Memorial Day weekend is so last week -- it's National Doughnut Day today! According to Wikipedia, National Doughnut Day occurs on the first Friday of June each year, and the event was created by The Salvation Army in 1938 to honor the women who served doughnuts to soldiers during World War I. Who knew?

national donut day

Today, you can celebrate by getting yourself a free doughnut of any variety at Krispy Kreme (no purchase necessary!), Dunkin’ Donuts (with any Dunkin' Beverage purchase) as well as at other chains and independent bakeries.

But if you have both a Krispy Kreme and a Dunkin' near you, like we do, which one to choose? Those traditional Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts really are addictive, but we've always loved the chocolate glazed, powdered and cinnamon from Dunkin'. How about you?

    Totally need "Other" here.

    I picked Dunkin' because I can't stand the awfulness that is Krispy Kreme. When it first came to my area everyone was so excited. The first time I tried them I almost puked. They have terrible texture and are just sweet on sweet.

    Just terrible.

    actually i do like olympic jam doughnuts, which is an independent doughnut shop which makes fresh doughnuts on order and fresh Sicilian doughnuts, but not the run of the mill american doughnuts that sit in a shop window for days at a time.

    I have a shop close to me that makes them fresh at 4AM and open at 5AM, they are fantastic and the best maple bars ever. I never get donuts at Krispe or Dunkin way too sweet.

    A maple bar is oblong and fried just like donuts, than a maple coating it put on it. It also can be injected with a cream filling. They are wonderful.

    maple bar long one

    i will try one one day i am sure, but it doesn't sound too appetising to me, i think i will stick to kitchener buns.

    Dunkin' Donuts makes REAL crullers and Bavarian cream. Krispy Kreme donuts are waay too sweet and they try to pass off fancy-shaped cake donuts as crullers and whipped frosting filling as Bavarian cream. Dunkin' Donuts forever!!

    try just the plain ones.. .the other ones are to much .. but try one FRESH of the belt

    I've had them straight off the production line. Watched the donut that I ate from start to finish. It was the plain glazed. That's the one I almost puked on. The other ones are even sweeter.

    They have no flavor other than sugar and the texture is not correct. I can get the same flavor as Krispy Kreme by just eating spoonfuls of sugar straight from the bag.

    The ones I made this morning were pretty good, cinnamon sugar and chocolate frosted with sprinkles.


    Also Top Pot Doughnuts and Voodoo Donut in the pacific northwestern US were pretty good.

    Krispy Kreme, but they are not in my area.

    It also depends on the chain store, some are nasty with lazy workers

    Krispy, BUT, they're ONLY the best when they are FRESH.


    Seriously, cold Krispy Kreme is as good as a friggin' donut you buy in boxes on grocery shelves.

    Dunkin wins the round if we're talking donuts that are an hour old. :)
