Off Topic

I found a place that sells cronuts for $2 each so it has been a pretty good start to the week.

  1. I would kill for a Dunkin' Doughnuts to open up here. Sigh, guess I'll have to make due with our fantastic coffee shacks and not-so-fantastic Safeway doughnuts.

  4. I'm in the land of D&D's but wish we had crispy cream around here.

    One of my favorite memories of staying at the Luxor in Vegas was that you could order your donut at Crispy Cream & watch it get made from start to finish.

  6. Crispy Cremes never did it for me. But the fresh donuts from the place on the corner were awesome. I hope the new place going in is as good.

    1. So, your Spudbuts comment has brought me out from lurking. Best donuts ever is right. Crazy that someone else here has Charlottesville ties.

  11. I don't even remember the last time I had a donut! But I've heard so much about Krispy Kreme that I would totally have to

    Also, we need more suggestions for book club for next meet,, although it seems like most of what we did was drink and talk shite.

  14. TTM - If you ever have a chance to get Krispy Kreme, make sure it's at one of their stores and was just made. You can sometimes find them in supermarkets and they're good there -- but if you start with those, you won't understand why people like them so much.

    1. I think I would have to travel for that, Zeeky. Krispy Kreme and Macy's: one day!

  15. Writergirl, nice to find another Spudnuts fan! There's one about 2 miles from my house and the best thing ever is when I'm driving by and see the "fresh out of the oven" sign switch on. Naturally, I end up making a u-turn so I can go in and grab a dozen. (Does that make me sound fat? lol) I love them and Peace, Love, & Little Donuts (maple bacon donuts and cherry cheesecake donuts FTW!)

    ReplyDelete
  16. I just got a hot fresh dozen of Krispy Kreme this morning and I just put the extra next to me on sofa for after I check in on what's new here. Haha. Jinx.

  17. Krispy Kremes opened a stall in the city near to me. So much excitement only to end up so disappointed. Sainsbury's jammy doughnuts are far superior and cost £1 for 5. Result.

  18. I'm originally from Boston, so I grew up on dunkin donuts. Once you have dunkin...absolutely nothing else can compare. Peet's coffee does though. Love Peet's coffee. Starbucks iced mocha latte is pretty good too.

  19. I read that first as coconuts and I was confused as shit. My ex used to call Krispy Kreme crappy Cromb doorknobs. Many a nite would we would leave the bar the double door and drive past Krispy Kreme on Independence Boulevard and see the fresh donuts now sign. There was always a stop. I don't care for them at all anymore.

    1. @Sherry the Krispy Kreme on Independence near Matthews? Went there with friends late one night and there were two women there that brought a pint of vanilla Haagen Dazs and were scooping it out and making glazed doughnut ice cream sandwiches. Just watching that one go down made one of my friends sing the Jay and Silent Bob rap part that goes "Smokin' weed, weed, weed".

  20. I don't even know what a Cronut is :( but there is this place that makes a butterfinger donut, it's kind of magical how it melts in my mouth and finds it's way to my hips.

  21. TTM-when you come to booze it up in FL with me I will introduce you to the only KK that matters in this world. And it's even better when the light is on.

    1. Are we still talking donuts, Dirty Bird? Or are we kidnapping hot dudes again?? Either way, I'm THERE!

    2. BWAHAHA!! Krispy Kreme has a Hot Now sign they light up.

      As for kidnapping the hot dudes, what happens in the Red Room stays in the Red Room. Plus you can't kidnap the willing;)

  22. Nobobdy has anything on the place that was a street over from my high school. They had one donut but I just can't recall the name of at the moment that me and the rest of the rifle team would get every morning after practice (We had to get there at 6:30am and practiced until the start of school at 8:10, since we had to be there so early our first period teachers let us come in about 8:45 so we could get some breakfast). They were chocolate donuts but instead of bein round, they were more like fritters, just huge, about 6 inches long and about 4 inches wide. Theyh then added chocolate glaze, whipped cream and cherry's on top. We could get those and a soda or milk for less than a buck (when we had to pay, they knew we were in JROTC and were getting doe with practice so most of the time, they just had orders ready for us and just gave them to us when we walked in)

    The same bakery made cakes and got our addresses from the school and delivered to all of us seniors on graduation day where the cakes all said "Thank you for your years of friendship! Congrats and best luck for your bright futures!" along with a dozen of the donuts we got every morning. Meant a lot to us and got my brother hooked on those donuts for when he went to the same school lol

  23. Somebody clue me in, please. What is a cronut?

  24. Rocket Donuts in Bellingham, WA.

    Maple Bacon Bar.

  25. Mag's in OC sells a maple bacon cronut that you can have cream filled or not for $3.75. Tis delish.

  26. If I ever pay more than 2 bucks for a goddam doughnut (sp) with makeup, the next thing I will do is asking someone to punch me.

    ReplyDelete
  27. @derek...yeah same in Vancouver. There used to be a few donut chains around but Tim Horton's came along and everything else is gone. There is a Krispy Kreme somewhere in the Lower Mainland, but I haven't seen it yet. And what exactly is a cronut?

  28. If you are even in Bridgeport, PA - Suzy-Jo's IS THE BEST!!!!!!

  29. Sainsbury 5 £1 jammies rock. I have a theory that you could leave a KK donut on a shelf for a month, and it'd look exactly the same. That's not a good thing.

    I don't know cronuts either!

    ReplyDelete
  30. @Alita it is a cross between a croissant and a donut, I had one in a bakery in Bathurst strangely enough and it was amaze. Adriano Zumbo also does one but the pretentious little git calls them 'Zonuts'!

    I lived on Tim Hortons when I backpacked around Canadia....I was alllll about the Tim Bits....not so much the coffee...

  31. TTM I've been to Krispie Kreme in Calgary (that's where you are, right?). Whatevs. Take a Timmy's honey dip and stick it in the microwave for a few seconds.

  32. Also, if everybody hates Tim Horton's so much WHY IS THERE ALWAYS A LINEUP?

  33. Y'all need to come south and get some donuts at Shipley's. Yum yum! We have a local place right by us that is extraordinary - I'm pretty sure no one needs to be quite that close to a donut place, but dang if they're not good!

    ReplyDelete
  34. @TTM--Robins sounds familiar, but I don't think I ever went into one. About two years ago Timmys started changing their cup sizes and the coffee went down hill. The last time I had a cup of coffee there it tasted like water.

    ReplyDelete
  35. @audrey maybe the water they used there was depressed and needed a talking too from princess gwennith

  36. LMAO @sugarbread maker.

  38. Chuck's Maple Bars.

    Enough said.

  39. Don't get the Krispy Kreme thing aTall!
    It's a fresh, plain glazed donut.
    Give me a mom n pop Apple Fritter or Chocolate Buttermilk any day. ACTUALLY, donuts are on my "never eat" list. And Chimechangas. Of coarse Bacon is a Hell yeah!
