hmm well this blog is interesting
1st I found out that DD is affordable and not a rip-off like other cafe’s
2nd bout how people come to q8 for the money and say it sucks… to be honest the ppl really need to treat Asians like humans, I’m a student and i have seen so many incidents where Kuwaitis have abused Indians and Filipinos or any other Asians just read the news paper sometime then talk about “treating us like like shit”

I saw Mark and Nat there on the day of the opening and they actually had seats!! What time did you get there buoy???? Opening Day was too crowded for me. Went to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf instead. I love their cookies, service, ambience, ginseng tea *sigh* yummy.

Went to DD yesterday. The donuts were crap. Yes I got the freebies, so what? Yes I got the free donuts. They were crap too. I wanted good donuts, not massageable freebies and free shit donuts. Gave them the donuts to my friends at work today. The coconut donut was probably the best one there.

It was crowded downstairs. It was empty upstairs. Counter personnel were quite pleasant although they did take a little long getting my order together. The counter needs more cash machines.

The ambience is crap. The colors upstairs are just depressing and the deco way too “symmetric” hmmm “proper”(?). The couches look so sad sitting there in that terribly lit room. There’s barely space to walk between tables upstairs. Whoever did the design (not Dahan), lighting *puke* and furnishing did a horrendous job. The flushes in the ladies’ room didn’t work as per the observation of a friend of mine. Someone probably ate too many donuts and dropped the mother of all donuts in there. The mens’ room was filthy. Someone tried to paint the wall with his paintbrushpenis. I didn’t dare touch the flush.

My advice? If you want decent donuts, deal with the non-smiling old filipino lady at Planet Donut.

I’ll give DD one year before they down their shutters in that location.

My two cents.

Hmmm…I’m off to test out these donuts. I think the last donut I ate was about 14 years ago or something…

THERE IS NO WHERE IN THIS WORLD THAT IS PERFECT. I AM KUWAITI AND ANYONE FORIEGN WHO IS LIVING IN KUWAIT I HAV ONE THING TO SAY, WHETHER U LIKE IT HERE OR NOT : 7AYAKOM ! WHICH MEANS WELCOME IN ARABIC.

Suddenly everone started talking about kuwait and how they hate it. But its not really that bad. And if it is you just gotta ignore all these things and live with it. i respect all ur opinions and i respect marks opinions cuz he never said anything unrespectful. Everyone has a different view so just respect eachothers opinions and stop it..

What is going on here? Its just as a !@#$% opinion !
That Kuwaiti prick that talks as if he just landed on the moon is a very good example of why Kuwait sucks! I am Kuwaiti and could walk around and say it in a very loud voice, because if there is someone that needs to be kicked out its that idiot!! I have many expat friends and its just shocking to listen to what happens to them while dealing with Kuwaitis. I largely lay blame on the government that taught people that whatever you do you will still get a job (on paper) and receive a salary regardless of what you do. It is called mass political drugging. We have expats working here because some lazy ass Kuwaiti can’t do the job! Who builds houses, buildings roads, etc? Yeah I think you know that without them we would be living in tents.

Anyhow I think DD is great, Krispy Kreme is really overrated, its only when you eat it real fresh that gives it that oomph. I’ve been to KK several times in the US and its usually me standing in line and an old lady holding a cane. So whatever makes you happy go for it.

I’m Kuwaiti, I don’t like Arabic music, shall I leave Kuwait too? There are so many ignorant pricks it makes me sad.

The guy is giving a review of his opinions, if you don’t like it F-Off and don’t visit it.

Moey fyi, design was NOT done by Dahan. Dahan executes only, it is not a design house.

FYI- 70% of DD’s sale come from the coffee, this is reflected on how in the states DD’s are always packed w ppl drinking their coffee as opposed as to really going there for the donuts. I know since I am an avid donut lover and coffee aficionado, also DD started in New England, which is were I studied (Boston) On the other hand KK is truly a donut chain that only offers donuts, which are good, but after comparing them to Go Nnts Donuts and their wide array of flavors, I must admit, KK has lost its cup..In a nutshell, comepetition and awareness are good for the three brands, each have their own competitive edge, so lets see…

[...] Dunkin Donuts finally openned 11 stores in Kuwait, I went to the Salmiya branch the other day for the 4th time, and I have to say it.. the donuts are impressive, they taste so good, freshly baked, and also a nice variety.. not to mention that the most wanted one is the coconut since that It’s always sold out.. except when I first came in the opening day. they also give free mugs and when you order 7 donuts, you get 5 free which makes it a dozen for 2.500 KD (great deal for such things in Kuwait ~ 6 JD approx.) and they give you a pack of donut holes (also flavored) for an extra 500 fils.. I enjoyed the donuts, they weren’t heavy and they don’t have this weird taste that other shops have in their mix which makes your tonuge like sour after swallowing the bite.. also the shop’s design is cool, done by Dahan and the workers are friendly, mostly philippinos (much better than other nationalities, not mentioning because this post is not going to be an another racisim post). the negative part is that they only have Pepsi in cans (Mark also hates that), yes.. no machine, they open from 7am to 1am on weekends. and 12pm on regular days, while mark posted about the place being packed with kids, well last night there wene’t any kids there.. it might be coincidence.. not sure, the price for a donut is 350fils, but If you get 2 donuts, you get the 3rd free and that’s for 700 fils, great deal. Definitely going back again, and waiting for their new drinks as promised.. [...]

WOW!
Wtf is going on here?
arabic musics sucks ass nowadays, Mark doesn’t like it.. it’s his own freakin fucking opinion! i think rap music was made for black people, that’s my own opinion.. and it’s up to me, and again this is his personal blog Mr i-call-myself-kuwaiti and you’re attitude is not nice because your people do not get kicked out in our country so either shut it up and stuff it with a sweet donut from DD which in my opinion is nothing compared to dubai’s or lebanon (achraifeh where i lived), or “el bab byousa3 jamal” there are like 5685685685 websites on the internet check a porn site a7sanlik
