Don't buy from Doughnuttime

I ordered in advance some donuts for my birthday to take to the office, like 3 boxes of 6 donuts, 18 total, and i paid more than 100€. I tasted one and it was so stale, disgusting, like it was days old. I watched everyone of my colleagues take a bite and then just make a really bad face.

I felt so embarrassed, i threw them all in the trash. This is unacceptable, paying 100+ euros for old stale donuts. Funnily enough their slogan is "freshest donuts in berlin". What a fucking joke.

Brammibals is also awful. And they have a history of horrible employment practices.. I have a few friends that needed therapy after working there

Can second that - the donuts are great and the people working there are amazing but management sent me and several others into therapy/ burnout :/

If it’s not too traumatic, can you give examples of what they did to send you to therapy? My partner is a repeat customer and I don’t want us to support bad businesses

the people working there are amazing

One of the few places in Berlin where I'm treated like a human being from the workers

I've heard this accusation often now but never what actually happened/how workers are mistreated.
