  • The doughnuts leave a lot to be desired. Before I put it to rest, I'll definitely try the fried chicken but I wasn't impressed. It's a lot of style, very little substance. The place is cute, all turquoise and the servers are all kitted out with little paper hats and white aprons, like old soda shop servers. The branding is fantastic. Oh that the food tasted as good! The outfit is small, one lady takes your order and two other people behind the small counter grab your doughnuts (from a rolling rack) and your chicken (from some kind of oven/holding device). Even though all the food is prepared and ready to go, it takes a loooong time to get it. I went 4 days after they had opened though, so I'll forgive them as they iron out the kinks. Of the 6 kinds of doughnuts offered, we got 5 (they were sold out of the strawberry jammies). Blueberry balsamic, root beer float, mango-yuzu, and the D'oreo. Now this is where things start to go awry: ALL THE DOUGHNUTS ARE THE SAME CAKE BASE AND THE ONLY FLAVOUR DIFFERENTIAL IS THE GLAZE! Now, if any of you have ever been to Doughnut Plant, you know that they do cake AND yeasted doughnuts and the glazes, cake doughnuts, and the fillings differ, offering different flavour profiles and experiences. Not so Paulette's. It's all the same nutmeg-flavoured white cake doughnut base. The doughnut itself is nice - tender, good crumb, nice amount of nutmeg. But it's not $2.75 nice (the size is the same as a Timmy Ho's). Then they make the criminal mistake of DOUSING the doughnut in saccarine, unbalanced, and one-note glazes. So yes, the Root Beer Float doughnut tastes like a root beer float, but do I want that in a doughnut? I'm not sure. The mango yuzu tastes (and I lOVE yuzu) tastes like the concentrated mango puree straight outta the package with barely any hints of yuzu. The D'Oreo one actually didn't taste at all like an oreo - the flavour was really muted. The best one was by far the blueberry balsamic - it wasn't too sweet and the balsamic acidity cut through and allowed the other flavours to shine. That was the only doughnut where I could eat the whole thing. Everything else, I took one bite and had to put it down. I'll reserve judgement until I try their fried chicken, but since they only do two things, the fact that one of those things was disappointing doesn't bode well.
