Bring back Dunkin Donuts!!

Dreamer 7 · 2007-07-27 11:46:03

Does anyone miss them as much as me??? When I was in Barca this summer I bought a whole box and brought them to the beach for the best picnic ever. What was your favourite one??

There is a place on O'Connell Street these days that sells Donuts which another poster has confused with Dunkin Donuts.

No. Didn't confuse it with dunkin' donuts, just said I preferred it to dunkin' donuts.

Dough...nut?

I liked the ones you could get on the other side of O'Connell street. They were cheaper and tastier. Can't remember the name of the place. It was a little shop at the front of an arcade. Many, many years ago.

That's still there Terry!!! You can get chocolate or sugar covered ones!
I think it's 5 for €2!

Dunkin Donuts used to come to my school on a Tuesday - You could get a donut and a can for £1 - Them were the days

Coffee was my favourite - 911 aren't too bad, they replaced Dunkin Donuts in
UCD

Last year I was in London and I got off a Tube halfway through my journey cause I saw a a Dunkin Donuts IN THE TUBE STATION!!!!

Now I really miss them (

I remember the days of my youth. Would organise to meet my friends in Dunkin Donuts on Grafton street on a Saturday afternoon. A boston creme, a coke and about 10 smokes later we would head around to the hideout to play pool and continue our smoking. Those were the days.

Has anyone seen Tesco are stocking the canadian Donut company Tim Hortons donuts? I had one on Saturday morning gone and it was a great cure for a mid level hangover.

Somebody told me the Hideout was closed down a few weeks ago!

Say it isn't so!

Hell yeah! Krispykremes FTW.

OP, the Tim Horton's doughnuts available in various supermarkets now are not altogether dissimilar to DD.

Used to like dunkin donuts but recently I tried krispy kreme well a couple of years ago, I had to spit it out it was that sweet and sugary, pure sugar yeuch!

Not a big fan of donuts now...have to watch the blood sugar...

Tim Hortons isnt too bad.

I think the best donuts are the glazed ones you get in Wal Mart. When I was living in the states I used to get a ten or twenty box of them and I was set. A lot of melted sugar but worth it.

They have them in Tim hortons too, but you cant beat the wal mart twenty box for a few dollars.

I must've finished up in Maynooth just before they got the Dunkin' Donuts in there. They used to keep them in a glass cabinet thingie in the Quinnsworth in the village though. I used to buy them on a Monday morning after Geography class when I went there on my weekly shopping trip to buy food (usually pasta and tomato sauce). I like those Tim Horton doughnuts, especially the Boston Cream ones. And the coffee isn't bad either.

Krispy Kremes are delicious. Brought a big box back from London when I was there last.
Tim Horton's in Canada are wonderful too.
You can still get some doughnuts in UCD. These chocolate covered ones with custard inside and a few others.

I think about Dunkin' Donuts a lot.
They opened in UCD when I was there.

Favourite was a tie between Bavarian Creme, Boston Creme, Blueberry, Apple and Cinnamon.

Every time I go to the US one of my first missions is to locate a Dunkin' Donuts.
The logo is perfect.

Donuts with a hole in them and no filling = pointless.

UCD because many of the students looked down their nose at you not realising that I wouldn't let my B.Sc that I was working on at the time anywhere near my arse, unlike many of their Arts Degrees,

Eh what? arts isn't the only degree in UCD, not everyone who does arts is condescending and you can do a B.Sc. in UCD as well.
Anyway, does that place on O'Connell Street have a smell generator or something? sometimes i can smell those donuts from the bottom of North Earl Street!
