The day you posted, cc, one of my NYC BFFs, and #doughnutlover, happened to visit Doughnuttery, and sassed to me about it not being open before 10AM! Crazy!

I think they’re cute.

Primo’s really is somethin! I remember loving their cake doughnuts and buttermilk bars. I will try Ronald’s next time I’m in Vegas. Dough is kinda fancy, which I like immensely.

I don’t need fancy glazes. In fact, I’m not a fan of Doughnut Plant at all, which has great frostings but to my taste, greasy and not well-textured dough. The test to me of a good doughnut is how plain ones or very simple sugared doughnuts taste. By this standard, Primo’s in L.A. or Ronald’s in Las Vegas have it all over anything I’ve tried in Manhattan.

I definitely prefer larger rings with interesting glazes, but these aren’t awful by any means. I think NYC is a great doughnut town. Have you visited Dough in Brooklyn? #SWOON

The texture of the cake doughnuts aren’t right — there’s no crust, no resistance from the pastry when you bite down on it. And the dry sugars just aren’t as satisfying to me as a well-made frosting or glaze. It pains me to say it, but NYC just isn’t a great doughnut town.
