Donuts make me happy. And these donuts are good. Not just good, better than good. They are heaven. A floating-on-the-clouds kind of heaven. The donuts have the softest interior, and I sometimes forget that they’re baked, not fried. Paired beautifully with the richness of chocolate and a faint flavour of coffee, these are amazing. The glaze is my favourite bit of these donuts. Cool, fresh and earthy, the mint brings everything together perfectly.
