AMAZING
1st COINTREAU CREME BRÛLÉE
Blue Star Donuts, Portland
Beyond amazing! Blue Star describes it well: “Our signature brioche shell is filled with thick vanilla custard, and then torched-fired by hand to create that crisp, smoky candy shell. A pipette is filled with Cointreau (orange liqueur), which adds a sweet citrus balance when squeezed into the donut.” And may I add, OMG! It’s up there with the best creme brûlée I’ve ever had!
2nd DARK CHOCOLATE DONUT
Joe Coffee Company, New York
Rich dark chocolate cake with a dark chocolate glaze & chocolate crumbs on top. Just wow! Super dark & flavorful. Just moist enough. Very fresh. From Underwest.
3rd ORANGE OLIVE OIL DONUT
Blue Star Donuts, Portland
The olive oil added a subtly crisp coating & a depth of flavor. Then there was a whiff of orange flavor ( I think courtesy of "orange dust") that just put this donut over-the-top & out of the donut category & into the fine French cake category!
4th CHERRY BOMBE VALENTINE’S DAY DOUGHNUT: LEMON CURD
Fan Fan Doughnuts, New York
This is my favorite of the half dozen. It’s made by @csaffitz, formerly of Bon Appetite, currently on YouTube. It’s a yeast doughnut filled with the freshest tangy lemon curd and enrobed in a vanilla bean glaze, topped with a buttery crumbly lemon poppyseed cookie. What a wonderful experience! I could have one every week.
5th LEMON RICOTTA DONUT
Federal Donuts, Philadelphia
❤️❤️❤️! Like a freshly home made lemon ricotta cake. Moist, bright & very citrusy combined with a smooth & creamy taste & texture. Philly Federal may actually be better than NYC Doughnut Plant, but I'd have to do a side-by-side taste test to know. They both have such a variety of flavors, it would be difficult.
6th MEYER LEMON AND KEY LIME CURD DONUT
Blue Star Donuts, Portland
That light, cake-like brioche dough! It’s celestially enhanced by the filling of the bright, tart-sweet silky smooth Meyer lemon & key lime curd. Cool, fine powdered sugar tops it off. Every bite is a revelation. Heavenly.😌
7th COFFEE CAKE DOUGHNUT
Doughnut Plant, New York
Boy, (or girl!), do I taste the coffee in there! In the dough, the glaze & the creamy marscapone filling. It’s their own coffee, too! Best.coffee.cake.ever!
8th CRÉME BRÛLÉE DOUGHNUT
Doughnut Plant, New York
Light, thin, crispy brûléed caramel over a yeast doughnut filled with creamy vanilla bean custard. A pleasurable experience! It’s their signature donut. They say they’re the first in the world to create this!
9th GRAPEFRUIT BRÛLÉE
Federal Donuts, Philadelphia
Fantastic burnt caramel genuine grapefruit flavor in a soft lightly dense dough. Mama mia!
10th BROOKLYN BLACKOUT
Doughnut Plant, New York
Pillowy, dense & chocolatey cake doughnut with chocolate pudding in the middle! Doughnut to share or break-up-comfort doughnut or just savoring-alone-time doughnut! Here’s the official description: “Rich chocolate cake doughnut dipped in Valrhona chocolate, with a chocolate pudding filling and then sprinkled with chocolate cake crumbs. Doughnut Plant's tribute to Brooklyn's Ebinger's bakery.” Nostalgia doughnut!
11th PUMPKIN SEED DOUGHNUT
Doughnut Plant, New York
So moist & dense with a very nice pumpkin flavor in the cake & the icing. Nice little crunchy pumpkin seeds on top complete the delicious experience.
12th SALTED CHOCOLATE CARAMEL
Dough Doughnuts - City Kitchen, USA
From the menu: “Sticky, delious messy dark chocolate glaze made with dark caramel sprinkled with a bit of grey sea salt.” From me: 🤪😋So crazy good! The chocolate is deep & rich. Love the crunchy sea salt. The caramel adds a sweet, buttery richness. It’s made with a yeast dough. They say it it is a brioche-like recipe. I say it is pillowy & fresh & humongous! I tried to save 1/2. Then I tried to save a quarter. Then I figured it wouldn’t stay fresh for long, so...poof!
13th CRYSTALLIZED GINGER DOUGHNUT
Doughnut Plant, New York
Fresh, dense cake doughnut with that spicy ginger burn! I taste ginger in the glaze and in the cakey goodness! They’ve done it again! This one was made to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
14th MULLED CIDER DOUGHNUT
Joe Coffee Company, New York
Fresh, cakey, spicy & with a nice touch of candied orange rind. From Underwest. So glad I stopped in on a whim!
