Strange
sounds like everything you could want. Unique twists on donuts, lots of
variety, and baked fresh only minutes or hours before. Unfortunately, it doesn’t
really deliver in the way I want it to.
A
couple things to note. Go during the day if you can and not at peak morning
hours. Otherwise get there right when they open at night. As you can see, the
lines are kind of ridiculous for a Saint Louis eating establishment. Come on
people, we’re not Chicago or New York.
Second,
if you order a dozen they’ll be stacked into one box on top of each other.
What, is there a box shortage? Make your life easier. Get six so that they don’t
all get smooshed together. Finally,
if you’re looking for a sturdier pastry then I’d skip this place. The donuts
her in general manage to be a little mushy yet a little dry right in the
middle. Overall they generally seem to use the same donut batter for most of
their treats.
It’s
not the donuts here are bad, they’re not (I mean my dog, Solo, seemed pretty interested in them). They’re just not as amazing as
promised. For example the mint oreo donut is just a chocolate donut with mint
frosting and oreo on top. The maple bacon donut is a regular donut with maple
frosting and bacon on top. The rainbow pony donut is white frosting and you
guessed it, sprinkles on top. I would have like to see a little more melding.
Like putting bacon in the donut or a cookies and cream donut with mint frosting
on top.
There
were a few winners. The custard donut is pretty scrumptious with that creamy,
thick custard that you know is homemade. The flava is also pretty tasty, it’s
light and fruity. The apricot donut is likewise a nice change from the usual
with the preserves not being too sweet.
Overall?
Not bad, but not someplace I’ll be going out of my way to grab some deep fried
dough from. I have heard from people that it’s either hit or miss here and I
might have gone on a miss day, but first impressions aren’t super high. Go and
try it out if you want to say you have, but otherwise there’s no need to rush.
