| - I wandered into City Girl on a Wed. at 10 a.m. Selection seemed a little sparse compared to pics and comments that I had previously seen/heard about this place. Ended up with six donuts - creamsticks (maple glaze), lemon poppyseed, white glazed, creme bruleed top and lemon curd. Also did a coffee.
Synopsis - they were good. Very good quality, as was the coffee. Size - the creamsticks were very small with the others average size - certainly not large, but also not small.
Now for the kicker - the price. $3 each for the "custom" ones (lemon curd, creme bruleed I think) and $2.50 for the classic like the creamsticks and white glazed with sprinkes. Coffee, large was $2.25. Total bill for 6 donuts and one coffee was $18. That's where we differ on opinions - one of my co-workers who has been here feels the pricing is fine for fresh made, specialty donuts. I, on the other hand, feel that they must "blow my socks off - sincerely craving them" at those prices. While they were darn good, I just cannot see myself and wife going in to get 2 donuts each and 2 plain coffees and spending $15. I guess to me a donut is still an inexpensive item where $2 - $3 for one of them is just too much. I'll stick to Fragapane's in Bay Village where the creamsticks are still less than $1 and twice the size of City Girl. Then again, that's just me! I will certainly pop in here again, however it will probably be only a couple times a year.
