Someone just walked past be in town (Dublin) with a dozen sized Krispy Creme donut box - does anyone know where these are sold??

Some Tesco stores?

Didn't someone set up a fake Facebook page so people would get their hopes up that it was coming here?

Last time I was in Edinburgh I brought a box of them back on the plane with me...

Somebody gave me one a while back and while it was nice, it was just, you know, normal doughnut nice.

I suspect a case of Apple or Superquinn sausages level of blind brand affection here.

Shyte. Am I missing out on a new craze here?

I walked into once. No scones or baps. Walked out.

I love them and the coffee there, there's one around the corner from my gaff here in Toronto. I'll be delighted if they pop up in Dublin before my return in July.

How do they compare with Tim Horton's?

Well if there isn't one in Dublin then where sells the best doughnuts?

They're amazingly good.

Timmies is cheap and cheerful. Like a medium mocha will set you back $2.48 (about E1.85) which you can't really argue with.

KK's vanilla spice latte is a force to be reckoned with though.

A bakery.

If I wanted sugar in a bag I'd go to a Special K shop.

It's a little bit out of the way, in a Carrickmines type place. It's only a 20min bus or so but we were slightly drunk going at the time and got a taxi for 20 pounds :eek:

So...don't do that. We got a bus back and ate them in the hotel watching Graham Norton.

For people who don't like coffee, maybe.

Does anyone know why the Dunkin Donuts in Dublin shut down? I just can't imagine them not making a killing here, but maybe the Irish just don't eat a lot of donuts?

biko · 05-05-2015 07:54PM

Nearest Topaz has donuts. You'll find them countrywide.

Happy to help

That and probably just bad timing. I don't think the coffee culture we have now was really around. People were mostly tea drinkers and having more that a biscuit with a tea was a bit much. I remember the one in Janelle shopping center in the mid ninthys always being empty

Nope, even for all my time in the US I've actually never had them. I did have Dunkin' Donuts doughnuts a couple times but amen't really a fan of doughnuts in general.

Even more sugary and glazed

HeidiHeidi · 05-05-2015 08:22PM

Am I raving, or was there a Krispy Kreme outlet on Grafton St about 20 years ago? On the corner beside Bruxelles, I think there's a jeweller's there now?

Dangerous Man · 05-05-2015 08:26PM

I never had one. I used to live about a five minute walk from one in Toronto for over two years and never bothered going in - I could tell you all about Tim Horton's donuts though - which are disgusting and so full of sugar they make your teeth hurt.

First time I came across these in Canada was horrifying the colours of the glaze on some of them would hurt your eyes

Nah, they were everywhere.

I'm convinced it was a KK - but it was so long ago that I can't be sure..... showing my age now
