Several years ago, there was no competition for the best chain-store donut in Chicago: it was Dunkin' Donuts, or nothin'. But then, Krispy Kreme breezed into town and changed a lot of minds on how good a mass-produced donut could be.
Out of the two, which do you prefer and why? And of course, if you know of a small bakery that makes a donut superior to both... feel free to chime in with that info. Comments

DATE: Sunday January 26, 2003 -- 11:22:56 am There is no competition. Krispy Kremes are the food of Gods. I lived in Atlanta for 10 years, so they are not the "big deal" to me they are to people up North. I used to having a Krispy Kreme on every corner. FROM: Robert [E-Mail] DATE: Sunday January 26, 2003 -- 11:49:49 am The Krispy Kreme near me has a drive-thru. They win for that reason alone, although I've used it only twice in one year. FROM: SailorMoonFan DATE: Sunday January 26, 2003 -- 1:27:25 pm KRISPY KREME IS SUPREME! FROM: Matt DATE: Sunday January 26, 2003 -- 2:06:50 pm Krispy Kreme is definately superior to the wack-ass Dunkin Donuts. Most of my alltime worst food service experiences have come from Dunkin Donuts. One time I was at one and asked for water and was told I would have to buy it. Another time I wasn't allowed to buy any of the good donuts that were already made, because they were for the morning customers. Almost everytime you go to one they are out of anything good, and many times the ones in my area aren't even open at regular hours. As far as I'm concerned Dunkin Donuts is the pits. FROM: Ryan DATE: Sunday January 26, 2003 -- 2:52:07 pm The summer after my freshman year of college, I was travelling by train to visit Huyen in Roanoke. On the way down, I sat next to this high school girl who was from the area and she told me that I had to try Krispy Kreme donuts when I got into town. I had never heard of them at that point, but I made it a point to try one out when I got to Roanoke... I was definitely impressed (I got it nice and warm, which makes a big difference). FROM: Robert [E-Mail] DATE: Sunday January 26, 2003 -- 3:26:00 pm One more thing: a bunch of glazed donuts right out of the fryer at the KK in Alexandria, VA and a huge cup of coffee in the middle of the night will result in the best/worst feelings you can get from food. FROM: SailorMoonFan DATE: Sunday January 26, 2003 -- 8:36:45 pm I really like Krispy Kreme...I feel so sad...why r all of my comments being deleted? and i cant post on the driving ages one...i promise not to be off-topic anymore...please! FROM: jk DATE: Sunday January 26, 2003 -- 10:33:53 pm Death By Donuts: I first had Krispy Kreme donuts while in TN 8 years ago, and I ate close to a dozen glazed in one sitting. They are so innocently light and fluffy, you don't realize what you are really ingesting. FROM: Ryan DATE: Sunday January 26, 2003 -- 10:43:09 pm SailorMoonFan -- Try posting something substantial rather than having ten "different" people posting from the same IP address in a five minute span, OK? FROM: Robben DATE: Monday January 27, 2003 -- 4:43:19 am Tim Hortons donuts rule here in Canada! FROM: cm DATE: Wednesday January 29, 2003 -- 8:04:54 pm Krispy Kreme is good for its variety of donuts, but sometimes I just like to have some small munchkins from Dunkin Donuts. FROM: Nikki DATE: Tuesday April 22, 2003 -- 2:22:19 am Krispy Kremes are the best in the world. They taste very good hot. FROM: Christine DATE: Monday May 19, 2003 -- 1:40:06 am KRISPY KREME SUCKS! They taste so gross. My friend took me to a Krispy Kreme once and was ranting and raving about how good they were, after eating the first one I was asking where the first Dunkin Donuts was. The donuts do NOT taste good. Plus they don't sell anything else besides donuts and the coffee SUCKS! Dunkin Donuts ALL THE WAY! FROM: Rick L DATE: Monday May 19, 2003 -- 3:09:34 pm I use to work in a software store right next to Dunkin Donuts. Sure we'd see the occasional roach fleeing through cracks in the wall during spring cleaning time but it was still a good donut. However there is simply NO comparison when it comes to freshness. Not only do you get to see the fresh hot donuts come off the bakery line, the workers at Krispy Kreme are actually up front and honestly about how fresh/not fresh which donuts are and they even speak the correct language to convey the information to you!! How Could you possibly go wrong with that?? FROM: Valerie Barbeau DATE: Monday September 8, 2003 -- 9:55:31 pm No way KK sucks. We waited for 2 hours in line in Beaverton, Oregon and got 4 dozens of every kind. They were the smallest do-nuts ever. Do-Nut a Day here in Beaverton is the best and Walmart Super centers are second. ICK to KK FROM: hater DATE: Monday October 6, 2003 -- 5:43:58 am Krispy Kreme is what's wrong with America. Drive through donuts. Lets watch the country get fatter off this corporate BS. Never had one, never will. FROM: Paul DATE: Monday October 6, 2003 -- 9:22:49 am Sure, that's the way to go: post an anonymous comment on a website with a half-assed remark about what's wrong with America. FROM: donutexpert DATE: Friday October 10, 2003 -- 1:51:25 pm KK is way overrated. Some people in the south call them "Bubba donuts" because Bubba types like their food greasy and sugary. They have an awful aftertaste - if you burp 15 minutes after eating one you taste it for hours. Now they are going into Jewel and I think Jewel is making the biggest