OMG!!! Donut King - wow…
 

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

Okay, Okay...............Time for a road-trip.

:clap2:

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

If only sugar agreed with me

What is a bad donut?

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!

Photos…

but! still better than no donut at all

Yes fresh made all day and free coffee refills in ceramic cups…

No, bad one aint worth the calories

Growing up our KK had the HOT sign about every two hours. Stop at KK every Disney trip, any leftovers is doomed for KK donut/ breadpudding. I love their coffee in my special cup.

Our store was around the corner from our 135 acres of farm, gave a reason to ride the fence line. Tie up, climb the fence and buy a donut, then 3 more for the ride back. All evidence was gone miles before return. Rest of the fence never got checked.

I really don’t understand the draw when mostly men sit outside sucking down as much DD free coffee refills as they can acquire. It’s just coffee, but for many “FREE” is like an addiction.

Might need a little Mystic Ice Cream with those cookies.


:icon_twisted:

no sir. I ate a 3 day old, stale, crunchy, chocolate glazed donut thins morning and dipped in strong coffee I cant think of anything I'd like better.



Wait, one thing that would be better was suggested by 3/5's wife a day or 2 ago. :bowdown:

Donut King is the absolute best I've had. When we go to our son's home in Longwood, he has a standing order for 3 Boston creams, 3 cronuts, and an apple and blueberry fritter. The cronut is without a doubt the best doughnut I've ever had, and everyone I know that I've given them to are hooked. It's a cross between a croissant and a donut. The bear claws don't suck either

So sad how they took a great business and are determined to run it into the ground.

My husband was just talking about how he was hoping for a good donut! (We tried DD’s and they were no bueno).

I rarely eat donuts, but, when I do Publix made fresh every morning, mouth full of sugar anyway.:faint:

Hardly the Donut “King.” Way too many times out of certain donuts.

My wife and I have friends who come to the US twice a year from Germany. Once upon a time, we took them to the Donut King in Minneola for dessert after lunch and they absolutely loved the place. So every time they come over from Germany, we greet them with a dozen of their favorites from the Donut King. So now it can be said that Donut King now has an international reputation That's not bad for a local donut shop.

Donut King
 

Their store in Minneola (on Rt 27) is even better. They have about 80 different donuts and they sell mini White Castle-style sliders, too.

Read Gut Check by Dr. Steven Gundry, MD

You can have them every Sunday at Ezel! The Church @ The Springs would love to have you come worship with us.....and give you a donut and coffee!!

THis has been my GoTo place for donuts for years. Great..and I mean Great tasting donuts and cinnamon rolls. Puts DK to shame, in my opinion.

Wife and I try to find reasons to go to Leesburg… Donut King is ‘da bomb’. Going tomorrow!!!! And they’ve got to be good, they’re open I think until 6:00 who buys donuts that late in the day??? Unless they’re good and they are.

KK is fried air IMHO

There is nothing like a Krispy Kreme donut. I just don't get them because they are too good.

No vote for a good donut is valid until you try Dip-A-Dee in Leesburg. You better get there early. They always sell out.

Krispy Kreme’s are good if you eat them within 10 minutes of them coming out of the fryer. After that they’re as nasty as cold McDonalds french fries.

:agree::BigApplause::eclipsee_gold_cup::agree::icon_hungr y:

You know McD is selling KK donuts in target areas. No different than buying a box at grocery, just more $

They belong together-lol. My wife had a knee replacement last year and was getting cabin fever. We hadn't been to McDonalds in about 4 years but for some reason she got a craving for a Big Mac. So off we went to the new McD's at Magnolia Plaza. Two combo meals were about $20. I told her for that much money I'd rather just buy a couple decent steaks and cook for ourselves.

Pricing at McDonalds has gotten out of hand. Not about to spend that much there when we can get a better burger for a little more
