An old fashioned plain cake donut and a cup of coffee is good stuff, and doesn't wreck my stomach. Agree that Krispy Kreme is the absolute worst.

Is it wrong that I'm not a coffee drinker? It's ok, I won't turn it down if I'm at someones house for breakfast and they are having it, but it's just not my thing. I like OJ or milk in the morning.

I only drink coffee if I have to wake up before 7am.

If you don't need coffee in the morning for a kick start you might not be drinking enough alcohol at night. Try doubling your alcohol consumption and see if that doesn't fix the problem.

the kolaches at the place on Brentwood are just really not that good. A lump of fried or baked dough with some shtuff in it. And the place has a horrible smell.

I don't really care about donuts either though. Pastries and bagels are where it's at.

Cake donuts are the best. Others are fine, but if I'm ever craving a donut, its cake.

There's a Krispy Kreme right down the street from me, and you can smell the aroma sometimes when walking outside. But if I'm going to get a donut, I go to one of the local bakeries in the city. A few of the old German bakeries have held on here, and they're great. Nord's Bakery in the Schnitzelburg neighborhood in Louisville makes outstanding donuts, and is next door to Sunergo's Coffee, one of the best coffee shops in the city.

EDIT: The best in the city are probably from Bussmann's Bakery in the Clifton neighborhood, should you ever pass through.

Today it was a .99 Med iced coffee with extra cream and a jelly filled from Dunkin'. Killer.
