a quarter of the way cooked. Oh by the way you get like four little hash browns. Some fricktard woman was back there cooking I saw. Wouldn't go back.

•Good coffee
•Good breakfast sandwiches
•Good donuts (love the blueberry cake)
•Convenient
•Brand recognition
Competitors likely have better singular items, but DD puts it together in one place.

A place named after donuts should probably have good donuts lol. Anyway Shipleys has the best donuts period.
My mother in law and I contemplated opening a Baskin Robbins/Dunkin Donuts hybrid store here in Alex. $25k franchise fee gets you all the machines and everything to start. You just have to have a location with a porch/canopy area and pay to have it remodeled to the exact specifications. Had a great spot right next to a large high school of mostly middle class kids. We didn't pull the trigger but idk, seems like it would be a profitable franchise.

You are the first person I have ever heard say that Shipleys has spolied you. Their Kolaches are crap. And donuts are average.
Posted on 12/21/15 at 12:15 pm to tylercsbn9
I don't get it either. All of my coworkers from the Northeast love it. People rave about their coffee, but I generally think it sucks. Maybe I'm just a coffee snob from growing up in the Northwest. Seems to be a similar nostalgia as Canadians for Tim Hortons, which is also terrible.

Hot Shipley's are the GOAT.

Mary Lee's FTW.

Maybe I am spoiled by growing up in Houston and living here as an adult by Shipleys but why the hell are they so popular?
The donuts are crap. Kolaches are small and not so great. Breakfast sandwiches are decent. I don't drink coffee so maybe thats it.
I like you a lot now after you made this thread. Dunkin Donuts is garbage.
