Mmmmm………. Donuts!
Donuts are forking still on the rise in the Metro Phoenix area. There is even a bigger wHOLE world of them out there since last year. Bosa Donuts are a local chain that’s mushrooming everywhere all over the metro Phoenix area. Ten years back it was the yogurt shops opening up all over and soon after were the cup cake shops. I haven’t noticed new yogurt shops or cup cake shops opening but, donuts are another story. Over the past couple years Donuts are still on the Rise and still going strong.
Donuts are eaten in every culture out there and there sure a still a forking lot of love for donuts in the Metro Phoenix Area. When I did a search for donuts in the metro Phoenix area and the choices turned out over 2,800 places out there.
A successful Hot Dog Truck, now a successful brick and mortar Hot Dog Restauranteurs opened Rollover Donuts. They feature some unique gourmet flavors of donuts and if you don’t get there at opening time your selection is somewhat limited. I tried an Orange Pistachio Donut. It had great flavor but was less light and airy to what I’m used to. Still a tasty donut.
Beyond Donuts is a small cafe that offers a very limited selection of donuts along with breakfast burritos. The donut I tried was nicely prepared, seemed oil free and was tasty and accented with cinnamon crumbs.
Successful restaurant-owners and Chefs of the Welcome Diner opened up an Asian Inspired Fried Chicken Restaurant that also makes donuts called Welcome Chicken and Donuts. I had a Key Lime Filled Donut here and although it lacked enough filling this was the most delicious and almost perfect donut I tried the whole year. It was light and seemed oil free. The filling tasted really perfect with the right bite of lime. It was smooth and not too sweet but sweet enough.
A few of the newer donut shops I tried were what they call interactive donuts. The store makes you your donuts fresh to order and you have your choice of two of many toppings for your basic cake style donut. Desert Donuts is an Independent donut shop that offers the interactive style of donuts. The donuts I tried from there were hot and fresh as promised and they offered not all but mostly traditional toppings. I had the Boston Cream donut here. The cake donut was warm and fresh and seemed very light and delicate. They dipped it in fresh chocolate icing and spooned some filling on top.
Fractured Prune Doughnuts is a National Chain of the interactive donut. A new location recently opened near me so I wanted to try them. The donut I got was on the greasy side and I couldn’t identify the blackberry cobbler flavor I asked for. My donut had what they called glaze topping that tasted like flavored pancake syrup to me.
Fractured Prune Doughnuts are a favorite to many so that means there is a donut out there for every taste.
There is a wHole world of donuts out there. Don’t know what I’ll forking try next.
Donuts are Forking still on the Rise in the Metro Phoenix AZ Area.
