| - Jelly Modern Doughnuts is the latest gourmet doughnut bakery café to open in Toronto.
Located on College Street and bordering Kensington Market, JMD is easily accessible via the 506 College-High Park streetcar or a short walk from Bathurst or Spadina streets.
A couple of notes:
1) Doughnuts - they serve a wide variety of doughnuts with some intriguing flavour combinations. We ordered two of the 'gluten sensitive' doughnuts: the maple bacon and the callebaut chocolate doughnuts. Unfortunately, they were packaged in a brown paper bag, and some of the doughnut topping stuck to the inside of the bag.
Upon biting into one of the doughnuts, I was a little surprised at how dense it was. It was a bit of a struggle to eat them, to be honest, due to the density, but I suppose that's to be expected given the gluten-free ingredients. I cannot personally vouch for the tastiness of their regular doughnuts, but I've heard they are delicious. They also offer both small and regular-sized doughnuts, which is a nice touch if you just want to sample a variety of flavours.
Be sure to check out their website menu (http://jellymoderndoughnuts.com/menu/) before visiting them if you are looking to try a particular flavour, however. They bake their doughnuts fresh throughout the day, but they make a different set of doughnuts on each day of the week.
2) Price - it's a bit expensive - a regular doughnut costs $2.75, and a dozen doughnuts will set you back $30 - but nothing out of the ordinary for the gourmet/organic/gluten-free/locally-sourced scene. Certainly more reasonable than Glory Hole Doughnuts on Queen.
3) Service/Ambience - the service was prompt and efficient. The decor is a bit intense with all that hot pink everywhere. But who really cares about that when all you are craving is a tasty doughnut??
Worth a try.
