The delicious, disastrous and daring days of the donut world
The third, and final, stop of the 606 Trail Donut Crawl is Donut Delight. Located on California, you can spot it by the colorful mural on the side of the building. It shares a space with a hand car wash, but whether you walk, ride, or drive here, it’s definitely worth the trip.

Our second stop on the 606 trail is Ipsento 606 on Western Ave. This unique establishment is coffee shop by day, bar by night.

Another Apple Fritter is on the blog today. To be honest, I don’t even know how to categorize this. I chose”raised (yeast) donut” for the Stan’s Apple Fritter, but I’m having second thoughts.
