Here's our latest analysis of this phenomenon. In downtown San Francisco alone, there are 98 marijuana dispensaries, compared to 71 Starbucks Coffee shops:

BTW, the Chronicle has it only at 24 for the whole city (that is pot clubs): http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/cityinsider/logout?blogid=55&entry_id=32650&tsp=1

That, for some reason, seems impossible. There is not a Dunkin Donuts in California.

And with the recent failure of Krispy Kreme, I doubt there will be a rush to open a DD or Tim Horton's.

There are some ghetto donut places, but I don't trust the consistency to get one.

yeah my brother lives in Hollyhood and told me that you guys are deprived of DnD...i couldnt believe it...

california=communist

and no Krispy Kreme either?? what do potheads do at 4am when theyre hungry?

They just closed a few stores, not most of them.

Ther is (was?) a KK down this way, towards LA from my place (Halfway betwixt LA and Bakersfield) and cant beleive it would have failed.

Tim Hortons...good...

 

[IH8Rice]

wtf is Tim Hortons?

 

[Silver]

Tim Hortons...good...

Not anymore. They used to bake things fresh...they changed that about 5 years ago, I think. Now they suck. Their coffee is still crack though...it's not fantastic from a coffee snob standpoint, but they are doing something right with it.

Denny's.


sickening, I know.

Google is your friend.

savages!

so is a shot gun to your temple

 

[sanjuro]

I was never a fan of Krispy Kreme. There is still one in Daly City across the way from an In-N-Out. I had a donut there, eh.

Your true loyalist roots shine through.

That stuff sucks donkey balls as much as their food. Maybe a step above folgers but not much of one.

This is exactly correct. The donuts are reheated frozen jobs now.

Their coffee is fantastic, but don't order the double double. Their idea of 1 unit of sugar is a tad...skewed.

double-doubles are great.....they use too much sugar though? awesome

 

[jimmydean]

I would gladly trade you the KK across the street for a pot house. That would be awesome.

<edit> What SF needs is a Voodoo Donuts satellite location, right next door to the pot houses.

damn, no freshly made donuts every morning?? I feel sorry for you guys up north...

Like I said, it's not up to snuff for a coffee snob (and I am one.)

That's why I can't figure out why I like it.

Reminds me of an Edward Abbey quote, something like "Any town that has more churches than bars has a serious problem"

The reason there are no Dunkins is that most of those ghetto places are AWESOME

Is that the Portland donut joint? My sister has "interesting" things to say about it.

 

[PsychO!1]

Wow.....a pot thread hijacked by donuts.

What are the chances?

Spoken by someone who has never visited Dunkin Donuts.

 

[$tinkle]

DD's coffee is strained through hi-resin ditchweed. but all else under their roof rulez

Bull**** I've never been to Dunkin, there used to be one in concord and I have been to the east coast before. I just think there donuts kind of suck

I lived in Boston and I live in SF. Dunkin is a notch above Safeway, but doesn't compare to any of the local donut shops I've sampled in SF.

And their coffee is good the way a big mac is good. That chemically goodness that makes it easy to drink and makes you want more, but it doesn't actually taste like good coffee.

Canadian genes.


It's the counterpart to the fatass american gene that tells us krispy kreme is food and not the boiled lard that it really is.

I've been to the one on Haight, near the ball park, and a few out in Pleasant Hill.

They all suck.

 

[TheMontashu]

You are tripping dude, donut king is the greatest place ever

Try Happy Donuts - at least the one at 24th and Church that just went under was good... I'm assuming the other locations are consistent. I *think* this is probably the place you tried near the ballpark. Did the place you tried also do fried chicken? Seriously, is there a better 24hour combo than donuts and fried chicken?

Bob's on Polk is good too, but I've only ever eaten them when I was so drunk and hungry that I would've shared a dumpster sandwich with a crack whore, so YMMV

Universal Cafe - you've got to wade through the hipsters for weekend brunch to get to their donuts, but it's almost worth it. Almost.

Haven't tried Dynamo or Allstar.

I don't follow.

explain what you mean by "not."

 

[IH8Rice]

and youre right about that



and you dont have to be a yuppie to drink Dunkin.

Next time I get stoned, I will hit one of these places up.
