Put that bad boy (Top Pot donut) in the microwave for 15 seconds and it’ll be almost good as new. Is this importing of Top Pot donuts a permanent thing?

too funny, indeed. That’s the very same ‘bucks. I, too, vastly prefer Peet’s, but there isn’t one close. (The faux Peet’s in Bristol Farms is only a small quality step above the so-called Peet’s at SFO. Blech.) Glad I don’t drink coffee often or I’d be grumpy(er) about it.

That’s so funny. I NEVER eat donuts but believe it or not, I was hungry after the Fancy Food Show (I can only eat so many cheese straws) and stopped in the Starbucks at the 5th & Mission garage. The food all looked putrid and overpriced so I went for a glazed old fashioned, just as you have pictured. It was ok. I also seem to be around a lot of Peets and was kind of horrified to drink the Starbucks brew which tasted like really hot water.

I actually *did* know that. As I recall, it was intentional — it’s a 20oz cup. How I retain all this useless info, I’ll never know.

Did you know that Venti means 20 in Italian? Makes me laugh everytime i hear someone order it.

The doughnut is stale. Sigh. Oh well… another reason to go back to Seattle soon.
