The creativity behind the menu is impressive.
Katy Cherry? Kim Kardoughsian? I mean, c'mon. They have lots of donuts, waffles, milkshakes. They even have a burger on the menu with a donut bun. The space is wild and colorful and there is plenty of seating.
I am convinced I love donuts until I order them and realize I only eat a few bites. I like donuts and I liked Crunch Donut Factory, I just didn't love it.
We stopped in mid-day and noticed Crunch is open 24 hours. Not sure when or how often they are baking, but the donuts didn't taste fresh The space was also looking a little neglected and needed a good wipe down for how slow it was.
I will say that I loved the Katy Cherry. A yeast square donut topped with a ring of cheesecake and a cherry filling. I'm a sucker for anything cheesecake and anything cherry. Out of the four we ordered, it was my only favorite. The flavors of the signature Crunch and Lemony Snicket were very artificial and the donuts were very dry. I was most looking forward to the Taylor Crisp (for obvious reasons *ahem, my name*) but was so sad that the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal was totally stale.
The staff seemed pleasant enough and one of the patrons assured me that I could look like him if I ordered a dozen. We both had a good chuckle as he rubbed his belly.
It might have to be a late night before I return to Crunch, but I have high hopes for this creative group.
