I anxiously crawled out of bed this morning to walk down the street and finally get a taste of our new neighborhood addition, District Doughnut.
As we approached we could see the line was most definitely out the door, but I can assure you, it was worth the wait. My husband and I purchased one of each available flavor and two cups of coffee, here are our findings:
The coffee was a great brew. Classic (but quality) coffee to pair with the classic breakfast pastry.
The Key Lime Doughnut was by far our favorite. Sweet, tart, and beautifully presented. (top left)
The Brown Sugar Doughnut was our runner up. Simple, light, and slightly sweet. (bottom right)
The Dulce de Leche came in third. Quite sugary but with a delicious caramel sauce. (bottom left)
The Goodfellow was our fourth and final, and not because it wasn't delicious, it was just so much doughnut! Glazed in a Nutella Ganache with Crispy Bacon toppings, this was quite the decadent doughnut and not for the faint hearted! (top right)
I loved the overall vibe of District Doughnut. A clean, crisp interior design with carrera counters and accents of turquoise and lavender. This space was designed with a modern approach but oozes vintage vibe. District Doughnut has applied for a permit to provide outdoor seating, but for now it's either lean on the counters inside or take your doughnut to go.
