  • THINK OUTSIDE THE PINK BOX! Which is exactly what these guys have done. Pink Box is not your average donut shop. What's unique about it you ask? Pink Box is going for the WOW factor...something different....something to get people talkin. Which if you haven't heard the buzz by now then you don't get out much. We all know the new "dessert with bacon" craze and the extreme cooking shows that like to shock you with unique and crazy ingredient combinations that you wouldn't see everyday. This is right down the same line of cooking craziness. Speaking of cooking shows, did you know that Pink Box was featured in "Roadtrip with G. Garvin" on the Cooking Channel? I think it was a small kick-start to the madness. Quite impressive I must say....you should check it out. ;) So I was asked to bring a dessert to a get-together. I'm always the overachiever that wants to figure something thats new to everyone with a goodness to leave a "mad at it" (but in a good way) impression on everyone. As I think about what I want to do I remember a few recent Yelp reviews that I had read recently. How could it be any perfect on the overachievement level??? First off I decide to check them out online. They have an "order online" option. Perfect because I was at work and it was totally convenient and fast. I put all my info in and it thanked me for my order. I stated that I will be picking up around 1pm while I was on my lunch. IF ONLY this system worked....read on... When I walk up you could smell a delicious sweetness in the air. There was a sign blowing in the wind above the door stating that its now opened 24 hours on the weekend. I guess there is a need? For your drunken satisfaction? I'm gonna have to do a drive by in the middle of the night. There might be a party going on at 2am that we don't know about! When I walk in there are 3 people already in line. The place is not that big so it filled up pretty quick. There were employees in the back talking and laughing. I kept hoping that one of them would come up and help the poor guy trying to assist everyone considering I was on my lunch and drove way out of my way to get there. Finally after the few people funneled out it was my turn. Mind you at this point there was already a line behind me. I let him know I ordered ahead online. He sifted through all these papers and mentioned that his boss didn't give him any order for me. Party FAIL...so much for convenience! SO starting from scratch I made my random selections. I also ordered two extra to bring to my boss hoping he might let me off early. hehe...no such luck. The guy was super nice and helpful. He rang me up for a dozen and gave me the two extras for free for the trouble of not having my order. The total was something like $8.50. I had thought on the website it would be $12 something. Oh well I wasn't going to ask. So I get my pink box of heaven in the car and notice the grease or icing or something seeping through the box. I opened the box and the donuts were all over the place just thrown in the box. I counted 11 donuts. Hm I could have sworn a dozen means 12. Scratching my head. Oh well whatever as I roll my eyes. This only happens to me. I. swear. Now I went for a variety of everything with intention that we would cut them up eventually so everyone could try a bite of each. The maple bacon and the nutty pig were among the favorites by far. They have all kinds of regular donuts along with their specialty kinds putting a little love in each one. The nutty pig has bacon and blue cheese on it. There was barely any blue cheese but those who ate it loved it. Some of the doughnuts are topped with cereal...captain crunch, fruity pebbles etc. Kids would be in heaven. Anyways, overall and not really being a sweets person I wasn't overly impressed. I do love the concept and I will for sure return for 1 or another dozen (TWELVE) to take to a get together. Personally I can just stick to the regular glaze doughnut with rainbow sprinkles. I do recommend them to put wax paper underneath so they don't soak through the box....or they may have to change their name to Soggy Box Doughnuts! Werrrrd. =P
