Doughnut Plant

The valrhona chocolate doughnut is ... intensely rich. I don’t think I could consume a whole one. But... I could try again. Really I could.

However, the true standout was something called a butterfly, which the proprietor was reluctant to sell me for fear I wouldnt like it. The dough was almost a cross between a bialy and a doughnut- sweet but substantial. Covered in seasame and topped with salt, oh my god. Please, could I have one every day? Update: argh! he says they were just an experiment. I consoled myself with a valrhona chocolate doughnut. An entire one.

“The best doughnut that can be made”, a sign on the counter says. This place is apparently run by a monomanical genius. It really is a plant, too; it’s an industrial space filled with baking equipment, then at the front, a cash register, a wire rack of doughnuts, a coffeemaker, and seating for two (2) customers.

They’re damn good doughnuts. You’ll like them.
