I hail from Houston, Texas home of KK doughnuts. I would kill for having them here. In Houston he waait ofr KK doughnuts can be an hour at least especially on week-ends. Getting them fresh and still warm is best. They melt in your mouth.

I am not a doughnut fan myself but when I was home last September, my Aunt made me try Cielo’s doughnuts – which is right across Ateneo. I found it absolutely fabulous, light and oh so yummy! Its not at all heavy or cakey. You get the doughnuts fresh, right out of the oven (or fryer) and you get to choose a topping – try the cheese! YUM!

The only time I walked into the Kk branch in Fort Bonifacio, there was no line, no one else in the store. Maybe on weekends they’re a bit busier.

I prefer the sour cream donut to the regular donuts. And yes, add my vote to Maria Clara’s bread pudding suggestion. Add some of the old donuts to any regular bread pudding recipe and it should make your dessert extra special. I’ve also re-jiggered the basic donut with some ice cream and jam, or how about partnering it with some sharp cheddar? A really good combination!

negrosdude, those are exactly the two branches I ALWAYS have to queue up in! There have been a couple of times when I’d enter because there was no line, but by the time I’m ready to buy, a line has formed instantly! And it’s a slow line. At least in KK, it goes quickly.

I find the Krispy Kremes sold here a tad too sweet than the ones in the US. And I think Php30 for a doughnut is just way too much!

gads, yep, i think lining up for a doughnut, any doughnut, including Krispy Kremes is a little bit too OA for me. katrina, go to Breadtalk in Powerplant, i’ve never seen people lining up for anything in that branch. come to think of it, i’ve never seen any line in BreadTalk’s glorietta branch near oakwood either.

Joey, did you mean these kind of streetside freshly fried donuts? I love them and get them for just PHP2 each at a Nasugbu bakery on weekends... yum is right! Izang, they discount the price if you buy lots...its part of their strategy...but in the end PHP20 for a doughnut is still kinda pricey!

their store here in the fort is near where i work…and you are absolutely right that the long lines are a hype but maybe people go out at the same time during lunch and after work that’s why they converge together all at the same time….

i have tried their donuts but they are overly sugar-coated and much too airy…and i think that their price of Php350+ a box is too expensive…due to high rent maybe?

and i am too fidgety to wait long lines…hehehe

Until I tried KK Orig. Glazed fresh and hot off the line, I didn’t understand the hype. There’s just nothing like it! Even my picky, purist dad who never liked Dunkin’ Donuts can’t get enough of KK. But MM, after all the flavors I’ve tried, the traditional cake was the one I liked the least; I didn’t even bother to finish it(waste of calories). My favorites are the Sour Cream Glazed and the cruller. I don’t go if there’s a long line, though. I go on off hours.

Speaking of lines, I don’t think the KK line’s intentional — it actually moves quite quickly. The store where I think the line is ridiculous is Bread Talk! I’ve rarely seen it without a line, and a long one can materialize in minutes, despite their having more than one counter in some branches. They’ve got to realize what a turn-off it is (even for a bread addict like me) and come up with a more efficient system.
