I tried a new to me donut place recently,
Paradise Donuts & Coffee. I was looking forward to enjoying their made fresh donuts.
I'm old enough to remember
Dunkin' Donuts before they went to centralized donut baking; when each store made their donuts fresh several times a day. The memory of those donuts are why, when I dragged out of bed on a recent Sunday morning, I was expecting to be rewarded with warm, fresh donuts. Nope. Sad face emoji.
I was there a half hour after opening. My selections made, box packed, I looked forward to giving these a try.
Sadly, this brightly colored box held a bakers dozen of disappointment. More sad face emojis.
Not a warm fresh donut in the bunch. Not only that, they all tasted like day old donuts. What? I've come to find out that the donuts at this Paradise Donuts are NOT baked fresh in the store. No, they're baked at another location the night before and then delivered to this location. A dozen sad face emojis.
To be fair, the donuts were ok. They tasted
almost as good as any SuperMom's donut or grocery store donut I've had. Almost.
My takeaway? When it comes to
donuts I should have quit while I was ahead. Smiley face emoji!
Happy dining!
