I vote for Krispy Kreme. But does anyone know anything about their coffee? Never tried it - I was too young to like coffee when I lived near a Krispy Kreme!

Been here 2 weeks and am in Krispy Kreme withdrawl. I know that SS sells them near Katy Belle's. But I'm looking for the "Hot Now" sign. By the way, they're coffee is very good.

Lots of you are probably too new here to remember the Bichara Bakery that used to be in there. I was really sad when they moved out and Starbucks moved in. I would love to see them come back in there. Great food! Never have been nor will ever be a Starbucks fan.

fyi, for those who mentioned dunkin donuts there is a golf cart accessible one on 466 across from the southern trace publix.

Definitely against Krispy
 
I love dunkin coffee with a blueberry cake or french crueller donut. But when I see the hot sign on at Krispy, I forget about coffee and the next thing you know I've had 6! And the sad part is, it's almost impossible for me not to go in!:D

Location in RI was not that easy to get too on a morning trip to work. Dunkin is on the way.

Krispy Kreme gives out free hot donuts, that's how I got addicted

:agree::agree::agree: I used to make morning trips just for the turnovers!!!

YES! When the "Hot Now" sign is on they will give you a free "Original Glazed" right off the line!

NO! NO! NO! I'm trying to tell you. It'll cost you five pounds. Maybe they only charge men two. Anyway, I'm not talking about British currency!

dillywho-- I remember Bichara. I hated it when they closed. I use to like to take a piece of their cherry pie home, for dessert.

mmatcg 06-08-2010 10:57 PM

Close out -- a trend? Maybe
 
Just found out Barnie's ( the one in front of walmart on 466) and Nathan ( the one inside Walmart on 466) were closed. Probably more close-out will be expected this summer.
