| - I was so excited to hear that we had a donut shop opening downtown and even more excited when one of my coworkers left me a delicious looking S'mores donut last week. I immediately cut it into quarters and shared with my coworkers. I was so glad that I did because it was SO incredibly sweet that I couldn't eat more than a bite. The chocolate donut with chocolate cream is not a good combination, thanks in part to the donut part tasting kind of bitter. My coworkers agreed and we were left with a bit of a bad taste in our mouths, literally.
Fast forward to the weekend and one of my coworkers asked me to walk with him to grab a dozen donuts for his team. I am so glad I did! The shop is adorable and hip on the inside. My favorite part is that it is completely open and you can see them frying, dipping, and frosting donuts right before your eyes. These things are fresh! I was able to steal a few bites, here' s the skinny:
The lemon donut is filled with a delicious lemon custard with a blueberry compote on top. My favorite part was the toasted marshmallow nest that the blueberries rested in, so yummy! I also tried the key lime, which also has a blueberry compote, but it is nestled in whipped cream. It was good, but I preferred the lemon. The fruity pebbles has a gross looking fruity pebbles custard inside, but if you can get past the looks it actually tastes pretty good. I was also able to sample the old fashioned and the apple fritter (bonus points for having free samples on the display case) and they didn't disappoint.
This morning left me feeling happy that I had given them a second chance. They are a little on the pricey side, a dozen donuts was $20, but they make everything fresh all day long. They rotate flavors and are constantly inventing new flavor combinations. I'm excited to see what the future holes for this little shop, I know that I will be back for sure!
