| - so reading the reviews for this shop, I was expecting some deliciousness, some extraordinary, some awesomeness and all I got was another "wtf" moment, and a feeling of "should I call and complain and ask for my money back"...I mean, I dropped $25 for 8 donuts...ya let's get to the review...
so I found myself in the downtown area recently, and remember hearing about a donut that crunched on top, looked it up and was happy it was there. so I drove over to the spot in downtown, and checked it out.
walked into the shop, it's small, narrow, but it gets right to the point. the display of donuts was very nice. they all look delicious, and in my mind I was excited to finally try the assortment I was putting together. I went for 2 of the creme brulee donuts, one that I think had a velvet cake inside, one of the poptart donuts, a white sprinkle, and a chocolate top one and some others. total was $25 (price shock hits, it's donuts!!) but ok I paid it, drove home and dove in with wifey. this is where it just went wrong.
now, I usually don't take photos, but recently I have been of the meals and stuff I'm eating or places I'm going to, and this place got the picture...
every single donut we ate was dry. they were all over cooked I guess. the batter used had no flavor or sweetness. the flavors were not there, it was like trying to enjoy it but not...I only took a bite or 2 of each donut and trashed it. throughout the day just picked at them all. when I got the one that crunches, the creme brulee one, I was just SO let down. the taste was honestly gross. that mixture of the crunch on the top of your mouth, then mixing it with a soft/dry donut that has no flavor was just really gross. and I'm not picky, especially when it comes to what should have been sweet and delicious, was a major fail.
again, every donut was dry, and they all had no flavor or bland flavoring. even the pop tart donut was a bust. the cake mix they use is just no good. I don't know if it was that day or what, but no go for me.
now, I've tried pink box donuts which was ok. the only donut shop here in town that seems to be excellent every time is Winchells on Meadows Lane with the subway. that place is 5 star superb.
I understand though, this donut bar place, it made it on tv or whatever, and people want to see it, but all these 5 star reviews is just not possible if it's consistently like my experience when quality comes in. check out my photos...you'll see what I mean.
