  • I have long wanted to try out 'Trou de Beigne' and a recent Yelp event allowed me to visit the facility on a more intimate level. We received a passionate and charismatic presentation by Giuliano, owner of Trou de Beigne. I took the opportunity to order a dozen of his standard donuts because after all... why live to 40? While Giuliano provided us with his presentation he stated something that kind of took me aback... he uses coconut oil to create his renowned donuts. For those of you who regularly eat food with coconut oil or grew up eating it, it shouldn't affect you much (in fact it enhances the flavor) but for me, who rarely indulges on coconut oil, that oil tastes kind-of gross. I consider coconut oil the coriander of oil where for some people it's amaze-balls and for other it feels like they're eating soap/splenda. When I brought my donuts home and had my wife try it, she immediately disliked them after eating 2 half-donuts. She left the rest to me. This never happens. Shes the black hole of all sweets and dessert. I brought the sweet survivors to work the next day and out of the 6 volunteers who helped me finish the box... about half of them loved them and the other half weren't very impressed. Hmmmm. ... interesting social experiment. But how did "I" feel about them? Well, kind of neutral. I took the liberty to try out half of the Bacon/Maple one, Green Tea, Classic, Blizzard and Nutella/Banana. My clear favorite was the Bacon/Maple and surprisingly the Green Tea one. However, the taste of the dough felt was off to me and I'm reasonably sure it's due to the coconut oil. When I asked those at work what made them not enjoy the donut much they all came to the same conclusion without my intervention. That odd taste. In the end, it's a good donut but sadly I don't think it'll be for me except for that rare treat. I consider it more than a donut but rather a pastry made with passion and love by an owner who has worked very hard over the years to accomplish what he has. I wish you the best of luck Giuliano and "a la prossima!"
