It took two tries driving over to the gourmet doughnut destination for K-W. The first time was a failure: at around 2 on a weekend afternoon, the doughnuts were sold out and the place was closed. -_- A few hours earlier, still on a Saturday, a return was underway and this time: success. That being said, there were several varieties in the display that were already gone, limiting choices to six (the only one not tried was the mint).

Doughnuts are sold individually, by the half- or whole-dozen. Luckily, there were enough doughnuts still available for the half. ;) These doughnuts included: three fritters, one Irish Cream, blueberry (the ring one), and the Boss (a.k.a. a Boston Cream).

Both the Boss and Irish Cream were filled doughnuts, and of the two, the Boss was the better one with a thick chocolate glaze and a hearty cream filling. It being flatter in shape, it didn't have the downright excessive whipped filling the Irish Cream had. The latter had more cream than dough, and though the glazed exterior and dough with a hint of Irish Cream was tasty, it was just too much. Especially when on their website looking for pricing (I forgot what it was), I stumbled across the FAQ and had it confirmed that the whipped filling wasn't real whipped cream (which wasn't the most savoury of discoveries). Now, that is a lot of non-dairy whip. :/

The blueberry was pretty tasty and the concept of a ring doughnut with the ring filled with blueberry and then topped with glaze, a sprinkling of streusel, and icing was a good one.

The highlight (but aren't they always? :P) was the fritter. Debrodniks adds the explanation that it's "not your average fritter". This was nicely fried with a nice thick caramel-like glaze on top. Good taste, great texture; I was assuming that it wasn't actually an apple fritter, but a fritter, and was going to say an apple fritter would have been better than just plain cinnamon dough, but... the website says it is an apple fritter. Um, but where were the apples? O.o

Good doughnuts with the potential to be better.
