Dunkin Donuts?

    Has all trace of Dunkin Donuts been removed from Ireland?
    I remember most of their shops shut down but some Cafés used to keep a Dunkin Donuts stand.
    I love to get my hands on a few of their Double Chocolate donuts.
    Is there anywhere left in Ireland where you can get them?

    Used to be one in a garage in Limerick, long gone now though.

    Tim Hortons is the future

    nine one one in UCD is the only remaining one. Its not called dunkin donuts but they are the exact same.
    there used to be a few Nine one ones in petrol stations - texaco possibly, but I don't know if they still do.
    What kind of donuts do they do in Esso On The Run? Cos I think they might be similar too.

    I remember their shop in Ballyfermot, mid 90s maybe? I don't think it lasted very long.

    I just noticed that the online Golden Pages still has their shops listed! Grafton Street, The Swan Centre in Rathmines, The Square and Ballyfermot are all there.

    The tim hortons here are rotten compared to what they are in canada (and some parts of the north east of america)

    If your over there do yourself a favour and get some, even if you dont particularly like donoughts

    I find that Tim Hortons are nearly alway stale when I get them. I can't stomach them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,166 ✭✭✭witnessmenow


    yeah i found that with them too. But over the pond there always fresh, cheap and delicious!

    in tesco the tim horton ones are usually fresh enough. in other places they can be horribly stale.

    Not in the 3 Tescos I've tried. (My mum still thinks I like them and buys them for me so I have to eat them.) Although I might pop down to tesco in Galway seeing as you said they're fresh there. (Although maybe not, it'd be easier to go to M&S for one!)

    it probably depends on the time i visit tesco, usually sat afternoon during my lunch break, though i have got one or two stale ones

    Do we have anywhere nice that do Dounuts??

    The thing is a Dunkin Dounuts in the middle of town would do superb.

    Janeybaby, the ones in Tesco in the Galway Shopping Centre are always stale even if you go before lunch. I've given up trying them..

    Ah Tesco is too far for me to walk to anyway, I might just make my own doughnuts.

    They still have them?

    Nothing will beat Krispie Kreme! We need them in Ireland!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    Krispie Kreme were meant to roll out in a number of locations including Ireland, I guess that didn't happen yet. I live in the US and don't think Dunkin' Donuts are all that tasty, prefer some from the local bakery.

    I loved dunkin donuts there used to be one near my schol. there were rumours going round for years that they had to close as traces of cocaine were found in the donuts lol

    My god, if there was Cinnabon's on this side of the world, I'd be the size of a house! Starbucks cinnamon swirls are bad enough!

    Is that Wendy's still over in the garage near ballyfermot (cherry orchard, i think???) please say yes, please say yes...


  • Registered Users Posts: 358 ✭✭Raven_k42


    ....anytime in London...on the way from Victoria to Gatwick....or Paddington to Heathrow....I stock up in the rail stations !!. They usually have deals for 12...or 24...and they come in a box which are handy to carry on the flights. Almost worth a trip in themselves !!!.

    Strange how they haven't made it here...as the outlets in Victoria etc are really small...

    Well the one I work in they arrive in boxes and are kept in a chiller, that's probably why they're not fresh.
