Meh. Damn do I miss Cinnabon. What’s the big deal about Doughnut Plant? I think the donuts are overpriced and bready and the coffee is watery.
The only good thing they have are the salted caramel lattes.

I agree, those salty carmel lattes are good. Although, I do like a good black out doughnut early in the day when they are fresh.
Whenever you stop at that DP, call me! I live upstairs!
Merits: No artificial junk. No eggs. Inventive flavors. Demerits: Unlike in NY, in Korea they aren't baked fresh at each store, so the taste is…well, not fresh.
I've tried nearly every flavor. The best are: black out, cinnamon buns, banana walnut. The absolute worst is the espresso cake doughnut, not too far behind that is the vanilla bean. I agree that they are too bready and totally, I would even say obnoxiously, overpriced …especially since they recently hiked their prices up 300-500 won/each. But for all their faults, I still like they concept of the biz since the parent company is all about all natural and freshness, I just think the stores in Korea are weak.
