NYC review: Doughnut Plant

[random_walker]

4*/5.

This is a sort-of Soho Lower East Side landmark, a hip independent bakery and storefront owned & operated by a passionate doughnutier from a family of bakers.

..TMI on the coconut. Although for some reason this does render your description more compelling, and thus the donut itself more interesting. I don't know what it is about me that would eat it just on the chance I could claim "This is nothing like semen, it is more like _____." Possibly some kind of perversion...

I love cake donuts. Good raised donuts are, well, good. But there seems to be too much room for variation in raised quality. Cake donuts are like cake but in a convenient eating-form. I suppose for decorating, raised would be superior, but cake, to me, shows more artistry in the creation, flavors, etc.

That's become my opinion too, especially with "old-fashioned"-type cake donuts like this: http://comps.fotosearch.com/comp/DNV/DNV191/glazed-sour-cream_~010731_0900_0040.jpg

I think Doughnut Plant has, however, perfected the raised donut and in this case, I prefer that.
