I was pretty excited when DD opened their first shop here in Switzerland. But since we are all on the crazy health-train here I already expected that they won't taste the same like in the States.
But it couldn't be that bad...could it? Yes....it could!
The dough isn't the same at all like the ones in the USA. This one here is healthier, tastes not like a Donut. It tastes the same like any store-bought "Berliner" you can get anywhere here. That's not a Donut! Then the toppings. I ordered a Glazed Donut. In the states you'll need sunglasses to look at a glazed Donut....so shiny! But here...I almost couldn't see the sugar glaze. Thin...pale...it looked like it's sorry for itself!
And then...these Donuts are not fried. They're baked.... so it absolutely cannot taste original. A real let-down. And 6.40 CHF for a glazed and a strawberry sprinkled Donut is just too much. Even for Switzerland. Dunkin Donuts Switzerland only has the name in common. At first glance it might look like the real thing. After the first bite you know it's not. I always preferred Krispy Kreme over DD, but I thought: Hey, better DD than nothing at all here in my country. But now I don't care if they disappear again. Maybe Krispy Kreme will open one day....offering the real thing.
Only good part: Staff was fast and friendly! read more
