The second stop on our grand donut tour of NYC was a chicken/bakery place. Awesome combo. My sister and BIL had been raving about the honey butter, and it was about lunch time, so I said we might as well get some protein in. We ordered two donuts and the chicken on a biscuit sandwich. The honey butter was as advertised.

The donuts were awesome. The Drunken donut was there special for March and St. Patrick's Day and was made with some stout beer. It was huge, very dark in color, and had a very rich flavor. It was a cake donut and may have been my favorite from the tour. It almost tasted more savory than sweet.

The coffee cream donut was a raised, filled donut, that was possibly the tallest donut I have ever seen. I mean, besides the large novelty ones. It was almost spherical and the dough was quite spongy. Almost like an angel food or sponge cake. The filling was delicious and it was frosted with chocolate and had crushed up nuts as a sprinkle on top.

5/5 for the Drunken, 4/5 for the Coffee Cream
