| - Hubby and I had just finished all you can eat sushi, but we really needed our sweet fix for dessert. So, as usual, I pulled out Yelp and looked up nearby options. This place had been on my to-do list, but I'm never in this part of town. Seeing it was only a 1.5 miles away, I knew it was finally time!
We walked in about twenty minutes before closing and they had just turned off the frier for the mini donuts. So the friendly girl at the counter offered me the last four as a sample - I had the option of powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar and went with the latter. These donuts are everything I want a donut to be! Fresh from the frier, light and fluffy and simply sweetened. I would come back here for these donuts alone!
But luckily, this place has a few more treats that make it worth the drive. First, Nanaimo Bars. What's a Nanaimo Bar? Well, I didn't know either until about six months ago when I visited Vancouver and saw them everywhere. It has a chocolate mixed nuts crust, a thick cream layer (it almost tastes as sweet as a butter cream icing!) and is topped with a rich chocolate ganache. I was so happy to find this delicious treat outside of Canada and right here in my city!
Second, a Cookie with chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and potato chips. While I must admit that I didn't really taste the potato chips at all, it was still an amazing cookie! Make sure you ask to have it warmed, because that's how it's meant to be! It's chewy on the outside and gooey on the inside.
The owner came out and talked with us while we nibbled on our loot. She was very friendly. Since they were closing, she offered us a churro cookie as they wouldn't be fresh for the next day and would otherwise be thrown away. We already had so many treats in front of us that this was one we gladly took home for later.
My hubby also tried some kind of cranberry cake bar and he absolutely loved it!
This place is quite a deal and has super-legit goodies! Yelp check-in gets you three free donuts, my receipt gave me a coupon for my next visit and every day of the week offers a different deal. We were there on a Wednesday, the day you get a free dog treat with any purchase!
