Today Miss Jackie and I traveled around
the city (meaning I sat while she drove) in search of delicious donuts. She mentioned this place
called Dona's a bit ago so we headed there even though it was all the
way in Downey. She crazy. This place is amazing. I was kind of
nervous to get crazy donuts because of one place JP and I went to a
while ago but decided to go head and try some anyway here. This is
one of the cleanest donut places I've been to and very open. There is
no long line out the front door. All the employees engage you. They
are not rushing you. No music blaring. Just a cool spot with good
employees and as it turns out and 8/8 tasty ass donuts.
I can not remember the name of all the
flavors we got but like I said we got eight of them. We got three of
the Chicharrón ones. That sounded so crazy that I ha to try it. They
make them fresh and they get softer over time but the taste stays the
same which means that it stays good. That donut made no sense but I
loved it. The horchata one was really good. That was the thing with
this place. Even the ones that seemed like they should have been mega
sweet were just damned good. There was a banana and peanut butter one
that had the perfect amount of each spread so it wasn't too much of
one and the peanut butter didn't choke me.
The hibiscus one was really good! I did
not expect something that color to taste the way it did. It was tart
but this magical amount that didn't make my face scrunch up. I have
had some donuts that were so tart I couldn't get past one bite but
this was not one. And that crazy purple glitter one at the bottom was
the Selena. Do not be fooled by the color. It is not as sugary as you
would expect. It also had a lavender/lemon glaze to it. I'd for sure
get all of these flavors again but the horchata and Chicharrón were
my favorite. Miss Jackie liked all but would likely pass on the
banana peanut butter one next time.
Next we went to Donut Friend in
Pasadena. Id been here a few times with JP and knew exactly which
ones I wanted. We got the Bacon 182 which Miss Jackie did not like. I
did just not as much as last time because they added a bit too much
of the coconut this time. Not a bit. A lot more. And they were darker
than the previous time. Both of us liked the Polar Berry Club because
it tastes like it was just made. I still like it better the next day
when it is nice and cold. And of course we had to get the caramel
one. Miss Jackie liked this one and to prove I am a decent human told
her to take a whole one home. Sitting here writing this now I may
possibly regret this decision. It is still one of the best donuts
I've had ever. Thanks to Miss Jackie for all the crazy driving around
the city.
