There is a very good non chain doughnut store in Leesburg too !

Donuts, to me, are a completely unnecessary "luxury" that I don't miss and can easily do without. And I make better coffee at home, I'll be damned if I'll pay $2.10 for a medium regular, when my morning cappuchino (which you'd probably pay $5 for at Starbucks except they don't use Cafe La Llave or Bustello or similar) only costs me around 40 cents to make.
The reason DD stays in business is because people are willing to pay to have someone else do pedestrian-quality foods at premium prices. If you can afford a $1.50 donut every week, then you can afford a $3.00 donut every other week - or learn how to make your own and have them every day.
