Hopefully they will sort out the road arrangements a little better than they did in Misssissauga.

There was no parking for Futureshop as all the spaces were taken up by the hundreds of people in line. The police setup a new unused piece of road as a queue line for the hundreds of cars waiting for the drive-through.

I am even more confused having tasted the nasty greasy unexciting things!

Half the people I know think KK donuts are too sweet ~ I don't think there is such a thing LOL! I once bought a dozen KK's and ate 3 each day for 4 days ~ hence the step class tonight and 30 minutes on the elliptical last night LOL! Chat soon! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc <------ me at the gym

I agree rcomputer I hate them they are nasty things. I had some in Georgia and it was like eating a hand full of sugar all crunchy when I eat a Boston Creme donut I shouldn't be crunching grains of sugar yuck. That and the glazed were just plain well ewww that is all I can say hehe. I AM CANADIAN no KK donuts for me

The Krispy Kreme in Richmond Hill is going to open at Yonge and 16th ... I drove by the other day and they started to dig out a little spot for the shop .. at least I think. It looks like its going to be located outside of the mall (I forget the name) ... and I heard its going to open in September 2002.

I love those donuts! My favourites are the glazed and the custard filled one. Yum! Gotta have them when they're warm though...

The other one is in Windsor. The KK in Mississauga is about 1 minute from my office and it's an unwritten rule now that all staff meetings must come with KK donuts. :D
I read that construction on the new ones will be opening ASAP.

I'm hearing that the new KK is going in at Ottawa and Strasburg
Radio said one was going in London too

Dh and I went to Mississauga today and (of course :teeth: !) we stopped in at KK for our "2 to Go" (1 doz original glazed, 1/2 doz cream filled glazed and 1/2 doz devil's chocolate) and when we got home I discovered a sticker on one of the boxes with the new locations opening this fall:

Kitchener ~ October 2002 ~ 800 Ottawa St. S (Strasburg Rd. & Ottawa St) (you heard right Mary Lou!)

Windsor ~ November 2002 ~ 3155 Howard Ave (Roundhouse Centre)

I'm confirming that a KK is going in at Ottawa St., at the new Laurentian Power Center that they're building there.(So i guess you could say that the KK will be on the corner of Ottawa and Strausburg, but really, it'll be in the mall, not at the corner..) It's about 3 mins walk time from my house, He he. :)

Tho, i'm really not that big on KK donuts. I don't know what the fuss is about.. i've had some, and besides being more gooey and sticky, and having a slightly different dough in them, i don't see the big fuss. Ahh well.. i'm a Timmies fan. Perhaps that's it. :)

I agree with you FX KID I don't like them either give me Timmies anyday.

I've only ever had a KK at Dixie Landings, and it wasn't very fresh. I'll have to try one of the custard filled ones and see what I think, but for now it's Tim's for me too! :)

Can I bring you back a donut Sandra? ;) :)

SpecialFXKid

08-08-2002, 12:06 PM

Whoops! I'm wrong, everyone else is correct. It IS on the corner of Strausburg and Ottawa, but NOT the corner that the mall is on. It's going in on the corner across the street from the Timmies and the Gas Station. (It's just an empty field right now)

As an interesting story. A co-worker was down in the States for vacation this past weekend. They came back with two boxes of KK donuts. They brought one into work and no one wanted one. Everyone had tried them previously somewhere and didn't like them. lol.

I wonder how well KK will do here?

Judging by the line-ups in Mississauga, I think they should do well in their other locations (and I'll be helping out their Kitchener location ;)).

The thing I like most about KK is that they are so FRESH and so light in texture, that they melt in your mouth. Yes, they are sweet but I can't say that I've experienced one where the glaze was like granular sugar. I do think that they are best when they are warm, though and any that I bring home I put in the microwave for the suggested 8 seconds each. I once bought some at a Georgia gas station convenience store on the way home but they weren't the same as getting them "fresh".

Most of the time I have found Tim's donuts to be stale because they have sat around since early morning, so I usually avoid buying them and chose something else. JMHO :D

I love the things. In our house a dozen is lucky to last until the next morning. The thing is it seems that they are like coffee. You either like them or you prefer one of the competitions. My inlaws think they are too sweet, and prefer the good old fashioned Tim Hortons. Not being a coffee drinker, I think I now understand why Starbucks fans hate Second Cup coffee, and vice versa.

SandraC

Starbucks coffee is like tar LOL! When my dd stayed at Sick Kids, I used to drink Starbucks only because the walk to Timmy's late at night scared me. I think I have an emotional hatred towards Starbucks, it reminds me of Sick Kids. Ohhhhh, I'm getting the willies right now! LOL! S

SpecialFXKid

08-12-2002, 06:55 PM

Yep, I guess it's all a matter of preferance, but it seems that lots of people do enjoy KK Donuts here. :) (but i'm still a brainwashed Timmies fan)

My vote is also in for Starbuck coffee tasting bad. Well.. that is if they had REAL COFFEE. I'm not talking about the Triple-Mocha-Cappa-Frappa-Papa-Chino Deluxe Twist-With-A-Foot of Cream On Top-And a Dash of cinnomon-Garlic-Orange-Powder-Coco-Latte-Creme-Juice. Not to mention all of this in a cup size that isn't defined by or obey any recognizable orderly law in the universe.

After ordering one of those coffee abominations, I feel that I need to look around for the olympic judge holding up one of those point signs, like my order was some complex diving maneuver.

I have just been informed that apperently there IS a normal coffee at Starbucks. It's called the Americana or something like that. I always thought it was called COFFEE.

Of course, this is just my opinion. heh. :jester:

FAVOURITE COFFEE: Timmy's English Toffee Coffee!

I agree with SandraC! I love their English Toffee coffee drink!

LOL, SpecialFXKid! Could you still see straight after one of those concoctions? ;)

Actually, when we go to Starbucks, it's usually also to Chapters and Dh, (who loves Tim's coffee), orders the "mild of the day' because he finds anything else there too strong. I'm not much of a coffee drinker and always get the Tazo Chai.

Recently, a friend and I went for lunch at Williams and she introduced me to a mocha caramel frappé ~ now THAT was Yummy!! :D

Took forever for the lineups to disipate (sp.). In Orlando April they did not appreciate my excitement at no line. Last time we went we had 7 donuts (3X2 and 1) waiting in the 10 minute line....

Love the glazed filled (yes way too sugary).....

Very funny SpecialFXKid! :cool:

Went to my sister's place last night. Her DH had brought home a dozen KK donuts and she needed some volunteer taste testers. Hey, it was for research! :p

Had a cream filled glazed. We nuked them for the suggested 8 seconds. It was nice and light, but very (too) sweet! I still prefer TH, but wouldn't mind being a KK taste tester again! :)

Unlike Lay's chips (I'm out of control with those things...lol), I was able to stop at one.
