Finally succumbed to the temptation. Went to Donut King in Leesburg. Unbelievable selection of fresh huge donuts. Photo shows the rear rack of donuts and cases of fancy treats. Bought 6 donuts for $8.99. Superb and so yummy.

So much better than yada Dunkin’. The Leesburg store is on Rt 27 just north of Rt 44.

I asked the clerk if they will sell all before closing. He said No. then asked if they give them to shelters etc. He said they did until someone “got sick” and they had to stop. So they either take them home or toss them.

I’m not associated with DK, simply want to highlight a great product in the TV area.

So wish they would replace any premade frozen DD donut shops, with a Donut King.

We just buy dozen regular box at Donut King. But if kids come they all have mom and pop donut shops, and bring 2 dozen with them. The oldest stops at Duck Donuts, that are made when you order.

No! It is better for my wallet and my waistline that Donut King is not accessible by golf cart!

I agree - Dunkin rates a fat “F” by comparison - small and not freshly made within hours. (Most made off site days earlier in some factory).

Donut King is my go-to for donuts - Large, fresh, fluffy, full of flavor - I too am sorta glad it’s not inside the bubble, as I would have a hard time resisting it, and would easily be there first thing every morning. Dunkin’ is easy to resist, since the donuts are some of the worst, but they have decent coffee.

We have never gone there but several clubs will have them with dinners and for sure they are the best.

If they ever cam to the bubble DD would be out of business quickly

On your way back stop at Red Rooster cookies. So good you will wonder how you lived without them. One might as well run on sugar all day

Agreed, many many years ago Dunkin was a decent place but nowadays yuck. Also some of the morning staff at Brownwood are rude and very unappreciative. When ever the donut craving hits, it’s always a trip to the King!

Frozen donut made 6 months ago then thawed out. Tough, weird texture, dry, greasy to the touch, break open No crumble.

I remember 25 years ago - Dunkin made all their donuts fresh on their premises from scratch throughout the day - I would show up like 6PM and ask what was freshly made, and inevitably they would have several varieties that just came out of the fryer within the last few hours. Their downturn for me was when they expanded their menu offerings, and no longer became a “donut only” destination.

And I agree about the morning crew at the Brownwood location - when I stop in there for coffee my goal is try and make the counter ladies smile and say “hello” and “thank you” to me when they give me my coffee - sometimes I’m successful, but most of time it’s difficult to get them to exchange pleasantries or smile.

No votes for Krispy Kreme? Can’t believe the closest one is in Orlando!
