According to Eater, at the Seoul location there is a two-doughnut limit for customers buying the crossiant-doughnut hybrid. While the "New York Pie Donut" would likely take off in the U.S., Dunkin' Donuts has so far made no announcements that it will bring the doughnut to the States.
The version in the Philippines, which is only available in select Manilla outposts, is slightly different than the Dunkin' Donuts New York Pie Donut in Korea. Called "Donut Croissant," it comes topped with either powdered sugar or with chocolate icing covered in almond slivers. At Dominique Ansel in New York City the Cronut™ is sold for $5 and will also cost you a night's sleep as you wait in the long line. In the Philippines you can purchase the Dunkin' version for just 75 Philippine pesos, or roughly $1.73.
Do you want Dunkin' Donuts to release the "New York Pie Donut" in the U.S.? Do you think it's fair for the chain to knock off the Cronut™?
