Thanks to Danny N. of West Covina, CA for giving me the 411 on this Hot and New business in Downtown Las Vegas! We don't have these fancy 6 inch donuts in Hawaii, so it was a fun discovery for me!
We arrived at about 9am and the line was out the door, but it moved quickly since the workers are efficient, skilled, and friendly! We easily found metered street parking right in the front of the shop on Carson Avenue. I ran right in and was done before the meter maid caught me! Oh yeah for "free parking"!
Donut Bar is a cozy place where the width of the shop showcases their eye-popping product. There's a row of stools along the counter on the far wall if you want to dine there.
The colors, designs, and names of the donuts really intrigued me. It was so difficult to make a decision, but I finally settled on the Caramelized pineapple and the Coconut Dream. ..
I'm from the Aloha State and I haven't seen a pineapple donut before. Mmm mmm... it was a delight! The Coconut Dream was even better because it reminded me of a Mounds candy with a thin layer of chocolate between the donut and the coconut layer. Yummy! Both donuts were $3 each. They did leave an oily spot on the wax paper that lined the box... and a bit of an oily feel in the mouth. The donut itself seemed a bit denser and less cakey in texture.
I want to go back for the Mexican Hot Chocolate, creme brulee, chocolate bacon, and the Strawberry Split. .. (note: vegan options are available!) I heard that there is a Donut Bar in San Diego. .. oh oh...here we come!
