| - My eyes initially lit up when I went to PLLD. Specialty donuts? HELL YES. There I was, buying a dozen of their funkadelic donuts (or whatever the gourmet ones are called), picking among unique flavors of s'mores, samoas, cap'n crunch, and more... only to be left with utter disappointment. Each and every donut was stale and way, way too sweet. The only special donut I liked was their butterscotch one, and that was still way too sweet.
The other thing I liked was the hot, fresh out of the fryer cinnamon sugar donut they let me sample before ordering. Great flavor, great texture, and not as stale or overpriced as the specialty donuts. Which is a shame because if you've found yourself reading this review, you were probably interested in the fancy shmancy donuts like me. Don't be fooled. It's just a gimmick. If you want something that tastes like something else, just forgo the something and get that something else, at least in this case. It was fun at first to see which of the donuts tasted like their namesake, but when you get to the 5th or 6th donut and not one of them taste like what they say they are, you start regretting the past 3 minutes of your life (yes 3, I eat fast and these are really small).
And don't trick yourself into thinking these are more diet-friendly because they are tiny. The sheer amount of toppings will make up for anything lost in the size. I'm not one to complain about sweetness especially in a type of food that is supposed to be sweet, but these were too damn sweet.
