No visit is complete without a visit to a local donut shop and on this, our last hours in New York before catching our plane to Italy, we indulged in one fancy donut from this well-reviewed joint.

The Place: Dough Doughnuts

Location:  Times Square area, New York City

Doughnut tried:  Horchata Cinnamon Glazed

Price: $3 for regular donuts, $3.50 for the special variety.  Our single selection was in the latter category.

Verdict: Pretty Good. Not the best we’ve had. I think the issue was in the name. This doughnut was certainly made up of lots of dough- thick and chewy and not enough glaze in proportion to the dough. 

Rating: 6.5 out of 10

Dough is a mini chain with locations around the city

So many selections! Lisa whittled it down to three choices, and I had to pick one out of the three for us to share.

The other choices Lisa made me decide on were the toasted coconut and the Nutella centered doughnut

Too big and heavy to pick up with your bare hands, this one definitely needed the fork and knife!

No trip is complete without a visit to a local doughnut shop, and on this our last day in Dubai we indulged in some creations from Dum Dum Donutterie…

As the sign states, these doughnuts are baked, not fried

This donut shop has other locations and is not original to Dubai, it actually started in the United Kingdom

These are Cronuts, and the donut dude told us that these are what makes Dum Dum Donutterie famous

We went with the Croconut and four mini donuts

Selections:

Cost:
$6 for one Cronut
$2.15 for each mini donut

Verdict:  Meh, not worth the high price
2 out of 5 stars
They just didn’t have the wow factor to justify the price. The mini donuts were basically the same except for whatever filling they had.

The Place:  Glam Doll Doughnuts

Location: Minneapolis, MN neighborhood nicknamed “Eat Street”

Doughnuts tried: Bombshell and Sunday Love in the Park

Price:  $3 for the Bombshell, $2.50 for the SLP, but they overcharged a $3 price

Verdict:  Spot on yumminess, though slightly overpriced; however the market will pay these prices.  Still worth it as long as it is not a regular thing.
