    Krispy Kreme here in the South, where they are made fresh 24/7. Duncan came in for a while but didn't last a year. Between the two I prefer Kripsy Kreme. I was very surprised to find a Krispy Kreme out west in Santa Ana, CA on one of my trips out there.

      it's the same way up here , and what realy stinks is when the donuts are gone...they are gone until the next day when the delivery is made.

        When I was a kid we had a local bakery on Main St in the village where I grew up. Of course those were good.
        Dunkin Donuts nasty cereal from the 80's tastes better than their donuts.

          I love Colonial Donuts on Lakeshore Ave.

            Yeah, Krispy Kreme tried in Toronto too. I don't think they lasted too long. It's all about Tim Hortons in Canada. I swear that owning a Timmy's franchise is practically a license to print money here (my mother used to do the bookkeeping for a franchise owner and would strongly agree with this). I live in a small town and we have a half dozen in the area, the drive throughs always have huge lines, mostly for the coffee that the same people buy every day (as a non coffee drinker, the concept of people waiting in line every day and spending good money for coffee really mystifies me. Does it really taste that much better to make it worth spending all that time and money compared to making it home?)

              As a coffee drinker let me just say...Yes!!!
              A good cup of coffee can get you through the day...LOL
              It is an addiction and Timmy's knows it.I think they have the second highest caffeine count second to only Starbucks.
              I have waited upwards of twenty minutes for decent cup of java.
              But now I usually make my own and throw it in the thermos still not the same though.

                Yeah, when I used to drink coffee it never tasted the same at home. I loved Perkin's coffee.
