Dunkin Donuts and Baskin Robbins

My mother does her best to keep me eating right and healthy. Sometimes it's not so easy when there are so many places to get some pretty amazing desserts. I use to think that the only place to get good sweets was my grandmother's desserts. Since she is far, that isn't always easy to get them. I needed an alternative so I just started looking for places to go. That was around the time that I started to have a great liking to donuts and other pastries. Most of you know the logo when you see it. You see the commercials on television. In the winter their coffee is always warm and comforting. You may even start your day out with their coffee and donuts, Dunkin Donuts. Although, in the summer the place you may like to go is Baskin Robbins because of their ice cream. If you like both, you're in luck. You can get coffee, donuts and ice cream all at the same place.

 

The Location

Location is always key. I had seen the same building for many years and was surprised some time ago to see that there had been a remodel.The whole place was closed due to the renovations being done. Dunkin Donuts now had a very new modernized look. I did miss the old look because it let in much more light and I had gotten so use to it but this new appearence had the latest technology and
 attracts more customers. No matter what restaurant or food place you go to, cleanliness is always important. Whenever I go, I can always count on a clean environment. I won't eat at a place that is filthy. There are never any signs of insects either. When I arrive at night, I usually see an employee cleaning the tables or moping the floors. When your food is given to you, all the employees always have gloves on and the female employees have their hair up.

The Staff

Sometimes it seems like everyone in town wants to go get either ice cream or a pastry. Even though there are many people there at times, I still think that it's worth it. The place is never a mess. I can't say that I always get the best service because all employees aren't perfect. There have been instances where I have left very disappointed with the service that I received. However, the service has gotten better now and I have no complaints as of now. If I had to rate the staff on a scale of 1-10, I would give them an 8.



The Food

                                                                   

Let's start with the good stuff, the baked goods. At Dunkin Donuts, you can get many kinds of pastries, not just donuts. Maybe instead of a donut, you can get a muffin or a danish. Whenever I go, I like to get myself a marble donut.I have tried other flavors like the Old Fashioned donut, but wasn't too satisfied with it. When I tasted that particular one, it seemed to me like it needed something more. It was too bland, even though it was kind of a plain donut, like it needed some more sugar or something. Maybe I just like things sweeter, but donuts need to be sweeter. The good thing is that there is a large variety to choose from.

Beverages

It's also a good idea to have something to wash your food down with. Coffee has always been a much loved drink of mine. For me, the iced coffee is the best, no matter what time of year it is. The regular hot coffee tends to be stronger than the iced coffee. Coffee, for me, tastes much better when its creamier. However, I did have to pick a favorite; it would definitely be the hot chocolate. It sweet, but not too sweet so it hurts your teeth, and its the only one that won't burn my tongue.

Ice Cream

In addition to just baked goods and coffee, there is also ice cream available thanks to baskin robbins. With so many flavors to choose from, its hard to make a choice sometimes. With so many flavors, it takes people sometimes quite a bit of time to pick a flavor. The best flavors tend to be those with vanilla ice cream in them. For example, the cookies and cream tends to be a favorite and the chocolate chip ice cream as well. My favorite thing about their ice cream is that its very creamy and rich. Overall, I would rate the give the ice cream a perfect 10.

 

 

 

So now you know, all about the different choices that are available at the Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins. Whether you prefer hot or cold, you can find it all there.



Donut Lovers Dream



Who doesn't love donuts? Whether you like glazed, chocolate or even sprinkles, you know it's going to taste good every time you sink your teeth into it. Yes, I'm talking about those small ring-shaped fried cakes. Everyone loves them and they have become very popular over the years. Donuts have been around for many years now. Throughout the years, more and more flavors have been made and there is more variety than ever before.

 

Nowadays, places like Dunkin Donuts and Krispy Kreme  have become very popular not only for those going to get their morning coffee but for their donuts.

 

 

 

 

Dunkin Donuts is a place that we all know and love. Some of us go in the morning to get the day started with our morning coffee. Others, like me, just go for their donuts. The best donut they have there in my opinion is the marble frosted donut.

A dozen donuts

 

 

 At Dunkin, there is a wide variety of donuts including glazed, Bavarian Kreme donut, old fashioned cake donut, strawberry frosted donut, etc. There is always something for everyone. At my house, a dozen donuts doesn't last us very long.

 

 

Yummy!

 

 

 

Krispy Kreme has also become a well-known donut shop over the years. At Krispy Kreme, you can find that they are always coming up with new flavors to add to their extensive list of donut flavors. They are also known for their signature treat, the original glazed donut. Some of their new limited edition flavors include dark chocolate strawberry and double dark chocolate. So for my chocolate lovers out there, you know where to go.

 

Here are just some of their different choices:

 

 

 

In recent years, smaller, family owned donut places have arisen all over. Most of which are located in small towns, like Joliet.  For those of you looking for a more of a family run business, than I know exactly where you should go. In Joliet, Illinois there are two places that I recommend. I recommend Home Cut Donuts and Donut Den. These are places that the community knows well and they are their regulars.

 

While these places aren't known all around the world like the others, they offer good donuts and even good service. Every time I go there, I always get great service and it makes me want to come back. They make you feel right at home.
 

 Home Cut Donuts in Joliet, IL

 

 

Home Cut Donuts may not be world famous but they have been featured on Chicago's best. Ted Brunson can agree that they have the best donuts in town. They are especially famous for their Angel Creme Eclairs that are out of this world. There is no doubt that homemade is always in season. They are also open 24 hours so you can go anytime you need donuts or just want something sweet to eat. Anytime is a good time for donuts.

                                

 

Donut Den is also a good place to go. As soon as I open the door, I am greeted by the sweet smell of donuts and other pastries. Once you walk in, you see all of the delicious donuts that they have for you to choose and buy. There is also a very cozy atmosphere. It makes you just want to sit in there and eat donuts all day. I know that happens to me when I go there. What makes this donut shop different from others is that they make their donuts right in front if you. You actually get to see what you're going to buy.  

 

 

Although, don't plan on going late at night. They are open from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.  So if you want to get your donuts, make sure to get there on time. Some say that it's worth it though. For those who like to wake up early, the donuts are made fresh daily so the best ones are early in the morning.

Overall, I prefer Dunkin Donuts because I go there often. I am always satisfied with what I get. The service is ok. Some days are better than others but my experience always has more good than bad. They have a very large variety and their prices aren't so bad either.  If I had the choice, I would be there sitting at a table. I would be watching the cars pass as I sip my coffee and enjoy my marble donut. Yummy!

 

 

 

 

 

Don't forget that National Donut Day is June 7rd, 2013! Be sure and go to your favorite donut place to get yourself favorite donut! There is never a bad time for donuts, ever.
