Bun Appétit Donuts

The “everything roll” donut’s top half is covered in tasty, fresh toppings that, unfortunately, fall off easily. Eat it tilting one side up if you can! I’d have liked more green onion in the cream cheese, and wow, there was SO MUCH CREAM CHEESE. It does approximate the everything bagel experience well, but with a much higher cream cheese-to-bread ratio than normal. Tasty, but too much. I’d recommend eating the passion mango donut with a fork. It’s so messy, but the vibrant, bold flavors of the passionfruit filling, mango glaze, and coconut panna cotta were awesome. The donut had a good amount of filling, not overwhelming like the everything bagel’s cream cheese. Nice bite to the jellied mango bits on top, too. I contemplated whether the passionfruit mango donut's toppings were overkill . . . Nah, they just made the donut that much tastier to consume. 👍 The coconut’s velvety texture contrasted nicely with the punchier tropical flavors. I also got the mocha bun, which is another brioche-based pastry. Its crackly top layer reminded me of the freshest conchas and was texturally pleasing. Though it’s a light filling, that smattering of extra bitterness and chocolate and the bun's butt

this place was the perfect stop in the middle of my long bike ride yesterday. i had it on my radar and was going to be near, so donuts for lunch it was! they were sold out of about half of their options around 2pm but had plenty left, and they were still deliciously fresh then by then. i grabbed their last blueberry cream donut (love a filled brioche) and a caprese bun for something salty. and despite being a total coffee snob (i make my own espresso at home and even roast my own coffee beans in my kitchen!) i tried a gibraltar aka a cortado. i'm surprised i got a pic of the the caprese before i inhaled it. they warmed it up for me, and there was a mouth-watering ripe tomato in every bite. little pesto/basil with the crispy cheese. wow. perfectly crunchy and also juicy. delicious the blueberry cream was awesome. the flavor isn't too sweet, nice light fry with a ring on the outside, good gluten development... all markers of a superbly made donut. and the coffee! wow! when a bakery is good at their food options, i don't necessarily expect great coffee, but they carry verve which is a winner, and a crowd pleaser. not too dark, but still solid enough to hold up to a baked good. milk

Came here later in the day. The regular donut style passion fruit one is quite dense and cake-like which made it dry. The cream ones are better. The ube flavor cream inside was ok-ish and the donut part was kinda like Leonard’s malasada style so it was good. The guava cream donut was more firm and little dry, but the cream cheese helped it. I wish the cream part tasted more like guava. None were overly sweet. The savory one I tried was the Caprese one. It wasn’t super flavorful. The bread softened up at home when heated but it still was kinda dense and dry. I didn’t try coffee. Staff were pleasant, but the one that helped me didn’t seem super knowledgeable when I asked questions. My total spent was $25. If you go, get one with cream.

Got the black sesame, lemon blueberry, Ube and cookies and creme. They have a lot of unique flavors, doughy texture, very pungent fillings, the lemon blueberry was my favorite! Ube was popular with my family.

Love their coffee! And the employees are very nice. Don’t usually get a donut. I have had a few baked items which were okay for the price. But immaculate to look at.
