First, I prefer cake doughnuts and second, the glaze didn't stand out. Then I saw their new cake doughnuts at Zabar's today. Could it be, a gourmet cake donought? Is it worth a try? Or do you think the Donut Pub and Cupcake Cafe are better?

They're big and messy to eat. When I was growing-up, they described donuts like this as Polish-style. We used to get them on 2nd Avenue, sometimes with gold leaf on them. I find them to be oily and a texture like biting into wet wax paper. I'd try the cake ones, though. I used to love the ones from that market in the Hamptons (Dresden's Market? sp?). For awhile they sold them on the platforms at Penn Station, I believe.

Oh, those were the days...There doesn't seem to be anything like that in NYC....

I'm not wild about Donut Pub or Cupcake Cafes, either. I save myself for Coffee 'An in Westport, CT.

I haven't seen a "rave review" in some time.

I prefer the original Vahlrona Chocolate donuts but the blackout cake donuts are also awesome! Sun Sep 10 13:28:42 -0700 2006 1244009 10173 guttergourmet
