The Shoe Bakery

Sorry for the long hiatus, I would like to say I gave up donuts for my weight, but I just got lazy about updating. I definitely have still been eating donuts...

But this isn't one you eat! This is for wearing only! Check out their website and then droll over some lovely footwear.

New donuts to try

So many different types of donuts out there now! Besides the donut croissant hybrid (which Olsen's does amazing) now the local grocery store has a donut cinnamon roll! Adding it to the list to try!

Last Day of School Donuts

Made it to another last day of school. Treated myself to BOGO Hurts yesterday after finals were all done. And then got another Hurts donut this morning for the last "Friday Donuts" with the math department. Two weeks till the summer job starts!

Hurt's Donut with Boiler Room Brewery

A couple weeks ago Hurt's did a special donut with the brewery located in the basement of their building. Saw it on facebook, headed up.

But this is what I remember about the experience: the two women in front of me ordering mixed dozens as sloooooow as humanly possible. Seriously, woman #1 took at least 5-10 minutes. Was woman #2 figuring out what she wanted in that time? Nope! She took just as long to walk back and forth in front of the two giant display cases (because Hurt's has a bazillion options).

I couldn't even tell you what kind of donut it was, but it was the one on the right. And you can see the orange peel in the glaze. It was pretty good though. I look forward to more collaborations!

Sehnert Bakery

You guys, I totally forgot about this review! It's from last July when Hubby and I went to McCook as part of our Nebraska Passport summer travels. But I don't remember the donut! So this is definitely a non review...

Kitchen Sink

What: Chocolate cookie! And Pumpkin Spice Latte woopie pie

Where: Kitchen Sink Cookies, 27th and O, Lincoln NE

When: Saturday, September 3rd, 2016

I've had a lot of nonreviews recently, or reviews of nondonuts, I haven't had many new donut places to try recently. I guess I need to travel more! Here is a donut cookie from one of my favorite cookie places, Kitchen Sink Cookies. They make amazing cookies and have some first class decorators.

The chocolate cookie looked better than it tasted but the pumpkin latte was AMAZING. Super soft woopie pie, the coffee frosting in the middle, and the chocolate ganache was a great combination. I can't wait to try another one! 5/5 for sure

Friday Donuts

My new job is pretty sweet. And I just made a terrible pun. We get donuts on Fridays! We rotate who brings them in, I'm in a couple weeks. And last week we even had two donut days because it was someone's birthday on Thursday. Makes working with high schoolers a little easier :-)

Ramona Susan's

So, technically not a donut but a cake. And technically not one that I've tasted. But I thought you guys would get a kick out of the picture anyways. (And btw, my sister's bakery is in Philadelphia PA if anyone is every there and wants to check it out!)

Don Leden's Cafe & Donuts

While in the small town of Stromsburg (Swedish Capital of Nebraska) for a Passport Tour stop, my eye found the local donut place. Because of course I always see donut signs! Sadly, it was closed. One of my favorite closed signs, and I hope this means we can check it out in the fall!

Dunkins

The donut that started it all, maple raised from Dunkin Donuts. And it's still one of my favorites. Probably because it is just so basic. They opened a new Dunkin Donuts in the library at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln, and they had a tray full of maples when I stopped in. Heaven. Although they didn't have any sandwiches, which made me a little sad. Oh well.

Hurt's Donuts!

This place has been blowing up facebook for months, I got my shirt back in April, and they finally opened on June 27th. At 5am. Now, they did invite people to camp out and were giving away prizes, and maybe I'm not the best donut spokesperson, but we didn't camp out. I'm going to blame the giant scab on my knee from face planting so hard while running last week the bruise on my chin makes it look like I have a goatee.

We did set our alarm for 5am (opening time), threw on some clothes, and drove down there. We arrived right after the crowd that camped out had been in and out, but the news lady was still there waiting to interview more people I suppose. We got two donuts (to be reviewed later) and lots of pictures of the inside. Very well decorated and over the top, and I cannot wait to go back. So many donuts to try!

What gets me up before 6am?

New donuts to try!

Review and more info on the Hurt's Donut grand opening later. Back to bed!

(This was supposed to get posted yesterday morning when we actually got back from our 5am run to Hurt's, but apparently my phone stopped uploading it when I fell back asleep. Oops)

Hurt's Donut Company

Hurt's Donut Company is a new donut place coming to Lincoln soon. But I'm not sure when and I'm not sure where yet. I do know that they have been driving these sweet Emergency Donut Vehicle around Lincoln and I was able to find it the other weekend in downtown! They were selling some shirts that work as a wearable coupon for BOGO donuts whenever you wear it.

I've seen some pictures of their donuts in other midwestern college towns and I cannot wait till they open in Lincoln! Obviously, review forthcoming :-)

District Doughnut

This was almost my first DC review. But it's just a bunch of pictures from a cool looking donut place in DC. I guess I will have to try it out when I'm out there in March and write a real review.

This may be my favorite doughnut display case.

Seriously, were they good? What kinds did they try? I HAVE NO IDEA!

Not sure how I feel about this. Does the whole world need to see me shoving a doughnut into my mouth? Oh wait, I write a blog about doughnuts. You've probably already seen my #doughface

So fancy!

I especially like that you can see my friend and his girlfriend in this photo, they were so nice to go and try the donuts and send me some pictures BUT NOT TELL ME HOW THEY WERE!

Tailgating and Donuts

I meant to post this yesterday, sorry it's belated!
For all those confused, this is one of my very best friends, with his box of $1 Krispy Kreme donuts from the promotion a couple weeks ago, tailgating with his brothers at an Orlando City soccer game. And I meant to post it yesterday, because it was his 30th birthday! And he spent it flying back from China where he came in 3rd place in the World Monopoly Tournament, but that's another store for another time. He has promised me a guest review in soon, got the pictures for it today and the donuts all look delicious! Can't wait to read about it!

Coffee and Donuts

There is a new cookie company in Lincoln that has amazingly soft cookies. They sell them at farmer's market's mostly, but are starting to do business hours at their community kitchen. We decided to get some tiny cookies to bring to different 4th of July bbq's, and while we were there picking them up we grabbed their "Coffee and Donuts" cookie to try. (BTW, the tiny cookies were a special order I did via facebook message, so easy! I love when companies work with you and make it so easy to patronize them!) 

The Coffee and Donuts cookie is described as "Nutmeg, coffee, good morning" and tasted kind of like a snickerdoodle to me. With yummy frosting. It wasn't my favorite of their cookies (that may be the Lucky Strike) but it was good. I know we'll go back for more, but I want to try more of their flavors before I would get another Coffee and Donut one.

(check them out on facebook)

Celebratory Donuts

If you're in NYC, check out Doughnut Plant!

(And then report back! What flavor is this? How was it? Did they even have any left?)

Taco Bell Donuts

Facebook just alerted me to this craziness:

Taco Bell Cap'n Crunch Donut Holes

And I'm actually kind of excited to try them. At the bottom of the article they just mention coming out in Bakersfield, CA, but I hope if they do well all the Taco Bells get them. I better keep my eye out!

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!

Free donuts!
