Wild Blueberry Lemon – Downstate Donuts

Today is the fourth and final donut from my Downstate Donuts haul. It's mind-boggling that I ordered these in May (I spread them out for variety on the blog), it is now August, and the number of COVID-19 cases continues to climb. I'm also now working from home for the rest of 2020, so that…

Strawberry Rosé – Downstate Donuts

Once again we're back with Downstate Donuts. This is the third donut I tried when I received my delivery back in May. I haven't had a Rosé donut since Glazed and Infused (RIP) released their creation in 2017. Since this also included strawberry I was very excited to try this donut. Appearance: 4 Pretty light pink…

Lemon Mascarpone – Downstate Donuts

Original – Downstate Donuts

**8/2/19 UPDATE** Downstate Donuts contacted me on 7/29 and said that they think I may have mistakenly been given the sweet potato maple donut. This review reflects my experience where I was under the impression I was eating the original vanilla glazed donut.  Hopefully, I can try an original glazed in the near future and…

Donut Fest 2019 Recap

2019 marks my sixth Donut Fest and every year I'm always surprised. No two years are the same and it's always a great time. The festivities were held where it's been held since its first year: Chop Shop. Again, it was crowded and left me thinking "why don't they move it to a bigger space…
