My evil nemesis the DONUT! Driving back from Silverlake one afternoon Brother Charlie and I stopped by California Donuts, before today we've never stopped although I'm sure we've eyed it numerous times together and alone.
California Donuts has a vintage feel even the sign, and with delicious looking donuts lined up right up against the window with a walk-up window and counter I can understand why this particular 24 hour donut shop selling muffins, cigarettes, coffee and other drinks gets a steady stream of customers. Donuts go really well with coffee and cigarettes.
With almost every variety I can think of all the donuts looked beautiful, BIG and tasty. It was time to give it a try and perhaps add another donut shop to my already growing list of places I shouldn't frequent unless I can acknowledge happily the mounting cellulite on my thighs and wing-flaps.
Brother Charlie ordered a round glaze and a cup of small coffee
I too opted for a glaze but with a twist. First, second, third bite... it took me three full bites to figure out what I thought about California Donuts. I've had better donuts before, this was still a donut and so, still delicious, sweetly glazed and fluffy, their was a slight crunch to the glaze on the outside which I always love and the inside was dry yet fluffy.
It's not a place I'd be dying to go for donuts but it was yummy, because... once again, it's a donut. The experience was a rather pleasant one. We ordered outside at the counter, payed by credit card though the damage was hardly a damage at all $4.00 +/-, and ate leaning up against Brother Charlie's truck. This time around, it was the experience of it all that really counted and the donut wasn't bad either.
