| - I've had Joe's Doughs on multiple occasions, this just happened to be my first time checking out their new digs.
I had a free Saturday afternoon and decided it was a good time, albeit a little risky, to drop by. I considered it a little risky because I came twenty minutes before closing and fully expected them to tell me that they were out of doughnuts or at least only had one to choose from. I was pleasantly surprised that was not the case. I walked right up to the counter (no line!) and then had to deal with making a decision. Options available at that time were the espresso cake, vanilla glazed, everything, lemon blueberry, goat cheese strawberry balsamic, maple bacon, and the sprinkle.
I hemmed and hawed for a moment and decided to go with the everything and lemon blueberry. The lemon blueberry was their featured doughnut that day. The decision wasn't all that hard considering I had previously tried all but three. Both doughnuts rang up to a total of $5.41.
Of the two that I got that day, the lemon blueberry was hands down my favorite. It had a blueberry filling and lemon icing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Sweet but not too sticky sweet. That's another reason why I like Joe's because they are creative with flavor pairings and also not afraid to heavily feature savory options. The everything doughnut tasted exactly like an everything bagel, it wasn't bad but it's definitely not anything I would order again.
My absolute favorite (as of right now) is the peanut butter smore. Light, fluffy, filled with marshmallow - I mean what more could you ask for? (other than a stack of napkins because it gets messy). I've also had the ever-popular maple bacon which is a good, solid choice but I feel like that flavor combo is a little overdone. The vanilla glazed is simple and sweet, good for someone who isn't completely crazy for doughnuts.
The fact that they are always coming up with new flavors makes it easy for this doughnut lover to keep coming back.
