Cute local chain with hit or miss donuts. Service was perfect duh pay them more. Got 6 donuts, took…read moreat least one bite of each, and fed the rest to my roomate. Hits: - buttermilk: first one i've ever had that actually kind of tastes like buttermilk. great texture too - glazed chocolate cake donuts: the cake base is super chocolatey even without chocolate icing. impressive. Misses: - apple fritter: soft and flexible like a paper plate with minimal pieces of apple, really disappointing given how big it is. mine had way too much cinnamon in it too. - anything with "strawberry" icing: classic pepto bismol flavor, my search for good strawberry donuts in ongoing - glazed: wet?? definitely not a raised texture, the icing kinda soaks into it making it soggy. can't decide if it wants to lean cake donut or bready donut. ???: two-toned knott - bready, is it supposed to be that way?

Walked in to a basic mom'n'pop store greeted by the smells of oil and sugar. Gentleman at the…read morecounter politely said hello. Since it was my first time, I decided on a trio of their glazed varieties. I'm not a huge fan of overly filled and topped donuts anyway. The classic plain glazed donut was fluffy and airy inside and lightly glazed on top- perfect. The glazed French Crueller was slightly wet inside and crispy outside- prob won't get again as I prefer the fluffiness of the classic donut. The sour cream fashioned I saved for last because it's my go-to donut. Honestly, it let me down. Yes, it was crispy with lots of crusty surface area and had a dense inside. But it had too much surface area that held on to too much glaze, making it overall way too sweet for me. I will be back to get more plain glazed and maybe try the twisted two-toned.

With the need to find food sensitive eateries Explorado is a perfect place for all. Focusing on a complete Gluten free menu we were all able to find food we could enjoy without worry. The menu options are expansive and the food delicious. Service was friendly and patient as we took some time to choose our items. The ambiance is very pleasant especially as the building adjoins the Old Town Square. If we lived in FC full time this would be my almost daily place for gluten free food or for an array of drink options. I tried the dhumarl black iced tea; it was wonderful. Don't miss visiting the Explorado Market. Sit down, relax and enjoy.

This fine sunny and warm Sunday morning found us hopping in (again, we came last year) to La Crêperie to fight the crêpe withdrawals--it's been too long. Interior is very "Parisian cafe", period art, TVs showing videos of the pastry chefs doing their thing. She ordered a hot chocolate to start, and a Parisian crêpe (berries, whip cream, raspberry coulis). I ordered a galette (think square envelope-crêpe) from the savory side. I'd had it last visit and had been looking forward to a redux. I ordered the Professeur Steve, capers, mushrooms, caramelized onions, spinach and brie, which arrived with smoked salmon arranged like a rose at opposing corners (keeps it cold). Oh man, this brie-gooing mushroomy sweet-caramelly onion spinach umami explosion goes perfectly taken in a bite with the salmon. Addiction sated; withdrawals saved off until next June's visit. Wife's crêpe was delicious--everything sweet-toothers love. Hot chocolate is real. Like not from a packet but from a chocco chunk and paid labor somewhere nearby. Whipped cream was real, and thick enough that it could have been sliced and served on its own. Absolutely freaking delicious. Love this place. See you in a year!

I've never had an opportunity to give two reviews for the same place…read more 1. Best donuts in town. 2. Incompetent store management. This location never has enough of the most popular donuts while hundreds of other donuts remain unsold. I've been told they would adjust their production numbers to fix it. For 5 months I've been told this. Still no change. Either they don't care about the customer or they are incompetent. The same donuts are gone by late morning every single day. So if you, like me, want one of the three most popular donuts, good luck. I will remove this review when the problem is fixed permanently.

Our fabulous server Clementine was there--we remembered her from last year. This is I think our third or fourth time here in as many years. An order of beignets started us off. These are square and no-kidding as big as my hand. Each. Four of them. Yeah, beignets are mostly air but one order was plenty for the two of us. I ordered the Eggs Pontchartrain---pan-fried trout filet, poached eggs, smothered in sauce bearnaise. I ordered the side of grits, plain, though I've also had their cheese grits. Both are stellar. Fabulous breakfast plate! Wife N went with the classic Benedict, ham, poached eggs, hollandaise, plain grits on the side. Delicious as always. Coffee is dark and fabulous. Side biscuit was super-fluffy and the housemade strawberry rhubarb jam hit the spot. Fabulous as always, see you again next year!

The lack of wait to order combined with the large crowd waiting for food should have clued me in to move on. The woman taking my order warned that food would take 25-30 minutes. Much longer than desirable, but I figured I could manage that wait and proceeded with my order: chicken and waffles for $16 + tip. Thirty minutes pass. 10 more minutes pass. Finally at about 47 minutes after I placed my order, with the headline concert time fast approaching, I inquire where my order is on the queue. She a scrolls down past many orders ahead of mine and predicts at least 15 more minutes. I request refund and walk away. No dinner for me at "Taste of FoCo". :( Bottom line: Worst food truck experience ever. Please, know your limitations and figure out how to accurately tell customers how long the wait. One hour is truly unacceptable, as one does not attend festivals to wait around for food to miraculously appear. Had I been told from the outset that it would be an hour or more, I wouldn't have ordered and could've chosen another place to eat. I gave two stars only because I've eaten their food after a Fortitude run years ago and it was good. Also because it couldn't have been easy for the poor girl taking orders to have all those hungry eyes staring at her hoping their order was next. She was nice.

My husband would like to go and check out the waffle lab though so i imagine we will be back :) It is cool to know that there is a location that offers gluten free waffles.
