no we don't we don't need more fat people in ireland.

also dunkin donuts are disgusting, krispy kreme is where it's at in the donut world

cson

Eh, you can eat donuts and not be fat believe it or not.

There are a lot of US franchises I'd love to bring to Ireland; Chick-Fil-A, Potbelly, Dunkin, Einstein, Baskin Robbins, In N Out Burger, Chipotle, Portillos....

marketty

Add Panda Express to that list and every chinese takeaway in the country would be out of business

Never warmed to Panda Express; always thought the independant Chineses were much nicer over there.

Yeah there was, it was where Abrakebabra is now. I second the Kiosk on O'Connell Street, delicious! Still not a patch on Dunkin' Donuts though.

i got some there yesterday for the first time in years, only sorry i didnt get more that 6. lovely doughnuts

ScottSF

Agreed! I'm surprised Dunkin' Donuts is no longer in Dublin. Much better than Krispy Kreme IMHO. I noticed tons of DD locations while visiting Berlin recently.

As for donuts making you fat, I know many people who go to Dunkin just for the coffee. They have excellent and very popular coffee.

If you ever find yourself in San Francisco, this place is super popular:

I recently had a real nice donut and it was either from Lidl or aldi, i think the bake them instore.

ScottSF

...Lidl or aldi, i think the bake them instore

See there's proof that Dublin has sub-par donuts! Donuts are fried and not baked

Dunkin Donuts is the ****. They have it all over america and in Barcelona too! The Irish don't seem too keen on doughnuts though...

No but they seem to be fond of the other sugary crap you see for sale in overpriced coffee shops..disgusting.

Overprice coffee shops? What about londis, spar, etc and if you catch them early enough you can get fresh pastries. Starbucks isn't very popular and most coffee shops are reasonable in Dublin

Give the Irish one munch of a Krispy Kreme and that will change forever.

If anyone is heading to London anytime, they're all over the place. But take my advice, spoil yourself with a trip to their cafe in Harrods. It might cost an extra shilling but its well worth it and the donuts taste better there than anywhere else !

Seriously

Soundman

Go to Tesco. Find the Rolo doughnuts. Buy 2 packs. Go home. Close the curtains and be happy.

ScottSF

Rolo doughnuts

(is that how you spell it in Ireland?)! Wow that's just plain evil I'll have to make sure my health insurance policy is fully paid up before following your enticing instructions!

Soundman

Yup. Definitely make sure you have some form of health insurance as they are pretty addictive!

Sorry for the confusion. I was referring to Donuts vs. Doughnuts. Words tend to have a simpler spelling in the U.S. like color vs. colour.

Soundman

Simpler? Lazier more like

Haha

ScottSF

Laziness!?!?! Fewer letters to type equals increased keyboard productivity - it's all about saving time and energy

Mr Simpson

Tim Hortons is the shizzz, that is all.

doughnuts* we are not in murka.

Kizzonian

Have you tried the place on O' Connoll Street? It is just opposite Easons in the little hut type thing and oh my god they are delicious!

CianRyan

The Kiosk have opened up a full sized shop on Augnier St.
Haven't been to it yet, might treat myself this weekend.

It's called The Rolling Doughnut.

Mr Simpson

I really don't like that kiosk. Maybe its all those mornings I had to walk past it with a hangover with that smell wafting from it. (Why don't we have a vomit smiley?:D)

[Jackass]

O'Connell Street Kiosk is amazing! Best donuts I've ever had.

We need Tim Hortons here. Best coffee / donut place on earth and their breakfasts are amazeballs!

Are Tim Hortons not in every Spar and garage across the country?

[Jackass]

No. But their cardboard cups are.

DCT12

Have to agree its hard to beat the kiosk on O'Connell St.

It hasn't much competiton though...

Yeah their coffee seems like just standard Spar coffee but the donuts are pretty good when you consider the alternative is Cuisine de France. That one with the white icing and sprinkles is one of the best things about my life right now.

Gongoozler

I really don't understand why everyone loves the Kiosk ones they're like plastic. I've had the most delicious ones (in Tramore) and they're not good. It's hard to get good ones. Tim Hortons are fairly ok, but only for the chocolate, the donut part itself always seems kind of stale.

I've got a jam doughnut from Lidl today, the feel of it is divine, really soft. I'll let you know my verdict later when I've had it.

For clarity then, it should be Doh!-nuts.

CianRyan

I went to The Rolling Doughnut today and to be fair, it's not a doughnut shop at all.
It's a small sandwich place with a few dry, old looking doughnuts on the side. It didn't even look like they had a fryer in there.
So disappointed.

It use to be a treat on paddys day to go to dunkins with my old man after the parade. Fond memories!

The kiosk I'm not mad about. The chocolate they use is kind of crap. I'd love a Dunkins here though, their coffee is actually decent. at least better than a lot of insomnias etc.

Hi all,

Keep your eyes peeled for Empire Donuts in Dublin in the next couple of months. Freshly made american style donuts everyday. None of this frozen and thawed business that all the others offer.

CianRyan

Not that I don't appreciate a new doughnut place coming but Kiosk ones are made fresh infront of you.

That bring back memories of being a poor student in the 1980's. "8 for a pound". Got me through a few weekends. I didn't realise it was still there.

It's a different type of Donut. Kiosk donuts are cake donuts. Amazing when fresh. The American type I refer to are yeast raised donuts and are a much more complicated process to make. It's just a matter or preference really.

Gongoozler

well to report on my doughnut from Lidl - nomnomnom. I have a new go to place for my doughnut cravings. Even though I ate it probably 12 hours after it was made, it was still quite soft. I'll be looking for the chocolate covered ones next.

Empire Donuts

Location seems a bit inconvenient but I remain optimistic

Cienciano

Talking of Lidl, their frozen cream and jam donuts are amazing. €2 for 6
