New Vincent Van Doughnut Location in The Grove!

My mom is in town and staying with me for a few weeks, so this morning I convinced her to join me for some pre-work doughnuts!

I made sure to wear my Fitbit and put it in the foreground of the pic so that everyone knows I'm actually a very healthy person that just happens to eat donuts ;)


I'm super happy about the new Vincent Van Doughnut location in The Grove! I work in the CIC buildings right by IKEA and as the official self-dubbed Party Planning Committee of my company, I can plan company outings here now!




We ordered a Coffee Chocolate Doughnut and a variety of Doughnut Holes - cinnamon sugar & glazed. 

We also got a savory breakfast pocket with Ham, Egg and Cheese. It's nice that they serve more breakfasty items in addition to doughnuts.

Breakfast pocket, fresh donut holes, and some seriously delicious donuts

I liked the cinnamon donut holes better than the glazed.
There are even gluten free options! 


Prior to this, I'd only had Vincent Van Doughnut from the actual van or from Straub's, the uppity grocery store. I must say the shop is just so much better for many reasons -  super fresh, lots of variety, regular hours, coffee. I love the vibes in the new location and will definitely be back soon! That coffee doughnut was to die for.

Our whole order was only $10 and these doughnuts are huge so I took half with me for later. Definitely shareable!

Fried Croissant or Fried Danish Cruller?

Image
Michael recently developed a fondness for Fried Croissants and of course they are delicious. So I get it. But I feel one of my favorite types of doughnuts is being overlooked- the Fried Danish Cruller - the figure 8 shaped doughnut with twisty middle. And my main question: do these actually exist in Denmark? So we taste tested them from Schnuck's bakery one day & agreed the Fried Croissant was better. I still think the Danish from Federhoffer's tops it, but will have to do further research to be sure. If you know anywhere that makes delicious Fried Croissants or Danish Crullers, please comment below!

Beignets in STL - Bar 360 (Downtown)

Image
What's a beignet? "Beignet, synonymous with the English "fritter", is the French term for a pastry made from deep-fried choux pastry. Beignets can also be made from other types of dough, including yeast dough."- Wikipedia Thanks, Wikipedia! It's basically a fried little donut covered in powdered sugar. Sometimes they come with a dipping sauce that is chocolatey. Bar 360 in Downtown STL has beignets and they are a great sharable treat. They are bite sized and airy, like little pillows. These beignets tasted like they had cinnamon involved. They came out hot, but I almost liked them better cold. For $7, they give you a lot of beignets! We had 6 friends trying to conquer this plate and could barely do it. We also ate pizza, though. I read some Yelp complaints that the beignets weren't all cooked the same (some doughy, others crispy), but I didn't have this issue. They were good, but it was really all about the sauce, for me. They

Travel Edition - Pikes Peak "World Famous Donuts" at 14,000 ft

Image
The sign says they are "World Famous", so I had to break my gluten free streak for 1 bite. Maybe 2. But honestly, they are really only good if you dunk them in coffee. Otherwise, they were really oily. Kind of crunchy on the outside and more like a french fry than a donut. Or a funnel cake minus the powdered sugar. Why don't they add some powdered sugar?! There's an idea. According to the Rocky Mountain Food Report , doughnuts have been sold on the mountain for around 125 years... "They’re high-altitude [cake] doughnuts — they can only be made above 14,000 feet. … We just make high-altitude adjustments to the recipe. And of course we do have our secret ingredient, which we can’t reveal, sorry.” I'm sorry, too, Pikes Peak. Maybe you were having an off day, but I wasn't impressed. I guess I'll have to wait until I'm at 14,000 ft elevation again to give them a second try. ** Note: Oddly enough, after writing this, I'm totally craving
