Three men tried to steal some dough from a Dunkin' Donuts in Hyannis on Wednesday night and ended up with a bag of donuts. The masked men were armed with two knives and a hatchet and struck after closing and behind the restaurant. Police said the suspects believed one employee was carrying money in a donut bag and never checked after taking the bag and fleeing. Police used video surveillance and witness reports to track the men. The three suspects may be linked to two similar robberies last week at Domino's Pizza and Blanchard's liquors. The men will be charged with armed robbery while masked for the Dunkin' Donuts job, and possibly the other robberies.

Tuesday was a bad day to visit the Dunkin' Donuts at 59 Causeway St. An unidentified man in a white and yellow striped shirt robbed that establishment with a gun. He reached into the register aftering ordering a clerk to open it. We had to wonder if he checked with the Boston Globe's Dunkin' Donuts map before stopping on Causeway St. Boston Police can be reached at 617-343-4572. Okay. We'll say it. He found a cop-less Dunkin' Donuts to hold up. You were thinking it.
Most of us probably bought a hot beverage today as temperatures cooled in the Hub. It was probably coffee and likely came from Dunkin' Donuts, or possibly Starbucks. Despite what the Boston Globe thinks, finding a franchise from either brand doesn't require a map. Yes, they made up a map when all you need to find a Dunkin' Donuts or Starbucks is a pulse and eyes. Hey, at least the Globe is trying to help coffee lovers, right? In their own Globey way. Most of the Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks are located east of Worcester - no surprise. Dunkin' Donuts outnumbers Starbucks by a lot, which isn't news. You can also vote for your favorite chain. Bostonist didn't vote. We made our own coffee. :-)

Dunkin Donuts came out on top in the Brandkeys 2010 Customer Loyalty Engagement Index for coffee, beating out Starbucks and McDonald's java. Sam Adams came in second only to Budweiser in the beer category... but Walmart, McDonald's, IHOP and Domino's also won their respective categories, possibly raising questions about the taste level of these customers. The index is based on psychological assessments of consumer's beliefs about brands, as well as direct ratings. Blogs have not yet made the brand loyalty list. [Brandkeys]
We've had scallion pancakes, but never kimchi donuts. Serious Eats brings a tale (and a picture) of kimchi donuts (technically croquettes) at a Dunkin in South Korea. Dunkin apparently also has yogurt- and soy-filled treats abroad. Have you seen any weird Dunkin items in your travels?
