Delicious Dinkies!

P1010062 Yesterday, Cathy walked by Ryan's desk and caught a glimpse of the Dinky Donuts ad that he was working on for the paper. This spurred a chain reaction that resulted in us ordering a sampler dozen and a bag of the Minis. You have to order them a day in advance, but they're delivered. Needless to say, I was more excited than usual to get to the office this morning.

We were all anxiously awaiting the delivery of the Dinkies, which arrived right around 9:40. It took great willpower to keep from diving in until after we took a few photos.

The Reviews

Maple Caramel: "The perfect amount of sweetness. Not too much maple, just a hint. Goes great with coffee. Reminded me of the beignets at Café Du Monde French Market in New Orleans." - Andrew

P1010063 "Knocked my socks off!" -  Steve

Strawberry Homer:
"It was the realest tasting strawberry I've every tasted. Trumps Dunkin Donuts." - Bridget

"I think it's going to kill me, that's what I think. It's like death on a napkin." - Rick

Chocolate Frosted: "Oh, I liked 'em!" - Cathy

"No better breakfast than chocolate." - Bridget

Minis: "More like a beignet... except granulated sugar instead of powdered." - Andrew

Don had the Boston Cream, but is currently unavailable for comment. Methinks he's gone to Donut Heaven...

I had the Boston Cream and it was "wicked good." I enjoyed the chewiness and especially liked the deep, dark chocolate icing. I'll be flying for hours now!

A couple people complained that the big donuts were too chewy, but I liked the chewiness.

These are frickin good donuts. I think you can also get 'em at Viva Espresso.
