I continue to be interested in new things that seem old and old things that seem new.
It’s been cold here. No snow. Whew. But cold.
This isn’t the post I planned for today but sometimes you need to be open to readjusting and trying something new.
We started today with our regular Monday routine: 3 minute plank, post office, yoga, gym workout, and library.
We were also going to do our Monday visit to Happy Pappys but this is where we took a detour and decided to try something new.
In December when we arrived here we saw this brochure on our fridge and said, “Maybe we’ll try it someday.”
Today was that day.
https://www.parlordoughnuts.com/about
Totally new place to us.
What’s special about Parlor’s FAMOUS Layered DoughnutS™?
“Parlor offers their Famous Layered Doughnut, which sets them apart from the traditional cake or yeast style… proprietary product with layers of buttery dough fried to be crisp on the outside and light/fluffy on the inside. A wide range of toppings are available. Small batches are made fresh all day!”
Guess these were a case of old things that seem new.
Nothing ventured nothing gained so off we went.
Inside the shop.
You can see from the menu that they in addition to doughnuts they offer breakfast sandwiches.
So sandwiches for lunch.
Richard: black coffee. and a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich.
Me: Chai Latte, and a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich.
Some errors we made.
Richard didn’t realize there was a choice of bread for the sandwich so he ended up with his on an unglazed doughnut.
I asked about bread choices and chose ciabatta. She didn’t offer me the gluten free option. Oops. My mistake. I should have asked.
Many doughnut choices.
Our doughnuts.
Even though they didn’t have a Turtle doughnut in their display case she said they could have one ready for me in a couple of minutes. They must have the basic doughnuts made and then add the different toppings when requested.
Today was definitely a ‘cheat day’. We made that decision on our way there.
Nice packaging. But if they served the eat in orders on plates they’d have less garbage.
Have a closer look at the cup. Cute idea. Shows pics and names of their various locations.
Verdict?
Coffee? Not great
Latte? Not great. Lukewarm.
Sandwiches? Tasty. My ciabatta bun was very fresh. Richard’s was a bit gooier as it was on a doughnut.
Doughnuts? Very tasty. The texture of the dough reminded me of my mother’s cinnamon buns when she made them from extra bread dough. Delicious.
Price? A lot for what we had. $34
A Return Performance? Probably not.
Worth it? In terms of trying something new – yes. It was worth taking the chance even if we ended up not liking everything. The server was lovely. Very friendly. No customers were there when we arrived and only two takeouts after us so I think she was pleased to have us there. In terms of calories ingested? Nope. But we did venture out of our routine so that’s a good thing. Good to have new experiences.
Salad for supper.
