Finally stopped by this morning after seeing a co-worker of mine bringing a box of a half a dozen donuts in for lunch a couple of times over the last couple of weeks (the donuts were all that we had for lunch).
Sampled a couple today, the “Old Fashioned” buttermilk and the maple bacon. I should preface this by saying that I am not a big sweet eater. The buttermilk, however, is awesome. I’m not sure how they make this, but it looks like they split the top of the donut after it’s risen, dip it in sugar and toss into the deep frier:
Lots of sugar in this beast, and it may have pushed me over the edge into Type-2 diabetes land, but it was worth it.
The maple bacon donut was very good. I usually find the maple glaze on these things too cloying (which was the case here), but the underlying crueller could not have been lighter with just the right tug.
The buttermilk is quite good, though they do cheat a bit by frying it for a little longer and putting a heavy glaze on it.
I also enjoyed the chocolate donut, which is covered with Valrhona chocolate icing.
