| - I had heard about this place from a friend, and how Oprah loved their donuts. With that kind of hype, I was definitely intrigued. I got there around 2:30PM and there was plenty of donuts left, which is unlike the kind of experience you would have at Glory Hole, in which their donuts would be sold out by 2-3PM, especially on weekends. The interior of the shop was quite eloquent, with mostly white and fuchsia colour schemes. They sell their own recipes books, along with other little nick-nacks.
They have doughnuts that were available every day, as well as speciality donuts that would rotate through. My friend and I decided to get the maple bacon, chef's choice (some sort of run icing with powdered sugar and blueberries in the middle), and chocolate peanut butter. We got three of the smaller ones, which totalled around $8. Our favourite was the chef's favourite, just because we found that the other two were quite dense. We both agreed that although they were delicious, they were a bit pricey, and were "missing a certain something"...maybe a filling? The topping was great, the dough itself wasn't spectacular.
I probably wouldn't go back just to get donuts, but if I was planning a catered event, the presentation of the donuts is definitely impressive and would create that 'whoa' factor!
