Dunkin Donuts-Baskin Robbins

This is just a typical Dunkin Donuts location with a Baskin Robins too.
The thing I like most about this place is that it is open late at night… it’s just about the only place other than bars that is open late at night, which sort of bothers me (I really miss the Eagle Diner and the Corner Diner), but I’m grateful that you can at least get a donut here after hours.
I think as a chain, the Donuts from Dunkin are good, but not excellent. Nearly every independent donut shop I’ve been to has been better. I also think that their donuts could be healthier – they’ve phased out trans fat but they still use bleached flour and soybean oil.
If I were making donuts, there’s no question I’d use unbleached flour, and I’d work on finding better fats and oils to use. Soybean oil isn’t the healthiest oil and I don’t think it tastes particularly good either. With what I’m reading now, I’m starting to think that even pure lard may be healthier than some vegetable oils, although there are certainly better vegetable oils they could use. Dunkin also uses artificial flavorings in their donuts, and I think they could do without this – even with the artificial flavorings they don’t taste top notch so I think they’d taste better if they went the all-​natural route anyway.

If you are polite to them, they give it right back to you. Drinks are usually good.
