    I honestly cannot tell the difference between donut brands. I'm not too big on them, but when I lived near UH, I did like going to the one next to Wendy's. I forgot which one it was.

    Also I don't know if it has been mentioned in this thread... but I heard that Dunkin's coffee is the boobs?

    16 new locations. Just what the fattest city in America needs.

    As has been mentioned, their coffee is supreme. Their donuts are not noteworthy at all. Certainly they aren't as good as Shipley's

    Shipleys have some pretty good donuts for breakfast.

    Or does that make me donut-r****ded? I enjoy their hot chocolate as well. But then again, all donut brands and hot chocolate are the same to me.

    You can't believe the Houston Chronicle's website considers this important news? The HOUSTON CHRONICLE?

    I think I've always like Dunkin better than the others because I don't like warm donuts.

    Had my first Krispy Kreme in San Marcos a month ago. Blew any donut I've ever had away.

    The Shipley's near my parents house used to give me fresh donuts that were just cooked (and still hot) with the sugar still partially melted.

    Still haven't found any place that can top that.

    I was under the impression that all donut shops do that if you come early enough. The Shipley's near UH would give me fresh donuts off the oven in the mornings.

    Donuts are bad for you. Why can't they make a semi-healthy donut that tastes good? Don't most people go to Dunkin for their coffee and not the donuts?
