Winchell's Donuts

Winchell's is a chain (apparently, although I have never seen another one). We went to the one on 45th N in Wallingford.



She said:
I had a horrible experience. The only reason I chose to go to this place (since I do not eat donuts) was because I heard they had breakfast sandwiches. So, I ordered an egg and cheese bagel sandwich, and the lady said "do you mind if I take the meat off of one?" I was in shock, so I uttered something like "that's fine." Then I watched her (in horror) go over to a fridge, remove a plastic container, open it, pull the "meat" off it, put it in the microwave, and put the "meat" back in another fridge. I ordered a coffee with my sandwich. The coffee was God-awful and my sandwich was worse. It tasted like rubber and fake cheese. The coffee tasted like water with a hint of caffeine in it. I hated this place (of course I didn't have any donuts) and I never want to go back. F.


He said: I had a blueberry fritter and a chocolate donut with chocolate icing. Both were delicious. I also had coffee. On the picture above you see a sign proudly proclaiming fresh brewed coffee. If they did in fact have fresh brewed coffee they did not give it to me. Half the reason to go to a donut place is for the coffee, something that Dunkin' Donuts figured out a long time ago. The donuts get a B and the coffee gets an F, averaging these gives Winchell's a C- overall. Only go here if you plan on getting only donuts and then stopping at Tully's for a decent cup of coffee afterward.
