this list ranges from intriguing (Cherry Bomb) to horrifying (Nutella Salt)

I should start a hipster paczki shop.

Mark Trombino's Donut Shop is also a great band name

cmon man there has to be a "jimmy eat kruller" on there somewhere

fucking lost opportunities man

cuet

what are those sliced things next to the donuts that look like either treacle tart or burned pizza crusts?

current favorite donut:

Jimmy Eat Swirl
TBA

here come the bear claws

HEY!
the cream of boston is mushy

i will not do research on other mark trombino-related albums for pun-making purposes

Donna Rouge is doing proper on site research on the donuts themselves and must report further.

it's a thankless task, if you don't count all those people thanking me for eating there

cmon man there has to be a "jimmy eat kruller" on there somewhere

he's got "dag nutty" and "rites of sprinkles" despite his lack of a DC connection so i think "kruller threat" is an option

to horrifying (Nutella Salt)

^wtf this sounds like the best possible donut

Nutella and a dash of olive oil inside our bismark donut, topped with a sugar glaze and a pinch of maldon salt.

there's also this:

Strawberry Distortion
Goat cheese, strawberry jam, fresh basil, and a bit of arugula inside our bismark donut, topped with a sugar glaze and balsamic reduction.

IS THIS A DONUT OR A SALAD

I could be down with even goat cheese and jam in a donut, but the arugula puts it beyond the pale.

there are worse ways one could burn Jimmy Eat World money than experimental donutry

exactly. i don't think i can eat a donut now knowing that it could have had nutella, olive oil, and salt.
xp

i now live about a mile down the road from this shop

(it still hasn't opened yet, but i will report back when it does)

Yes, yes you will.

hey so i went here today!

the line wrapped around inside the store so it took about 25 minutes to get served. i got the nutellavision (nutella/olive oil/sea salt) and the jets to basil (goat cheese/strawberry jam/basil) doughnuts, both really good, slightly preferred the latter. the donuts themselves not too heavy/doughy which i appreciated. total cost $7.00. would eat again but only as a special once-in-a-while thing probably.

Oh my god the menu. http://donutfriend.com/site/index.php/menu

Drive Like Jelly! Fudgegazi!

So yesterday Donut Friend fired many employees for attempting to unionize...

which is a major bummer as this was always on my list when passing through HP.

trombino denied it vigorously on the instagram, idk how to take it

Yeah, need some more details here.

The person who was leading the brigade on twitter had some questionable tweets in the past.

Definitely waiting for some more info before permanently scratching this one off the list.

Compassion Fruit (with half of proceeds going to a different charity every month) is definitely the best donut I've ever had.

Current and former employees, as well as Donut Friend owner Mark Trombino, say that the now-viral twitter post, which has garnered tens of thousands of likes, is false

https://la.eater.com/2021/1/22/22242875/donut-friend-los-angeles-union-unionize-tweet-boycot-fired-highland-park-news

The potential unionizers acknowledge that the inciting tweet isn’t accurate, and that it’s far from the complicated story of the past few months at Donut Friend.

A year ago, we started talking to each other about what we liked about Donut Friend, what we wanted to improve, and COVID concerns when the pandemic hit.

We presented a letter of our concerns to our boss in September and asked to have a meeting. He said we were “being shitty”.
