I do-nut know about you but my #FRYday's
are a lot brighter with doughnuts! They are amongst the most loved treats
around the world. Almost every culture has their own version of them. I just
can't get enough of those soft American-style glazed ring doughnuts! The Sydney
doughnut scene has just gotten more sweet with the arrival of Grumpy Donuts! I've been wanting to try
their doughnuts since they released them weeks ago across Sydney at cafes like
The Wedge Espresso, Orto Trading Co and Bread & Butter.
Owners Elise and Scott are
doughnut enthusiasts who has travelled the world and done their research of
these loved treats. Shortly after refining their doughnuts, they unleashed the
force that we've come to know as Grumpy Donuts. I first heard about them
through my homegurl Alana (check out
her blog post about Grumpy here). I was so stoked
to have finally tried them myself last Friday! Here's what went down.
 |
| Maple bacon doughnut bar |
I went for the maple bacon doughnut bar first! First thing I noticed was that the
actual doughnut was soft (same goes for the other doughnut flavours) which is a
good start. I could taste distinct maple flavour from the icing and it was
perfectly complimented by the very smoky candied bacon. This was my favourite
flavour amongst the others! It was also huge!
 |
| Buttered toast |
The buttered
toast doughnut was also exceptional! I loved the contrast of the glazed and
crumbed toasted brioche. The brown butter glaze tasted like a combo of caramel
and butter.
 |
| Original Glazed |
The vanilla bean flavour in the glazing
used for the original glazed doughnut
came through nicely.
 |
| Vanilla oreo ring doughnut |
If you love cookies and cream, then the vanilla oreo ring doughnuts are for
you!
 |
| Peanut butter pretzel |
They do not hold back on the peanut
butter used for their peanut butter
pretzel doughnut. The peanut butter icing just goes down well with the
crushed pretzels and dulce de leche drizzle.
 |
| Caramel potato chips doughnut |
I thought the caramel potato chips doughnut was going to be too salty because of
Ruffles potato chips and salted caramel icing. But the flavours were
well-balanced. The dulce de leche drizzle may have also played a part keeping
the flavours in harmony.
 |
| The Grumpy |
The
Grumpy doughnut has neon pink coloured vanilla
icing and candy sprinkles. I can't help but think of the Simpsons when I look
at it!
