Ah, well I was misinformed, thanks. Someone told me that and I had also remembered the Reddit post about it so coupled with the experience of the donuts tasting less magical the last few times I’ve stopped by I assumed it was truth.

They’ve always been more “for show” and “let us plop something on top and call it a fancy name”.

I agree with this completely. They were "better" a while ago but they were never as great as people seemed to think they were.

They've definitely never been worth lining up around the block for. Like...what are you doing with your lives, people?!

The dumb thing about this is that it wasn’t a large number of people - their service was just slow AF. If you were 10th in line it would legit take 20 minutes to be helped. They finally have quasi embraced preorder so the line is less of a thing.

This. Not to mention they create a huge mess around the shop. From the people that go there that don't know how to park/don't park in a crosswalk to the amount of garbage left around the shop itself as they refuse to provide a garbage can. When they do a donut/donut hole with one of those pipettes they are littered around up and down Wickenden and Ives. They also refuse to clear the sidewalks during snowstorms except for a small spot in front of their door.
