Food Style? Glorious Donuts

It's not even 9am but this little donut shop is packed, which is testament to how amazing this place is. One look at the menu set me into panic mode - there are so many delicious-sounding flavours, how do I choose?! I want to try them all!


The lady at the counter was very helpful, pointing out the specials for the day and the newly released flavours. I went for the coconut cream and pineapple, and the peanut butter caramel. The coconut pineapple one is quite pleasant, very much like a pina colada. It's not sickeningly sweet like many of the American glazes are. The seagulls I'm sitting next to are squawking like there's no tomorrow because even they can tell how delicious these donuts are. I open the bag to get the peanut butter one (yes, I'm eating two donuts in one sitting and I do not care) and it's immediately clear from the aroma that they've made the peanut butter themselves. Lovely and soft with rich flavours, this is a definite crowd pleaser that gets the thumbs up from me.
