Today there were at least a dozen offerings- glazed old fashioned, Boston cream, lemon filled, cookies and cream, maple bacon...and more. I had the maple bacon doughnut. It's a traditional doughnut, not a cake doughnut. Topping was delicious, but the doughnut part was thick, and could easily be cut open to make a sandwich. I need to try a filled doughnut to see if the ratio of dough to filling is better than dough to topping. Maple bacon might work better on a cake doughnut this size or cut it open and and make a sandwich out of it.

Well, "teh machine was broke" at Krispy Kreme and they didn't have any glazed. Which led me to Sugar Shack Dounts. It's sort of in the Fan (I guess?) thank goodness for GPS or I'd never find it. Very small parking lot. No inside seating, all grab and go. Anyway. Walked in, scanned the donut case. Lots of Gucci looking donuts (I'm a big fan of glazed and chocolate iced...basic donuts). didn't see any glazed but they did have chocolate ice. Seemed somewhat busy for a Saturday morning (surprise? not to me, but apparenlty a surprise to whoever schedules people to work there). Service wasn't necessarily slow, but adding up the gucci coffees and all the door-dash (I'm assuming....there was a tape machine by the cash register steadily spitting out tickets) it was busy for one (then two) people to handle. Service was friendly enough. Second person showed up...placed my order, 3 chocolate glazed. $8! are you kidding? $8 for 3 donuts. Crazy. But I bought them. Went to my car to eat. So (after eating my 3 chocolate iced donuts): oh my. They were spectacular. A little "thicker" or "firmer" than a Krispy Kreme....and the chocolate ice stayed on the donut, solid, the whole time. Great flavor (donut and chocolate). So, yeah, you get what you pay for. I certainly wouldn't eat there everyday, or take a bunch of kids there.....but every once in a while? A nice treat.

Everything I've had here is delicious, but here are some of my favorites: UBE BLONDIES *** Probably one of their most signature items that stays on the menu season to season, this crumbly, satisfyingly dense, soft baked good with that nice punch of ube flavor will really have you coming back for more. The frosting glaze is just perfect, adding that sweetness that carries the ube flavor really nicely. The texture is just soooo satisfying, you can just tell when you cut your fork through it that it has this airy, yet dense and crumbly texture. TURON FRITTER Kind of like an apple fritter, but oh so crumbly, delicious, bright, and soft on the inside. Also had their brown sugar boba pudding cup when it came out, and it was really good; the tapioca actually blended quite nicely and was chewy and fresh, which means you're not stuck chewing it forever. Definitely on the sweeter side, but brown sugar items tend to be that way.

Amazing Donut Experience! These were hands down the best donuts I've ever had in my life. Made fresh, right before your eyes. Not even the slightest hint of staleness. The donuts themselves were fresh, light, warm and fluffy. The toppings ranged from standard (sprinkles) to exotic (BACON!!!!!) but were all delicious. I've had so called artisanal Bourgeoisie donuts before and they simply can not compete. The staff was kind and courteous and hilariously thin. Duck Donuts, I WANNA HAVE YOUR BABIES!!! read more
