Ambrosia Bakery

What: Jelly Filled

Where: 272 Naugatuck Ave, Milford CT

When: Saturday, July 19th, 2014

While back on the east coast in July I was the runner for two of my favorite coworkers' wedding. They were doing a dessert bar so I went to Costco, Whole Foods, and Ambrosia Bakery to pick stuff  up the morning of the wedding.

1. Costco on a Saturday morning is super busy.

2. Costcos apparently do not believe in labeling aisles.

3. Telling someone not to panic yet while they are waiting for a preorder at Whole Foods is somewhat panic inducing.

4. Count the orders before leaving in case they forgot a box of six dozen Cannolis.

But, silver lining, I got one of the best jelly donuts I've ever had. Like Frangelli's fresh-filled good.

I couldn't even tell you what flavor the jelly was, maybe some sort of blackberry? Delicious. The dough was awesome too, not too sweet to balance out the jelly. 5/5. Would definitely go back and try out some other flavors.

Olympic donuts

What: Chocolate frosted cake donut

Where: Milford, CT (First Connecticut review!!)

When: Friday, July 18th 2014

The 2nd wedding of my July wedding jaunt in the northeast was in Connecticut and I was luckily able to get a ride to and from it with my sister and brother in law. After normal NYC traffic and, annoyingly, normal Connecticut traffic we got to town around lunchtime. After some cheap sandwiches my sister found a donut place to check out on their way to dropping me off.

I had a chocolate frosted cake donut that had some decent frosting but was kind of dry. My sister had a chocolate cake donut that ended up having hints of cherry in it and my brother in law had a chocolate frosted cake donut like me, but his had coconut. The donuts where probably all about a 2/5.

The place was pretty cute with a large, U-shaped counter and a heavy focus on coffee products as we'll, but no one tried any of those.

The second CT review will be for a far yummier donut later this week. /teaser

I feel like I was just here

I mean Boston. This morning (6am!) I'm on my way out of Boston again. Got here Thursday for a wedding (bridesmaid, pink dress) and it's been a little crazy. The rehearsal was Thursday so as soon as I got in, it was wedding time! I stopped in the bus station for some fuel though, Honey Dew donuts. I has tried honey dew YEARS ago when I first came up here for college and hadn't been impressed but that was obviously predonut blog. So I got a breakfast sandwich and three donuts to take for the ride. I didn't eat any of them. Busy two days. So now I'm back at South Station and trying it again. But it's too early to eat said donut. So review to come!
