I've already made it plain that I like coffee. In the US, coffee and donuts (doughnuts for you purists) go together like white on rice or ugly on an ape. It's not quite like that for Filipinos in the Philippines, but it is for Americans like me. What's even better than a cup of coffee and donut? A cup of coffee and a coffee cake donut!
Dunkin' Donuts in the Olongapo City Mall
I make it a point to avoid coffee and donut shops in the city. It's really pretty easy to do since parking next to one is nearly impossible. There are numerous "Mr. Donut" and "Dunkin' Donut" coffee and donut shops throughout the city.
I was walking through the Olongapo City Mall a week or so ago, looking for the ATM. The sign on the ATM said "Out of Funds" and I thought that was that and I was ready to head out. Lo and behold, a Dunkin' Donuts shop was between me and the exit. Not really, but I spotted it nevertheless while en route to the exit.
One of my brothers-in-law was eyeballing the place, so I had him accompany me inside the shop. I was immediately overwhelmed by the smell of fresh-brewed coffee and the sweet odor of freshly-baked donuts. I ordered a dozen of the "coffee cake" donuts, paid for them, and then hurriedly headed out the door before ordering something else. I can't drink coffee while driving in the demolition derby known as downtown Olongapo City anyway.
Coffee Donuts and Coffee Cake
I need "fat pills" called "donuts" like I need a hole in my head. I rarely eat sweets (other than coffee candy) of any kind, so treating myself to donuts is an extremely rare event.
The "coffee cake" donuts taste almost exactly like coffee cake would. In years past, I had plenty of opportunities to sample coffee cake and when I say the taste is almost the same, I mean it.
Unlike relatives of mine (on both mine and my wife's side), I don't like most types of cake. I always avoid the cakes that everyone else seems to like. I like coffee cake and pineapple upside-down cake and that's about it.
Now that I've found out that Dunkin' Donuts carries coffee cake donuts, I may have an extremely difficult time avoiding those coffee and donut shops.
