Doughnut Testing: The Doughnut Plant, NY

It's no secret that we are mildly obsessed with doughnuts.  From The Holy Donut in Portland, Maine to Federal Donuts in Philadelphia, we've had some pretty stellar ones.  So it was only fitting to pay a visit to the Doughnut Plant in New York City and have a taste test.

Since 1994, the Doughnut Plant has been serving the best kind of carbs from the Lower East Side of Manhattan.   They offer round and cake varieties plus square and doughseeds (their version of a munchkin) - this is a tough choice. We had four of them.  And we wanted so many more.

We actually tried to have just three - the Vanilla Bean, the Brooklyn Blackout and the Cinnamon Sugar:

But then had to add one final masterpiece - the Tres Leches.

The results? All amazing. Best doughnuts yet. Better yet these doughnuts have all natural ingredients and no eggs. 

My favorite was the Cinnamon Sugar, traditional and perfect. Brooklyn Blackout was my second favorite, it's hard not love a chocolate doughnut. The Tres Leches was too milky for me (I know it's milk-based doughnut) and the Vanilla Beach was too sweet. But honestly we're just being picky here. Incredible across the board.

Thirsty? Coffee, espresso and the freshest milk you can find from the Battenkill Valley Creamery are also available to wash them down. 

Until our next Burger (or maybe doughnut)
