| - I'm not sure if there's something wrong with me, if it was an off day, or if everyone else has low donut standards, but I didn't think these donuts were all that. The husband and I excitedly drove up to Northern Perks on a Sunday morning to get some (supposedly) delicious donuts and coffee. We arrived and immediately felt a little disappointed... the shop itself was nothing terribly special and the case of donuts didn't have much out of the ordinary either (at least these days when many other donut shops are stepping up their creativity game) . The husband got a fruit loops donut, I got a cronut, we got the bacon maple to go and a coffee. Let me say, the ladies who work there were very nice and helpful.
Here's the rundown:
Coffee- they have a few different varieties. The husband got the regular coffee and poured 'cream' in it from the carafe. Unfortunately, I don't think it was cream ( or milk) as the coffee looked like it had chunks of white stuff in it, I thought possibly bad milk... it was pretty gross looking, but the husband said it tasted ok and he thought maybe it was just coffee mate powder mixed with water. Either way, not having cream or milk out for coffee is ridiculous.
Cronut - this thing was greasy and the filling was flavorless.... the redeeming quality? the strawberry on top... but there was only one slice... and it didn't save this dessert. This is a sad version of what could be so good.
Bacon maple - Also greasy, left a weird taste in your mouth... wasn't nearly as good as bacon maples from other local establishments (see Welcome Donut, Oink, etc).
So, I'm not sure if it was a bad day, which I hope it was, but I'm also not sure I'll be back to find out.
