| - Everyone is in their pajamas and I say, load up boys! It's Crunchtime! Naturally, they had no idea what I meant and thought we had to rush out the door for something.
We arrived to an empty store. The boys were excited because donuts were the last thing they expected and twas all mommy's idea? Okay, let me add...it was close to bedtime annnnnnnd on a school night. I'm such a rebel. Lol. The casings were certainly not short of donuts. Lots of fun Hollywood inspired names, large menus to the left, and cronuts featuring in their own case, and a topping bar.
We entered with no one to greet us. But, it didn't take long before the owner came out from the back. He seemed friendly, yet, I could tell his mind was running with all kinds of tasks. There were times I coudnt understand what he was saying because he had this sort of rushing mumble. So I pretended I understood the words that was xoming out his mouth. As I ordered everyone's donuts he said, good choice they just got done cooking. But at the point I wasn't sure what donut he was referring to?
We ordered a samoa, sheryl cronut, Brad fritter, Taylor crisp, and a Mike something...which is simply a chocolate cake donut (named after the owner), and a Justin timber glaze which is just a glazed yeast donut. The samoa is what we all know of a samoa in terms of cookies, etc...my husband didn't like it. Absurd as he lovvvves him some samoa and is a coconut enthusiast. He noted a couple times how it kept tasting like a lemon donut and the coconut was more like a mirage in flavor.
My eldest had a Brad fritter which is basically an apple fritter. I picked it up from the box to serve it to him and it was pretty hot. However, hot may seem like a good thing but this was more like heating up an old donut, melting it's glaze, to mask the oldness of it. I picked it up and it was limp in the middle. Then I wondered, is this what he meant by just cooked? Because i'm pretty sure he stepped away to warm it up. I wish he hadn't. It was a terrible idea for that donut. My son said nothing which meant he wasn't thrilled. He will always say something if tis good.
My other son had the Taylor crisp. Vanilla frosted cake donut with cinnamon toast crunch! I love that cereal, so I had to catch a bite. Love the idea but the donut itself was dry.
I had the sheryl cronut, now I'm no cronut connoisseur but this cronut did not disappoint or bum me out. It was a tad sweet for my liking, but I enjoyed it. A cronut with apple filling, vanilla icing, and then topped with more apple. The croissant was not dry, and actually THIS cronut tasted like it was just cooked minus the warmness.
The just timberglaze and the husband's Mike cake donut are the dollar donuts as they are just regular yeast and cake donuts. I wasn't impressed by them and think the cake and yeast donuts from smiths bakery are way better. The hubs enjoyed the chocolate icing, which probably doesn't mean much because he has a chocolate weakness.
None-the-less, it's always fun to have a fun donut shop in this area. I'm always a fan of such spots that make their way on this end. We would certainly come back for a treat, but will probably come earlier in the morning versus later in the night to see if that'll cure our minor gripes.
I thought the inside would feel fresh and rejuvenated since it is occupying what was Tiabi...but, between the wobbly table, seating that doesn't look new, a paint job that seemed rushed to me, it didnt. It actually felt like it has been there much longer than Tiabi was.
Patio seating available but beware because when we were there the trash outside was overflowing, is located right near the entrance, so if you're enjoying the outdoor and the garbage is flowing out, you may feel torn between the bite of sweetness from your donut and the bite of funk making its way to your nose.
Anyway, definitely kid friendly (duh). There isn't much space in there, but you could surely fit a stroller in there. If it's busy, the line could definitely create a full room.
Enjoy!
