Drove over from the east side to try City Girl Donuts and it was worth the trip. The custom yeast donuts offer unique flavor combinations which I've never seen anywhere else. The donuts are mouth watering and are as beautiful to LOOK at as they are good to eat!
I went for the berry glazed filled with homemade raspberry filling, topped with yummy dark and white chocolate shavings and blackberries. Delicious! The donut was not too sweet and you can tell these are handcrafted with care. Frankly these donuts could be offered as desserts in a high end restaurant. They also had pear custard filled, topped with glazed pear and vanilla marscapone plus those darn chocolate shavings. And if banana custard is your thing....that's there too. Obviously one needs to make more than one visit because one donut is filling.
The owner, Barbara, is passionate about her business and spent years planning before turning her dream into a reality. I appreciate and choose to support locally run businesses. City Girl also offers more traditional glazed, cake and long john donuts, and donut holes for the kids! The prices ($2.50-3.00) may feel like sticker shock if you've only been to Dunkin' but really folks....if you'd pay $3.50 for an ice cream cone then this is a bargain.
This was a very satisfying cross-town trip!