mistake of their lives. KK used to be known for the "hot donuts now" concept, but who in their right mind is going to stop in a Jewel to buy a KK donut that is about 24 hours old?! And the corporate theives at Jewel are charging $.75 for this crap. Their existing or prior line of donuts sold for $.39-.49 each. So much for Jewel looking to save their customers money on their grocery bill. Speaking of Jewel, they raise the price on their donuts, their profits are tumbling faster than an avalanche, but the big honchos at Boise, ID (Albertson's-parent company of Jewel) are seeing their salaries and bonus go up by 40-50%! Since taking over Jewel in 1998, Albertsons stock has gone from $50/share to $20/share. So the shareholders are getting ripped off, the customers are getting ripped off (Jewel doesnt pass along price concessions they get from suppliers - they keep the money), but the big shot execs in Boise get fat & happy. Krispy Kreme donuts suck! FROM: Paul DATE: Friday October 10, 2003 -- 3:35:08 pm Sounds like someone's got a case of the Mondays.... FROM: kmw [E-Mail] DATE: Friday November 21, 2003 -- 11:27:06 am I stumbled across this page in my search for a place to vent my KK frustration. Krispy Kreme is probably the most overrated thing our earth has EVER produced. I admit that taking a glazed KK donut and microwaving it for ~7 seconds and eating it is "kind of good." It's light and sweet and all of that, sure. And their design is very cool, I like the logo and retro scheme they cover the boxes and buildings with. But it's NOT a quality donut. It is a gas station donut whose only merit shows when the donut is served immediately after birth. And this merit is limited at best; perhaps I have a spoiled taste or something but the ingredients seem very cheap. The coating on a chocolate-covered donut seems to be made of very sugary, processed, bulk ingredients like you'd find in the frosting of school cafateria cake. FROM: Paul DATE: Friday November 21, 2003 -- 12:25:33 pm Say, that sounds familiar.... FROM: Kent DATE: Wednesday February 25, 2004 -- 10:57:48 am Krispy Kreme sucks. Everytime I've eaten one it leaves a filmy nasty taste. A friend said I have to try a fresh one so I did. Well, I have to admit that it left a filmier nastier taste. I'd rather eat dog crap. Fresh or not. Besides Winchell's Donuts are the best! I've also never had a bad donut from Dunkin. FROM: Dan Garcia DATE: Monday April 19, 2004 -- 5:02:14 pm DUNKIN DONUTS RULES!!!!! FROM: Aaron [E-Mail] DATE: Tuesday April 20, 2004 -- 1:36:09 am Since I just got back from New Orleans, I must say that beignets have taken the top spot on my list. FROM: Paul DATE: Tuesday April 20, 2004 -- 8:25:27 am DUNKIN DONUTS RULES!!!!! FROM: piece of crap DATE: Sunday June 6, 2004 -- 6:18:13 pm i think that the KK donuts are too havy and the filling is so unapitizing- they should make donuts with actual fruit filling- that would taste better and decrease obesity (since more people die in america due to obesity than from starvation) FROM: Lane Williams DATE: Wednesday June 23, 2004 -- 11:21:41 pm Krispy Kreme doughnuts are great. Just don't be a pig with them. Dunkin D.?, hah! Yankees can't make a doughnut, they don't even know how to spell them. FROM: Paul DATE: Thursday June 24, 2004 -- 10:33:40 am Wow, just noticed that comment from the appropriately-named "piece of crap..." FROM: Krispi Kreme Mama DATE: Monday July 19, 2004 -- 2:50:46 pm Krispi Kremes r the BEST!they'll rele make ur day!! FROM: Ryan [E-Mail] DATE: Monday July 19, 2004 -- 4:45:53 pm Rele? RELE?! FROM: Joseph DATE: Wednesday September 1, 2004 -- 4:43:46 pm Yankees can't make a doughnut, they don't even know how to spell them . FROM: JT DATE: Friday September 17, 2004 -- 9:12:53 pm Dunkin Donuts are FAR superior to Krispy Kreme. And here's the biggest difference besides DD's VARIETY: FROM: Paul [E-Mail] DATE: Saturday September 18, 2004 -- 9:29:33 am JT: Dunkin Donuts actually have TASTE to them. FROM: DATE: Sunday December 5, 2004 -- 11:25:45 am FROM: Adam DATE: Saturday February 5, 2005 -- 1:19:02 am Krispy Kreme is the best hot cold anyway. There microwavable. FROM: Marilyn DATE: Tuesday February 8, 2005 -- 11:05:41 am The best is KK - fresh & hot - with a steaming cup of Arabica Coffee House cafe mocha (Arabica is found in locations around Cleveland, OH). Too good! FROM: Joseph DATE: Tuesday February 8, 2005 -- 1:47:47 pm Marilyn: FROM: Clarence DATE: Monday November 28, 2005 -- 9:58:34 am In the Chicagoland region theres Buttermaid Glazed Donuts that can be found in most of the supermarket Grocery stores in that area. I think their glazed donuts are much fresher/softer and taste better than Krispy Kremes. FROM: Bigger piece of crap DATE: Thursday December 15, 2005 -- 11:07:56 am I hate Krispy Kremes krap (kkk) it sucks very baddly, and i would appreciate it if all thier stores dematerialized from the face of the earth.

I second the endorsement for Donut Den in Joliet!
I like KK a lot, but Donut Den rules. Big, fresh, not too sweet and not too greasy. Just the best. I can't stomach DD. They do no baking at DD, that's why everything is stale and tasteless there. Tim Horton's used to be good in the 1970s, but the last time I ate at one across the border in Windsor and later in Ohio, it was just a notch above DD. What a letdown. Where are there any Winchell's anymore? They used to be good, but I thought they went the way of BOSA donuts.
