They are few and that makes donut eating a rare event in my family. The ONLY donut shops worth visiting are the small locally owned, bake on the premises, the way it used to be, donut shops.

Don't recall much about the donuts. Do remember their thimble-sized ""small" coffee. I tend to agree with Adam that Honey Dew stands more to loose if TH should muscle into New England.

Doughnut shops are not in competition with Dunks as much as coffee shops would be. Although Dunkin Donuts’ name implies that they are the go-to spot for doughnuts, most people go there for coffee.

Better coffee and maple frosted donuts? Sign me up for that! I try to hit up the Tim's in CT or RI whenever I swing through; however, I was in NYC this weekend and got to try out the Tim Horton's on 34th and 7th. Whoa boy was it terrible! The 2 employees couldn't even get an ice coffee made and once I got it it was pretty weak. Plus, very limited selection of other things. I'm all for Tim Horton's expanding, but don't sacrifice quality to do it. I love Tim Horton’s much more than Dunkin’ Donuts. Better coffee and maple frosted donuts? Sign me up for that!

But Tim Hortons seems more like a direct DD competitor - still, if they tried to move here en masse (they actually have a ton of stores around Providence), I bet the only people who would get hurt would be Honey Dew.

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised and found the quality of their baked goods well above that of DD's. Their coffee was better as well, but not quite as high octane as I generally like.

When I drink coffee I want 'real' coffee and not something with a cute name and can not be identified as coffee by taste or looks! Not being a police officer or fat, I don’t eat donuts.
