Mmmm...donuts.
We tried this place for the first time Sunday morning. There is a short wait after you order while they prepare your donuts for you. We went with 2 chocolate frosted with sprinkles, a honey-glazed, and a cinnamon sugar. (Their "flavor of the day" was peanut butter frosting with banana chips, which sounded intriguing, but we didn't ultimately try.)
Donuts aren't too big, and priced accordingly. At $1.20 each, and about the size of a mandarin orange or persimmon, you can eat a couple for breakfast without feeling like you swallowed a lead balloon.
The donuts are served up warm. If you order a dozen, they come flat in a box, but since we got only four, they were in a bag. Each donut was in a separate little sleeve (think: a value size order of fries) within the bag, which I appreciated so the toppings wouldn't rub off on each other.
These are great cake donuts: very soft inside with a lightly crunchy (and not overly greasy) exterior.
The cinnamon sugar was my favorite, as the topping/donut proportions seemed well balanced.
The honey glaze came out DRIPPING, and left a pool in the bottom of the sleeve, but my boyfriend seemed to like it.
I feel mixed about the chocolate frosted ones. The main flavor that came through on the icing was basically just sugar. It's a very pale brown coating under the sprinkles, so it's either only a bit of cocoa or light milk chocolate doing the work, and does not impart much chocolate flavor. I prefer a darker chocolate glaze, like what you'd find on an eclair or boston cream style donut, or else a thicker more-chocolatey ganache. This would be the only thing I could ask for improvement on, to be honest!
For drinks, we got a decaf coffee and hot chocolate. The girl at the window (SUPER friendly, btw) pulled out some beans to grind, so I was pleased to get a fresh cuppa and didn't mind the wait. I don't know if they do this for all coffee, or if it was just that decaf isn't as much in demand so is made more on a to-order basis?
Four donuts, a coffee and large hot chocolate ran us around $12 and change.
I'll be back.
