Wooderson Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Tim Horton's for coffee. I'm not much of a danish or sweets for breakfast guy. On the rare occasion I do have a donut, it has to be Paula's. No competition. Chocolate glazed peanut is to die for.

plenzmd1 Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Dunking all the way for big chain coffee/ donut. Duck Donuts down here is the best, made as you order and you decide what toppings etc. BTW, 7-11 coffee and sour cream donut way better than anything at Krisoy Kreme. Edited May 18, 2017 by plenzmd1

row_33 Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Tim Hortons. I love those French vanilla cappuccinos. Not fair to ask a Canadian this question. They used to sell extra-large English toffee caps, now it's limit is large for some stores. I guess people went into a diabetic coma too many times.

Tiberius Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 I like Tim Horton's coffee better but I'll drink DD. But of course I'll drink any coffee. I think McDonald's coffee taste like ass but its still ok

For the English toffee they made need a boat oar to scrape the pudding skin off the top of the mixture in the dispenser. It's an interesting sugar-laden treat, very underrated and unpublicized.
Bill from NYC Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 No more Timmies in the CNY area, they closed all suddenly over a year ago. Dunkin did a huge expansion maybe a decade ago when Krispy Kreme said they were coming to town. KK only built one store and it was shut down within a few years. It's actually a DD now. Personally, I like Just Donuts, creator of the Chicken Wing donut..... http://www.justdonutsnobagels.com/ Did they close the one in Ithaca? It was always packed when I was up there.

I think McDonald's coffee taste like ass but its still ok The neo-hipster element in my life swears by McDonald's coffee, I'm not convinced. I only drink it black or with 35% whipping cream (sugarless.) Edited May 18, 2017 by row_33
TakeYouToTasker Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Whenever I go to the Dunkin Donuts drive through and they ask me for my order, I just tell them to make me whatever they want. When they ask why, I tell them "Because you're going to totally disregard my order and make me whatever you want anyway, so this way I can't be pissed that you screwed up my order."

Yup, Star***** as well, friends who cannot have any sugar find that they get sugar needlessly despite asking 5 times that no sugar get put in their drink.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Has anyone gone to a Donut Connection? Better than TH and DD, IMO. https://donutconnection.com/ Also, has anyone tried any of the new mini donut places, where they custom make the donuts with various toppings? There's a real popular one in Pittsburgh called "peace, love, and little donuts," and I know there are similar places on the west coast. Really outstanding donuts. https://www.peaceloveandlittledonuts.com/
Rockpile233 Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Yup, Star***** as well, friends who cannot have any sugar find that they get sugar needlessly despite asking 5 times that no sugar get put in their drink. The Starbucks near my house probably has a 10% success rate with my order. I'm forced to go, as the significant other loves the lates and all that, but keep my expectations low. They messed up a large hot coffee with cream three times in a row on me. It isn't even called a coffee, but rather a "Pike Place" or something stupid like that. Now I just drive to Horton's a little further away and make an extra stop for my girl's drink after.

I'm a little bit sugar-avoidance obsessed these days, just a personal decision, nothing imposed by the doc, and what people are drinking from there "in the name of coffee" is total bullcrap
