| - Imagine if you will. Someone has taken the idea of a sundae bar and relocated it into the realm of the fried and circular pastry. That's basically what this place is. I actually think it'd work better if they just sold the "blank" donuts and let you put whatever toppings on them that you wanted. So here's their spiel. They make a small fry cake donut and their schtick is that they top it with various things - bacon, frosting, marshmallows, cereal, caramel, fruit. It's like if Happy Dog was a donut instead of a wiener.
I'll admit it. I'm a donut purist. A donut shop is so much more than your average, everyday fry cake. Hell, the fry cake is like the vanilla of the ice cream world. A real donut shop needs to have crullers, long Johns, jellies, glazed, and fritters. This is an affront to the donut shop. We had a Groupon. That's why. The real pain in the ass? We could only use said Groupon during the week. Ugh.
Sure, the service was friendly. The two ladies did their best to work around each other Subway style, taking the pre-fried donuts and dipping them in frosting before adding the other toppings. What was that? Almost $15 a dozen? Oh, but those are the fancy ones. I guess that makes it ok. I'm sorry, have you heard of Jack Frost? Even DD has it up on you guys.
Another problem with dipping fresh is that the icing doesn't have time to set. It just runs down the sides of the donut and into the box. OK, I'll admit, the Somoa donut was damn tasty. But the donut itself. Dry, man. Just dry. Nope. Just didn't do it. No warm and fuzzies.
