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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Donut King donuts with a nice DD iced coffee, the summertime treat !!

Restaurants and grocery stores can’t donate food for the same reason! Government decision years ago. Check it out!

HORNET 07-30-2024 02:08 PM

Think that Clermont’s better

Rocksnap 07-30-2024 02:35 PM

So far it’s DD as a bad donut. It can happen.

BostonTom 07-30-2024 06:36 PM

If you're from Northeast nobody beats Dunkins coffee ( french vanilla swirl ) the donuts have seemed to become secondary although their apple spice donuts are pretty good. Also Brownwood Dunkin staff has been very accommodating and pleasant when I go there every morning during snowbird season.
