And it's easy to order doughnuts in moderation, it's not some instant fat, diabetic, carb bomb. 

But I always get a kick when I see a Thai person on BTS carrying home a bag with like 2 or 3 large boxes full of their donuts....

 

I'm never quite sure if they're planning on trying to resell them somewhere that's KK deprived, or they're just for personal consumption.

 

PS - I think "sugar bomb" is probably the more apt description. ????

DD seems to be a pretty small operator in terms of corporate donuts:

Looks like predominantly an East Coast and Southern operation.

 

So their niche is customizing donuts?

 

"It all began on the sandy beaches of the Outer Banks in Duck, North Carolina. There, Founder Russ DiGilio and his family would enjoy relaxing and fun vacations. But something was missing – there was no place to get that sweet staple of happiness – a warm, fresh donut! So, they decided to create their own which led to the first Duck Donuts opening in 2007. Now, you can enjoy the taste of the Outer Banks in your backyard by visiting one of our 100+ locations across the country!"

How many have had a real apple fritter?  Crispy on the outside and full inside of apple and cinnamon.

One of my favorites -- a well-made apple fritter, dark and crispy on the outside, soft and moist on the inside, sweet apples and cinnamon....

 

And probably enough sugar to last you for a week. I had a wonderful one on my trip back to the U.S. earlier this year... not at Duck's... But it was a one-off excursion to excess!  ????

From the OP news report regarding the new Thailand branch:

 

"The company also plans to expand its range with local specialities, including Thai tea, matcha, pink milk, mango, and salted egg flavours."

 

Personally, I'm holding out for the som tum, larb and moo ping flavored donuts!

Tim Hortons has brewed coffee and you can find.  Go to a Tim and aks for a double-double. 

Can you translate just what exactly you're saying about the Tim Horton's chain?

Mmm stale bread and condensed milk.  The lowest possible quality.  Yummy!  Can I get a coffee with that?  Staff:  No

How many have had a real apple fritter?  Crispy on the outside and full inside of apple and cinnamon.  Or, how about a real old fashioned.? Crispy texture on the outside, soft in the middle. Or, a layered donut 10 to 12 layers of very thin donut stacked together.   Or, a bear claw?

I was just browsing their menu as listed on their U.S. website...

 

I didn't see anything remotely resembling an apple fritter, old fashioned or bear claw...

 

Just a lot of traditional cake type donuts will all kinds of different icings and toppings layered on top.
