Dunkin Donuts: Breakfast of Champions!



On weekends, we occasionally head to one of the several Dunkin Donuts shops around our apartment for breakfast. We usually get them to go and bring them home in the handy little carrying box. Unfortunately, we ate them too quickly for me to get any good photos of them. The donuts here look like the ones in the States, but they taste a little bit different. In fact, I actually prefer these to the ones back home, they aren't as heavy and they don't sit in my stomach like a rock afterwards.

Here, the top row from left to right has a kind of cinnamon roll (I keep forgetting which one this is), a honey fritter (has a drizzle of icing and chocolate on top, but looks similar to an apple fritter), a cranberry scone, and 3 glazed donuts. Along the side at the bottom is a raspberry filled donut with powdered sugar and a cocoa glazed.

The cocoa glazed is like a chocolate glazed donut in the States, but it's a darker chocolate and isn't as sweet. I like these much more.

The raspberry filled donut I think is available for a limited time only. For the past month or so, they've had a whole section that's dedicated to berry donuts, like berry fritters, raspberry filled, blueberry filled, strawberry cake donuts, blueberry cake donuts.

Here, when you go in, you grab a tray and tongs, then walk along the cases and put what you want on the tray. Take it to the register, and they total it up and put the donuts in a box for you if you're taking them away. Dunkin Donuts also has a dark chocolate mousse that looks pretty good. And they have a variety of cakes available too. And they do sandwiches and other lunch like items. And they have a full coffee, tea, hot chocolate menu as well.
