A few years ago, I had a doughnut at the Doughnut Plant in New York City. I then came to the realization that not all doughnuts are created equal!!
i.e there’s a HUGE difference between a commercially made doughnut and one that is made in house in small batches.
I also have been lucky enough to have discovered Suzi Q Doughnuts in Ottawa as well as doughnuts from Fraser Cafe.Therefore my quest for “really good doughnuts” continues.
Thanks to twitter I discovered Thor Espresso Bar was serving Glory Hole Doughnuts…..which means, I HAD TO GO. (like a good foodie)
Here was the Doughnut Menu:
Decisions, Decisions, Decisions
I decided to order the lemon meringue doughnut and I wasn’t disappointed at all. The curd and the meringue were perfect which resulted in an awesome doughnut experience.
YUM. ME.
Clearly the donughnut required a coffee so here’s a picture of a perfect cup of coffee:
Doughnut + Coffee = Happiness
The owner of Glory Hole Doughnuts took time out of her busy schedule to chat with me one day. I found out more about her background (she’s a trained pastry chef) and why she opened up this business. (she simply loves doughnuts). I also found out that there’s a rotation of 11 flavours. I really think I should organize a Doughnut Tweet Up so we can try all the flavors!!
Who’s in?
These doughnuts are really really popular so go early!! It was worth the drive downtown on a Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m.!
