| - Post workout meal... Maybe not.
OK- So I was looking for less-healthy snacks in the Beltline area, and this place popped up. People seemed to love it, so I was thinking about when I would make the trek over. After my morning swim, I thought- "Why the heck not?" so I pedalled specifically over to 8th Street. Then the bargaining began. I picked a side of the street and I said - "If it is on this side, I will go in today."
Well- I am writing this review, so fate won. I suppose I did, too. I went in and WOW! what a strange, imposing ultra modern, bordering on A Clockwork Orange glass case with doughnuts. It was huge! The doughnuts looked apetizing, and the menu was a bit odd to see through the wall of glass. Who cares about the menu, though. The doughnuts are in your face.
I ordered one of the Chocolate-topped doughnuts, and the ordering/payment system wasn't so much confusing, but I would say it was odd. At 0700, I guess I wasn't there for the mid-morning buzz. MAybe there is some reasoning for it when it is busy. Who knows?
When they asked how I would like it packed, I asked for a box (as I was going to throw it into my backpack and munch on it at work). They had run out of the single boxes, but offered me a double box instead. So what is an eco-concious, granola eating, Birkenstock wearing hippy to do? Waste all that space and cardboard?
Of course not. I got the coconut doughnut to accompany Mr Chocolate doughnut. It is staring at me right now... "Eat me... Eat me!" The telepathy is working. This review is off track and I seem to be wanting a sugar fix.
Yup, the doughnuts are pretty fantastic. Not something you would want everyday, but the calories are worth it occassionally.
