Driving down the Route Formerly Known as 1 this morning, I noticed there's a new Dunkin' Donuts in the rear of the Vitamin Shoppe across from the Dedham Plaza - so basically on the same site where Krispy Kreme klosed the last of its Massachusetts shops in 2007. The new Dunk's provides welcome relief to people who missed the Dunkin' Donuts a mile back in Westwood, and who can't wait for the next Dunkin' Donuts 1 1/2 miles up at the rotary with Washington Street.

The only time it's worth going to Krispy Kreme is when the light's on and the glazed donuts are coming down the conveyor belt dripping with sugary goodness.

That's what a microwaved donut is. It's a god-danged travesty.

Krispy Kreme donuts were terrible. All air - you bite into one and you have to decide whether you need to chew or just let it disappear in your mouth.

They don't get past the Mississippi. Take a flying leap ...
Try to find one in San Francisco, LA, etc. Bwahhahahahah. Only the east coast runs on Dunkin.
I nver saw the big deal about Krispy Kreme

I never saw the big deal about Krispy Kreme. Their donuts were exactly the same as "glazed" or "honeydew" donuts at any other chain, though maybe a bit oversweet. Their coffee wasn't bad, but I've certainly had better. It was all hype. They never caught on in MA. The one in the Pru came and went so fast it wasn't funny.
Atkins killed Krispy Kreme

Krispy Kreme's downfall was that they decided to expand when the Atkins diet was really trendy. None of the fatties could have donuts.
Saying Krispy Kreme is a bit oversweet...

...is like saying John Lackey is a bit overpaid. And I've always been a sugar junkie.

Bring back Bickfords to the site! I need an Apple pancake the size of my torso.
Across from the Dedham Mall?
By noahproblem

The only malls near that site are Dedham Plaza and Legacy Place. The existing DD at the rotary is close to (what remains of) the Dedham Mall.
Yes, Dedham Plaza

Thanks for catching that.
I will investigate this in person

I'm headed over to the awesomeness of suburbia that is Legacy Place this afternoon. I will check this DD location to make sure it's up to the high quality standards we've all come to expect from the Dunks.
I do this out of love for the readers here, not for my own gain.

I didn't get there

I was so mad after getting my hair colored at a salon at Legacy Place (it's the wrong color!) that I completely forgot about donuts. When I got home I realized what a horrible mistake I'd made.
bad hair color - donuts = sad Nancy
Dancing Donuts
By egrzyb

As I drove by yesterday, there was someone dressed up as a dancing donut to try to get your attention and get you to pull-in. I just raised my ice coffee to him/her (purchased from the Dunkins on Washington Street in Roslindale earlier that day) in salute.
