Viral Doughnuts that are worth the hype!
We thought it was about time that we went and tried some of those viral doughnut hot spots that EVERYBODY is raving about. It’s good to be up to date… we love a doughnut… so let’s get into it! We tried three places: Longboys, Doh’ hut and Bread Ahead, and we’re going to give you our honest thoughts on them so doughnut go anywhere!
Longboys
First up we tried Longboys - now people had been raving about them for a while and boy was it good! They use a light brioche dough which is beautifully light, it feels like you’re biting into a cloud. It’s not too heavy or sickly that sometimes can happen with other doughnuts. The lightness makes it really enjoyable and you don’t feel gross afterwards.
We got the chocolate hazelnut flavour and it was so good! We loved it, they had the perfect balance of flavour so it wasn’t too rich like some doughnuts can be but still had enough flavour to really tantalise that taste buds!
Fully recommend definitely worth the hype!
Doh’ Hut
We love it when a bakery does something unique and imaginative and so we were so inspired by Doh’hut who have brought together two of our favourite things. Doughnuts and Bagels to design ‘The Dagel’. We think this is so much fun and you know us over here at Insert name here We’re savory people through and through.
We decided to try a whole assortment of doughnuts, but we got the cream cheese and spring onion Dagel and do you know what for something that is half doughnut half bagel it really did taste like a bagel - but the texture was doughnutesque which gave it a light and springy quality.
The sweet doughnuts we tried as well were delicious and we really enjoyed trying them. They were flavourful, and not too rich and had a light texture to them.
Another one that we recommend.
Bread Ahead
Everyone has been banging on about Bread Ahead for a long time… and it’s taken us a while to investigate the hype as we haven’t really been convinced. But, we decided it was time and we went and tried Bread Ahead.
We started off with a chocolate and honeycomb and we actually found it to be quite dark and bitter in its flavour, it didnt’ have the lightness and sweetness that we would expect in our doughnuts. It almost felt like it had been overcooked in oil that wasn’t quite right… you kind of just feel that taste in your mouth. We were not impressed at all…
Bread Ahead is definitely NOT worth the hype.
