Staff Editor Dunkin’ Doughnuts Ranked: From Worst to Best
In a recent taste test, food critic Ted Berg embarked on a mission to rank Dunkin’ doughnuts from worst to best. The comprehensive evaluation included 16 different doughnuts, offering a wide range of flavors and textures.
At the bottom of the list, the Glazed-Blueberry Doughnut received harsh criticism for its artificial taste and unpleasant aftertaste. Following closely was the Apple-Crumb Doughnut, which was deemed too sweet with a filling reminiscent of fast-food apple pie. The Vanilla-Creme Doughnut, described as tasting like a powdered Twinkie, rounded out the least favorite selections.
Among the frosted doughnuts with sprinkles, the Strawberry-Frosted variety ranked lowest, failing to impress even younger consumers. The Vanilla-Frosted Doughnut was criticized for its lack of flavor and excessive sweetness, while the Chocolate-Frosted option emerged as the favorite in this category, praised for its distinctive cocoa flavor.
Limited-edition and specialty doughnuts received mixed reviews. The S’mores Doughnut, despite its innovative concept, fell short in execution. However, the Coconut Doughnut surprised with its mild flavor and interesting texture. The Jelly Doughnut and Bavarian-Kreme Doughnut both earned positive remarks for their balanced flavors and textures.
Chocolate-based offerings saw varied results. The Double-Chocolate Doughnut was deemed unnecessarily sweet, while the Boston-Kreme Doughnut maintained its popularity among both adults and children.
Classic and simple doughnuts performed well in the rankings. The Powdered Doughnut and Old-Fashioned Doughnut were praised for their nostalgic appeal and coffee-dipping suitability. The Glazed Doughnut impressed with its perfect balance of sweetness and texture.
Topping the list as the favorite was the Glazed-Chocolate Doughnut. Its mild cocoa flavor, hearty texture, and well-balanced sweetness made it the standout choice, confirming years of doughnut-eating experience.
This comprehensive ranking provides valuable insights for Dunkin’ enthusiasts, helping them navigate the diverse menu with confidence in their next doughnut selection.
