Packed house on a Saturday morning - large families taking up limited space. I asked the cashier for her recommendation of the Chorizo sandwich. She said it was her "favorite" so I gave it a try. Worse chorizo I've ever had - tasted like powdered meat from Taco Bell thrown on an everything bagel.
The cashier also spelled my name "Brent" as "Pred", which was then called out as "Pedro" and "Peter" when my order was ready.
After getting home, taking 2 bites of the Chorizo then making a three pointer into the trash can with it, I pull out my backup "safety" donuts to find she messed that up too!! I reach for my first choice, maple bar, and there's no maple bar to be found. A chocolate bar, but no maple. Wah wah wah....
Needless to say I will never waste $11.00 for a coffee and two correct donuts again. Sad day for Winchell's. Been going to Winchell's since I was a...

ie: ham y cheese croissant, no cheese or croissant Chi vanilla latte....out Macchiato....no Expresso Only doughnuts out on display sitting on parchment paper on the back counter (5 glazed that's it) Egg, cheese y sausage sandwich...I got it but the sausage was bad and it had a vile taste like it was rancid, left unrefrigerated or extremely old.
This was the very first time ever I've experienced such disgust walking into a Winchell's. I went 2 blocks down to Dunkin left happy.
everything I attempted to order he didn't have or refused to make....
