My friend is studying in Florida. His dad buys the donuts, puts them in foodsaver bags, and ships them down there. I hear the honey dipped ones loose their texture completely, but the taste is still delicious!

It's not the barista that makes Starbucks coffee so 'burnt' tasting...because their espresso drinks are usually fine. It's the actual coffee (the drip stuff) that's gross. I've gotten it as a gift, and it's just as gross when I make it at home.
DD coffee is just plain old smooth coffee. It's got a good flavor, but it's nothing fancy at all. Perfect for those days that you really do need your coffee by your side all day long.
It also makes AWESOME iced coffee. Plus, their donuts are WAY better than Krispy Kreme. KK's are too sweet and greasy for my tastes.

What kind of rack is that? It doesn't look like the bikes are locked in place; is that true?
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

most of the bikes are not locked because our building is secure. but if you look carefully there is a double bar next to each bike which you can lock it to.

Those racks are really cool. I think it's awesome that they're filled up. (It almost looks like an art exhibit.
)
Ladyrunner, your bike looks like so much fun to ride. Love the basket!

Wow! That's impressive! Is that all biking, or a hybrid commute? Originally Posted by mimitabby

Mimitabby, that is AWESOME!!! Nice work!
It reminded me of the Coolest Office Ever and what they did with their bike storage room.
-- gnat! (If I can't have that room, how about the one with the octopus couch, then?)

nice RACK!
Mimi if you were trying to make me jealous it worked!!!! I love that rack. I love the fact you have a rack indoors that you can put your bikes in. I wonder if other places are going to catch on. The place I am consulting at right now was 'contemplating' showers for their renovation but it got canned. Oh please. A cubicle size shower room. What could it hurt? There is a guy that used to run at lunch. He would shower in the woods with a 'camp shower'. No. We won't be doing that.
No, you don't don't drink the drip coffee at crackbuks. Only the latte or capp for me. Beyond that it turns into Dairy Queen with all the whipped stuff and syrup.
You know what cracks me up? People that think there are no calories in that stuff. I was reading this one website where this woman said "I had no idea it had 600 calories" about one of the whipped cream extravaganzas. Uh. Whipped Cream. Caramel? No? hahaha...
I just can't deal with DD because when I go in there I want to give all those lonely donuts a home. SOOO LONELY.
Can't you get the coffee in the store? They sell DD coffee in some of the grocery stores out west, I believe I saw it in Safeway. There is are not many DD out west. I think there's like 10 in CA!
And where can I find a cup holder for my bike? Seriously, there was a guy at a bikeshop in Tahoe that had one. Now I have a need. And a hamburger bell.

We do have the coffee in a few stores here, but its not the same. Maybe its the styrofoam cups (i know, horrible for the planet) or maybe the crack they put in, but ya hafta get the stuff from a DD. Originally Posted by TahoeDirtGirl

I'm sooo sad I don't have my newest commuter built up yet. She's a sexxxy steel dark green Soma double cross and will have moustache bars, brooks saddle, drive train from my old univega carbolite... I will bump this thread and post a pic when she's alive. For now I ride a trek 7.5fx disc (aka the cop bike). she gets the job done.
