My granddad was actually the creator of the Whole Donut. Every time we went to his house, he’d always have a box of day olds waiting for us. This makes me so happy to hear that people still remember it. :)

Unfortunate that The owners a sexist prick. I was the only man who had worked at any of the locations since he opened them aside from his son. Openly admitted that he only hires girls because they get better tips. Once sent me home in the middle of a 7am rush because my paltry, 19 year old facial hair was apparently an affront to his business, despite the fact that there was no published dress code policy for male workers. They fired me when I slipped on a spill, sprained my ankle and I asked about filing for workers comp for the time I missed.

Coffee and donuts are good though

All I can remember is the donuts tasting like cigarette ashes 😂 they used to smoke in the back while making them

Still one in westerly too. Grew up hanging around the one in Mystic in the 80’s

In some states (I am looking at you Rhode Island and Florida) they make it SO WEAK. Several times I got black iced coffee in both states and it straight up looked like weak iced tea. And tasted awful. And apparently Florida doesn’t do cold brew.

I was gonna mention Heavenly! But the one in Seymour off exit 20. Usually very quick and minimal line, while Dunkin down the road has cars wrapped around to the road.
