Donut Monster is this cafe-style pizzeria with a couple locations in and around (if you consider Guelph "around") Hamilton. Um, yes, I did say pizzeria. Actually, I was here to pick some pizza for someone and noticed that the "bread bar" component of this business includes a decent selection of classic home-baked goodies that include butter tarts, cookies, squares etc.
The worker was recommending the salted caramel brownie ($4.95), so I thought I'd give it a try, even though it probably wouldn't be my top pick otherwise. Especially since I found it quite expensive for a brownie; dine-in pictures show it topped with caramel sauce and ice cream... not sure if that's included in the price and you just suffer the take-out blues, but on its own, it seemed a bit much. And a bit much in terms of decadence. Chunks of slightly chewy, slightly crunchy caramel on top of a rich caramel sauce-coated brownie. Good, great texture for a brownie - but honestly, the bread pudding looks so much better!
