Yeah B’s right

It's the reason Dunkin' Donuts is now just Dunkin'. B/c their donuts are cake "donuts," and can't legally be referred to as donuts around me.

The difference between a yeast donut (superior) and a cake donut (shit*) is such a yawning chasm that they shouldn't even be classified as the same food.

You probably are getting cake donuts.

* exception for glazed blueberry

I think you might be on to something here. I'll have to try to track down a yeastie boye and report back.

Where are you from? Can you find a Krispy Kreme with their light on?

Also, here is an interactive map if you live within 60 miles of Raleigh, NC.

No chance an airport Krispy Kreme is making them on site, so fuck that.

Top Pot are the best down-the-middle donuts I’ve found. Nothing fancy, just great yeast donuts.

Yep same here. Someone brought in Top Pot a couple times / week at work, or in meetings, and at some point I just had to engage my ninja-like focus and abstain

one maple iced cake donut today and a few glazed donut holes stolen from the bag I brought home.

I don't really eat junk food, but someone just told me about this place. Might have to make an exception.
