Always glad to see a new donut spot, especially one from the geniuses behind The Pub Chip Shop. After drooling over their Instagram photos for a couple of weeks, my wife was able to swing by and pick up a couple donut options including the buckeye and an orange cream (?) donut, both traditional yeast raised.
They were both beautiful to look at, and I love a good buckeye donut. Initial impression is that the buckeye donut was not soft (compared to the orange cream which definitely was). In fact, it tasted stale, which was unfortunate. The chocolate was very rich and a little bit bitter, which I enjoyed. The peanut butter was overly salty, and overall the donut needed a little sweetness. I'm hoping for just bad luck in this case.
The orange cream donut just fell flat for me, unlike the other donut it was plenty soft by the filling was so sweet and tart and left an unfortunate taste in my mouth.
I plan on going back to try the cake donuts and some other varieties. I have full faith that this place will end up being great, just might need a little work here to start.
