Doughnuts so unappealing looking I wouldn’t eat one. Think about that for a moment.
@Leucrotta Good lord, are they made out of pebbles and soot?! D:
@zebratron2084 just something really hits all the completely unappealing buttons here. I think the camera dulls how shiny the glaze is.
@Leucrotta Eh, I'd probably eat 'em if I were depressed or hungry enough, but yeah, those sure look like 2–2.5-star Dunkin's-level donuts to me.
Dammit, now I wanna go out to the fancy-ass 5-star donut place down here in NOLA, but it's all the way across town. It's basically our Voodoo/Psycho Donuts except they don't share their weird delusion that cereal is a gourmet ingredient. :p
@zebratron2084 the best doughnuts here so far have been at Larsen’s in Ballard, most notably that they do cherry fritters, though honestly everything they do is pretty good. I’m kinda unimpressed by Top Pot, they’re usually nicer than these; I have yet to try Ninth & Hennepin or my parents’ favorite, Family Doughnuts by Northgate.
@zebratron2084 lessee; Rodeo apparently got subsumed to Cupcake Royale, which I haven’t been to; I wanted to visit General Porpoise but they were closed when I visited Pioneer Square last.
@Leucrotta Ooh, 9th and Hennepin is real good. Is Rodeo Donuts still around? I also liked General Porpoise in Cap Hill, though their hours are bizarre and they only have interesting gourmet-type varieties once in a while.
