Strawberry Hugs @ Yummy Donuts
Sugar ruuuuush. Rise and shine! Nothing like starting the morning with a tasty bit of frosted cake! I don’t do donuts for breakfast very often, but I love the complete affront to nutrition that they symbolize. It’s a breakfast for rebels. It says: “I’m not concerned about sissy things like calories or insulin. I eat what I want for breakfast because I’m an adult and I can. Take that, Mom!”
So if you’re going to basically eat cake for breakfast, you want to make sure it’s really tasty. Yummy Donuts is a luxe version of your local donuts shop with specialty offerings like the Candy Bar Donut and the Birthday Cake. The majority seem to be a version of a super soft cake donut finished with a whipped frosting and toppings. Their frosting is the standout. In fact, I really feel like if the breakfast market doesn’t work out for them, they should start a cupcake shop because this icing puts Sprinkle’s to shame. My favorite of the day was the Strawberry Hug: a blueberry cake donut with strawberry frosting and sprinkles. (As you can see in the picture above I was really excited about it and forgot to wait for the photographer to do his thing. Oh well.) But really, what kind of person couldn’t love a strawberry hug?
We also had to try the large cinnamon roll (in the name of being through food writers, of course). It’s a brioche type roll, very sweet and not incredibly remarkable. Wasn’t bad though; I’d eat it again.
Yummy Donuts seems to be really busy; by 10:00 a LOT of the varieties were sold out. (Damn early risers.) We’ll have to go back early because there were definitely some out-of-stock flavors I would have tried. They also carry some pretty good savory breakfast sandwiches, etc. that look a LOT better than the little kolaches that are standard fare. So there is an option for those of you who don’t like cake before noon.

Oh my Lord! I’m getting a sugar rush just looking at this!
ohhhhhhh man i love donuts so much.
sometimes if i feel bad for having tons of sugar so early in the morning, i just have a donut later in the afternoon instead. the afternoon donut is one of the great luxuries of life, like swimming pools or reality shows on bravo.
must try out this place, looks delicious.
I’d try out an apple fritter. Good textural contrast. The funkier doughnuts range from novelty to good. None of the ingredients are exceptional though.
