Daylight Donuts

After years of driving by this place, I finally decided to try The Dunkin Donuts of the Southern Midwest.
Maybe it was because I went around late morning, but the donuts were mediocre. Having grown up eating Dunkin Donuts could also be to blame, but every donut was greasy and tasted incredibly fake. The Boston cream was the worst attempt I’ve tried. The filling was basically cheap vanilla pudding. The regular glazed donuts weren’t too bad, but Dunkin or even Krispy Kreme is better.
And I was utterly shocked at how much they charged for a dozen; $ 12+ w/​tax, when Dunkin is $ 8+. It made me wish there were more Dunkin locations around OKC.
I will definitely not be coming back to this place. Call me a snob, but if you think about it, Dunkin is a global brand, and Daylight is only in a certain region of the United States. That speaks for itself.

Four stars, mostly for nostalgia’s sake… for being the donuts of my childhood. For being the same light and sugary donuts of days gone by. I don’t really think this is anything you eat because it is just so good, but because these are the donuts your dad brought home on Saturday mornings, so they’ll always be special.
There are much more gourmet donuts, with more variety and more novelty, and those have their place too, but for the donuts you grew up on, Daylight holds up really well. I can destroy a dozen donut holes in about 2 minutes, no shame. I’d much rather eat donut holes than any other donut configuration (when talking about these kinds of donuts).
These are the donuts you grab on your way out of town to head to the lake for the weekend, the donuts you take to a neighbor after surgery. They’re not drive-​way-​out-​of-​the-​way to get donuts, they’re just donuts. And when I want this style of donut, these are the ones I want.

I feel a little overzealous giving Daylight Donuts five stars based on the other reviews, but I think Daylight has the best donuts in the city. There was the Krispy Kreme craze, and I know people love their Dunkin’, but I love Daylight’s donuts. Light, fluffy, sweet and cheap. Everything a donut should be. Also as Jenn S. mentioned, donuts are such an easy and inexpensive treat to bring to the office in the morning. I think a dozen donuts here is $ 6.99 — definitely worth perking people up in the morning. I can always get in and out of here within probably a minute or so. Very quick, friendly and delicious!

Stale donuts…
It looks like a donut, but it tastes like left over gas station donuts. But, there are several stale donuts to choose from.

Decent place for a doughnut (yes DOUGHnut, you heathens). It has a small frame of being open daily, so it seems to be busy moat of the time. When I went the other day, there wasn’t a wait, but there were quite a few people sitting down and eating/​drinking.

i frequently pick up donuts here on my way to work for several reasons.
1. the people who work there are always, always welcoming and inviting and meet every customer with a smile. for a crew who sits and waits as individuals determine which sweets they’ll indulge in, i’d assume it takes quite a bit of patience. not to mention, myself included, a lot of people probably aren’t the most chipper before their coffee. a smiling face and sweet treat is an excellent start to any day.
2. the donuts are fresh and creative. and delish!
3. donuts make everyone happy. i dare you to bring a dozen to work and count the smiles.
4. it’s an inexpensive ($ 10 for a dozen and coffee) way to treat yourself, your co-​workers, or your family.
5. donuts are meant to be shared!
this particular shop has free wi-​fi, a big-​screen tv and a not-​so-​terrible daily brew.
