I love cake donuts so much, so I'm really glad I don't attend more gatherings like church services or potlucks where donuts are often served because I would be in serious trouble. Since I stay away from these types of events and therefore from temptation, I'm fortunate enough to only have a truly serious craving (the kind that will actually drive me to go online and look up the closest donut place) every so often.
The other day, after hearing about Dunkin Donuts' recent re-opening, I got one of these cravings - a serious, insatiable longing for a cakey, moist, buttery donut. Thanks to Yelp (and Eric P's review), I found this little shop right at the intersection of Central and Southern (right near the South Phoenix Ranch Market location).
My husband and I went in around 3 pm and got two cake donuts to try (one chocolate and one cinnamon crumble). They were only $.75 each, and they were absolutely perfect. The texture and flavor were exactly how they should have been, and we were especially impressed by how fresh (and not stale) they tasted for the time of day it was. Only problem now is to figure out how to not make this place (which is basically on the way from our house to anything we go to in downtown or Central Phoenix) a regular stop!
