Where are the best donuts in DC?

I think the ones at GBD near DuPont are pretty amazing. I was not impressed with Astro.

Donut consumption is not needed in order to have a thrilling life ?

I don't eat a lot of donuts, so when I treat myself about any donut tastes pretty good to me. i"m partial to the Dunkin Donut blueberry donuts. Glory Donuts in Frederick gets a lot of hypee. They're from the Georgetown Cupcake mold- limited supply, really high prices, and they're also completely vegan.

FU

Totally reasonable and appropriate response. Also acceptable: STFU, GTFO, GFY, unclench.

Dry & cakey. They shouldn't even be called donuts.

They are cake donuts. They are exactly what a cake donut is suppose to be.

But they are extra bland and get soggy from random toppings. Really nothing redeeming about them.

Plus, it gives me nightmares about OBX.

I've been trying to lose 10lbs since the new year. At .5 lb/week, it is slow going. Some days I just have to give in to temptation. My girlfriend dropped by with a thank you gift for picking her kid up from school all week. Hot glazed donuts from Krispy Creme and a bottle of wine. It was a delicious gift.

She's a keeper.

LOL. So true. And since I thought they were like Krispy Kreme, I tried them very fresh - freshly made in the shop in Duck, NC - and they were still just blah. A HUGE letdown since I love donuts.

Cake doughnuts are supposed to be crisp on the outside, if they're correctly fried. The heat forms a sort of caramelized crust on the outside, and the inside is tender. You people are so used to the limp, flabby things you get around here. Tragic!

Hot Krispy Kreme glazed..perfection..must eat it in the store. The magic will be lost if you wait until you get home (though the microwave will help). My family probably thinks that only 11 come in the box.

Exactly. That's what I don't like about Duck Donuts. Flabby is a good word.
