The Donuttery

Pistachio donut is appealingly out of the ordinary for anyone accustomed to cake donuts. Exquisite, fresh and piney, tinted green, and all at oncebuttery, light, a tad crumbly, nuttish and precisely balanced . The texture goes from firm to feathery, the flavors building in intensity with a whisper of sweetness that allows the character of the pistachio to reign . It straddles the territory between crisp-edged, pistachio cake and grainy marzipan truffle. A donut you will want to lock yourself in a sensory cocoon because you’ve come upon something unusual that you want to get to know better. @lawragagliardi

If I were forced to choose one donut to eat every day, thiswould be a contender . Allowed two, I’d devour by the greedy handful . Something about the primitive cleverness of peanut butter , strawberry jam , and fried dough is irritatingly Edenic . The PB&J sandwich of our elementary years, packaged in brown paper bags was efficient and economical, comforting and natural. It resonates with us all . An homage to the iconic PB&J, rendered to produce a series of sublime sensations, from the silky peanut butter cream to the bounce of the pillowy dough to the tangy strawberry jelly perfectly portioned to temper the unctuousness of peanut butter interrupted ever so slightly by a taste bud-triggering crunch. A donut that is irresistible just by the pang of nostalgia. . @fk7_myk

Improbable but undeniable: malasadas are having a moment . More than a trend, Hawaiians have been enamored with this hole-less donut for over a century when immigrants from Portugal popularized the treat and intrinsically linked it to their new Hawaiian home. Traditionally made with naturally leavened sourdough enriched with egg and cream and slightly denser than a donut. Our version errs on the side of brioche , fermented for optimal flavor and texture. It’s exceptionally complex, light yet satisfyingly substantial, chewy and stretchy, soft and moist, with a crumb so tender, the crackly edges wobble to the piping of Chantilly cream . Each bite bears the full impact of Madagascar vanilla bean and melts on contact. I suspect that a renaissance is afoot. . @az2hawaii

Trying new things, without always knowing what it is you’re trying, is disorienting , but certain ingredients serve as comforting through-lines. Donuts reinterpreted, deconstructed and reconstructed on wheat-less, ancient grain flours . A testament to both how comfortable we have become with the roster of flours and starches necessary for gluten-free baking, and how far gluten-free baking has come . These darling cakes are buttery and dense, but not heavy and have a long finish that dissolves on your tongue, leaving an ever so lightly satiny trail of nutty, rich and earthy flavors. Gluten free cakes that taste like effortless opulence. . @letsdodessert

The French Cruller is an art . And it’s dough sets its character, determines its structure and shape and contributes to its texture and taste. The dough defies donut logic with a thick, spongy, golden paste that looks like an unredeemable mess , but with patience, comes together into a glossy batter when dropped into hot oil, the steam aerates the inside to form gloriously fluted, hallow, custardy rings . All thanks to a strange, decidedly old-fashioned pâte à choux dough elevated with a bit of rye flour that adds a lovely earthy, nutty flavor. Lightly crusty on the exterior with tender, fragrant pockets of air on the interior. A simple pleasure in the latest haute donut incarnation meant not to impress you, only to bring you joy. The best part is, it does both.

When you eat a bear claw , you tether yourself to magic beyond the hole . There are probably a dozen iterations from diner counter types made with chewy, heavy dough to polished patisseries’ puff pastry that enclose a soft cloud of vanilla-tinged pastry cream. Among the handful, the humble traditional touchstone steals the scene , light and airy, laced with crisp edges of caramelized, macerated Golden Delicious apples thickly scented with sun-dried cinnamon bark. Sweet, tart, and just right. A modest, private affair you’ll want to enjoy to yourself. @lisaeatsla

Nothing embodies the summer quite like a nitro cold brew coffee with pockets of nitrogen gas cascading like stout tap to produce a rich, choclate-y taste and luxurious mouthfeel like milkshake, eliminating the need for milk . Its low-carb content is an open invitation to go the length of the sunset and drink two . And for those long sun-baked afternoons , a magenta-and-orange ode to brightness anchored by the floral savor of iced tea infusions . A crisp and lightly s...weet refresher that combines the two tropical fruit flavors of mango and dragonfruit suffused with pitaya’s intense and floral aroma. While the grapefruit mangonade , an olfactory herald waft of citrus peel is dense and disarming. Grapefruit’s puckeringly sour and honeyed tartness is clear and lovely. Call it an urban oasis of sorts, a sip of matcha should be a calming daily ritual . That vivid green powder with earthy, lingering umami aftertaste served foamed and cold on a sweltering day is addictive.

This here is the creative synergy between the two disciplines of craft coffee and craft cake that rises to the level of art . Everything meticulously crafted by hand. @nevaeh.coffee is a reminder that gone are those days of simply choosing between dark, light, and medium roast . A cold-brew that has the full range of mouthfeel and sweetness with all the floral notes of coffee, but also hints of passion fruit, mango, and a butterscotch finish. A modernist inspired coffee concoction prepared and manipulated so precisely, you’d sip in delicious disbelief . A fitting companion for the pistachio cake that is nutty, light and lush; combined with the lingering tendrils of near religious natural awe. @rickyleevi can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

Memorial Day asks us to move back in time and imagine the men and women who have fallen for America, the lives that were cut short. Today we dwell on those who have died in wars past and war not quite overour own lost contemporaries. In whatever the new tomorrow looks like, friends, my sincerest wish that you are safe, you are loved, and that you are hopeful as we honor our heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. . @fanuelugh

Whipped cream-filled donut is one of the most interesting, delectable desserts in the donutteur’s repertory. There are only three elements, none revolutionary . A donut so basic it taste natural and effortless, one you can imagine eating with your eyes closed . Just dark chocolate covered, pillowy round with an oozie whipped cream center that recalls convenience food Cool Whip , that exultant midnight companion we all secretly love . No sneaky touches, this donut is known so deeply that the process of making it could be left to the memory and finesse of our fingers and it would still be the best whipped cream donut you’ve ever tasted . But until it is the best whipped cream-filled we’ve ever tasted, it is not finished. . OPEN 24 HOURS MEMORIAL DAY

Sprinkles are not merely decorations. They are candy , after alla sweet, whimsical indulgence that crackles on the tongue with a waxy crunch. A useful time capsule for the taste of my youth. They give a little bit of extra sparkle and pizzazz that you sometimes can’t get with just icing alone . A cake with sprinkles that’s simple, with innocent flavor, redolent of flour, butter, and gently sweet hints of vanilla. With a texture like that of firm but moist pound cake in colorful lavender, citrine, turquoise , rose, and every color of the rainbow that feels irresistibly edible, a fitting love letter to another humble starch. . @fk7_myk
