| - There are some things you miss out on growing up in a California city. Dunkin Donuts is apparently one of them. Though I've had their coffee in various East Coast cities and in airports, I'd never had the full donut experience until recently in Scottsdale.
I had butterflies in my stomach as I walked into the small, brightly lit store. With so many varieties of donuts, pastries, and coffee beverages, how would I know what to choose? It didn't help that the line moved super fast so before I knew it was I was stuttering confusing things to the cashier. She was super patient as I took forever choosing my donuts. I didn't realize that they 'dressed' your coffee for you, and as I was ordering coffee for a big group, I was super freaked out and panicked. Luckily, she held my hand through the process and though I didn't quite get everything right in my order, she did her best to help me make it through.
When I finally got my hands on some of these donuts, I was very pleased. It's the classic donut that you don't find at the fancy bakeries that are doing gourmet donuts these days. These are basic, familiar donuts (not even fancy enough to be spelled 'doughnut'), in varieties like sprinkle, jelly, and cruller (my fave).
Wow, I never thought I'd be going on and on like this about a Dunkin Donuts, but all I can say is I'm grateful and sad at the same time that I don't have one anywhere near me in LA. If I did, I might be a lot happier and a lot fatter right now!