15th ROSEMARY PINEAPPLE (CAKE)
Doughnut Plant, New York
Actually it was really really good! Super moist & a strong pineapple flavor. It’s made with caramelized fresh pineapples & fresh rosemary in the dough & the glaze. Flavor bomb!
16th YUZU CAKE DOUGHNUT
Doughnut Plant, New York
I love this moist, bright tasting yuzu doughnut! Yuzu is in the batter and the icing. Can’t get much more yuzu than that!
17th APPLE CIDER DOUGHNUT
Blank Street, New York
So moist, fresh & with a definite apple flavor! That sprinkling of sugar crystals on top is just the right finishing touch! ✨It looks more like Bundt cake, but I’ll eat it regardless of the name!
18th CHERRY BOMBE VALENTINE’S DAY DOUGHNUTS: COCONUT CREAM
Fan Fan Doughnuts, New York
This doughnut created by @zoebakes x Fan Fan is rolled in lemon sugar, filled with toasted coconut pastry cream & topped with torched meringue. So creamy & dreamy! (Note to self: eat before subway ride before meringue melts!)
19th GINGERDOUGH MAN
Doughnut Plant, New York
“A Doughnut Plant original, with real ginger and molasses.” Very rich & gingery. It’s a cake doughnut, which I totally love. Doesn’t hurt that it’s so cute, either! However I had mixed feelings about eating his legs.
20th PUMPKIN CREAM DOUGHNUT
Paris Baguette, New York
Sweet iced soft & pillowy cake filled with subtley spiced pumpkin cream. I was happily surprised cause I just bought it for fun!
21st CHERRY BOMBE VALENTINE’S DAY DOUGHNUTS
Fan Fan Doughnuts, New York
Well, I may have over-done it this time! I couldn’t resist this six-doughnut special plus bonus doughnut holes. Each doughnut was made by a different female chef. Or they probably each gave their recipe to FanFan Doughnuts who made them. I got a friend to have a little bite of three. No one else likes doughnuts. What could I do?!🤷🏻‍♀️ They we're very good to amazing. I’ll review each one by & by.
22nd DOUGHNUTS
Cloudy Donut Co., New York
They are Very Good to Amazing. All are vegan. Some creative combinations. 1. Lemon Cream 2. Pistachio 3. Grapefruit Mimosa (with brûléed grapefruit & champagne in icing!) 4. Sexual Chocolate (with fudge cake crumbles)
REALLY GOOD
23rd CARROT-MANDARIN BLACK SESAME DOUGHNUT
Fan Fan Doughnuts, New York
Carrot-mandarin citrus glaze with Black Sesame yeast doughnut by @natashapickowicz x @fanfandoughnuts for @cherrybombe Valentine’s Collab! Love the delicate citrus flavor combined with earthy carrot & black sesame oomph. #valentinesdoughnuts #valentinesday #doughnuts #yeastdoughnuts #brooklyn #nyctattoo
24th MOCHA-ALMOND CRUNCH
Dough Doughnuts, New York
Rich glaze made with bittersweet Vintage Plantation (should they change their name?🤔) chocolate, topped with a crunchy almond streusel over a fluffy, yet dense brioche-like dough. Very satisfying & so good. I could taste both the coffee & chocolate with the coffee being more prominent, which makes me happy!
25th HANUKKAH MARZIPAN
Doughnut Plant, New York
“Hanukkah sufganiyot! Filled with our housemade blackberry jam and dipped in our marzipan glaze!” So pillowy & the jam is really intense. The marzipan glaze adds a touch more flavor.
26th GINGERBREAD DOUGHNUT
Doughnut Plant, New York
A spicy cake doughnut! It’s got real ginger & molasses in it & ginger bits in the glaze. Tastes like all those winter spices, too!
27th CHOCOLATE BUTTERMILK OLD FASHIONED DONUT
Blue Star Donuts, Portland
Cake donut infused with dark French chocolate topped with a lightly sweet Steve Smith Bergamot tea glaze. Subtle, comfy & satisfying!
28th PASSION FRUIT DOUGHFLOWER
Doughnut Plant, New York
Bright citrus flavor & moist yeast doughnut. Pretty!
29th PASSION FRUIT CAKE DOUGHNUT
Doughnut Plant, New York
Also moist & citrusy like it’s yeasty sibling. Maybe even moister!
30th CHOCOLATE-FILLED DOUGHNUT
Stumptown Coffee Roasters, New York
Between a rich & light dough, filled with creamy dark chocolate & coated in crunchy sugar crystals by #SupermoonBakehouse. Deelicious! #doughnut
