The Food: Pastel-pretty doughnuts with glazes, fillings and toppings that are mostly made in-house. The menu changes daily, but flavours like maple bacon, s’mores, peanut butter cup and salted caramel are permanent fixtures. There’s also a rotating doughnut of the month; for June, the Hollywood Bollywood: a salted caramel doughnut topped with Indian-spiced caramel corn and deep-fried carrot curls.
The Place: An almost clinically white room with pops of fuschia. The glass countertop display case flaunts the day’s confections and a small seating area looks out onto College Street.
The Numbers:
• 20 doughnut varieties available on weekends; 12–15 on weekdays
• 3 organic doughnut bases: yeast-raised, cake and gluten-free
• 2 sizes of doughnut available: three-bite ($2.25) and regular ($2.75)
