Dippin Donuts — Restaurant in City of Rome

Admire Dippin Donuts. Love the ole Veterans that tend to sit and just have a discussion about anything. Lots of talk about politics both national, international, and local. Dippin Donuts, is just the complete opposite of what the "Other," brand name donut business is. Have been in that other business, which is right next door to Dippin Donuts. Coffee is boiling hot. Taste like kerosine. And the staff of that other business, tend to ignore customers at the counter, concentrating on the drive-thru. Very rude. And the donuts of that other business, are horrible. Usually made hours in advance prior to opening. Some are a day or two old. Dipping Donuts: Always very fresh. And the bagle/muffin breakfast sandwiches are superb. Coffee, is perfect. Taste great, and perks-me-up, every morning. Too many Americans, are always infatuated with big brand names. Guess they feel special spending lots-of-money, for those brands that are in every town, city, village. Well, all you're paying for is the name on the cup and the wrapper. Doesn't mean it's better. Ya want something better? Then stop-in to Dippin Donuts. It's...

The donuts are good. Some are a little too much sugar for me, but that's just my taste. They seem to run out early, particularly at the remote locations. I guess that's the don't business, but I work nights and it would be nice to be able to go in and reliably get a snack in the evening.

My biggest issue though is that the political atmosphere makes me feel petty unwelcome. I don't particularly care about left, right, whatever. But when I'm going to get a snack and I just want to breath, the last thing I want to do is be surrounded by political messaging. I'm not even saying I disagree with the message entitely. I'm just so tired of the insane state of the world, and that's not at all what I'm trying to get into while I'm eating donuts. It's just strange that it even has to be said really... Why alienate more than half of your customer base like that? Odd decision...

The donuts are...

The service was spectacular, according to my aunt, when she ordered the donut holes and mocha coffee. The ambiance is very cute and chill. Definitely a genuine and nice place. We ordered the chocolate, blueberry, and plain glazed donut holes. I enjoyed all of them equally. Although, I will have to agree the blueberry glaze was the best, haha. Another cousin felt the chocolate was a delight. Then another enjoyed the plain glaze. All the donut holes were fluffy, moist, buttery, and had so much flavor. The coffee was not bad, then again, the coffee was not for me. The coffee was my aunt's go-to. She loved her regular go-to coffee order. You probably could find or customize a coffee to your liking. Overall, my family and I were...
