Mediocre/ bad Doughnuts need to be eaten fresh. Can't compare a bad donut that is fresh or to a good doughnut , a few hours old.

So a good doughnut that is a few hours old can be compared to a good doughnut that is fresh?

It was rhetorical. ;D The answer is no also. You may be right that bad doughnuts have a bigger dropoff when they're not fresh than good ones, but the gap is really big no matter what.

Yes, the dough is good, but the sheer chutzpah of selling a $5 "Lemon Meringue" donut that has no meringue and has canned lemon pie filling boggles my mind.

And don't get me started on the pistachio.
Yes the pistachio isn't good at all, not sure why they don't change that

On the contrary! The cheap donuts have a shelf life, because they come pre-packaged and by law need a sell by date. Which is March of the following year, at least on the ones in Osher Ad. Someone got us a box but DW was grossed out by the sell date and we just gave em away sealed. A good move IMHO.

Yes, but if you want something specific (especially Apple Fritter), best to call the day before and order it.

In general, the earlier in the day you go, the widest selection they'll have and the fresher the donuts will be. By evening they turn into pumpkins.
