WOAP2015: The Doughnut Popup
Where? Georgia Cafe (Wellington CBD, Wellington, New Zealand) Map
Food Style? Glorious Doughnuts
There's a coffee shop called Stories on Cuba Street, down the bottom end towards the Michael Fowler Center. It's in a shipment container renovated to be a cosy little cafe that sits a few people but is mostly there to serve the passers-by with some typical Wellington caffeine. The difference is that this place is run by youth organisation Zeal to give young people the chance to get some hands-on hospitality experience by equipping them with industry skills. It's a wonderful idea and a great cause.
The operation has been so successful that they've very recently opened up another shipping container on the corner of Dixon and Victoria Streets. Though the coffee is much the same, Georgia, the cafe, is serving freshly made limited edition doughnuts for the duration of Wellington on a Plate. Each weekday, a variety of doughnuts with interesting and quirky flavours are provided from various local bakeries.

Day two of this and it's already been insanely popular, selling 400 doughnuts within two hours of opening. Make sure you get there early, because there will probably be a big queue of people wanting their morning coffee and sweet treat. I'll be looking out for Nikau's Lime Marmalade and Matcha Custard - sounds amazing!
