Vegan options if you do I'll be heading down first thing tomorrow?

It looks like I really have to start working on the vegan recipe. I’m sorry but we don’t have a vegan menu yet.

Do they have gluten free donuts?

No. Sorry

The butter croissant is truly the perfect example of a well done croissant. Light, buttery, crispy, and flaky. Every bite was fantastic. My next favorite is the black sesame pinwheel. Everything I love about a croissant except now with black sesame cream, which was sooo rich, luscious and not too sweet! The blueberry danish was a summer special, layered with fresh and sweet blueberries. The pistachio pain suisse was filled with nutty pistachio and the layers were super crispy and covered with syrup. This pastry is on the heavier end. Lastly, the matcha danish is the one I was most excited to try as a matcha lover. I was a little thrown off by the layer of chocolate beneath the matcha. But as I continued to eat it, the matcha ended up overpowering it, which is a plus to me! Staff here are friendly and always ready to recommend goods or to chat about your day. Paloma has a solid roster of pastries and they always have seasonal offerings too.

We sat outside in the casually-laid out backyard while hearing songs blending French and Maghrebian Arabic emanating from inside.

On this visit, I was buying bread for three different friends as gifts, so I naturally needed a little extra time to make my selections and place my order.

I completely understand that there were customers waiting behind me and that the staff needs to keep the line moving. However, I believe every customer deserves to be treated with patience and respect. If I am spending over $120 on your products, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect five minutes of patience while I carefully choose my order. I truly love this bakery and will continue recommending it because the quality of the bread is exceptional. I only hope the customer service can better reflect the quality of the products. A little more patience and kindness would make the experience just as memorable as the bread itself.

Their focaccia is probably my favorite and the balsamic vinaigrette was so good that my husband and I had to ask for a couple of refills. We even asked our waitress where we could buy it, but unfortunately she wasn't sure. The seafood pasta was also delicious and loaded with seafood. You probably can't tell from the picture but it also came with plenty of little clams.

As soon as my friend arrived, we ordered a 1/2 dozen West Coast oysters, which were not on the happy hour menu, and several dozens of the HH East Coast oysters. Our server did an excellent job explaining the origin of the oysters as well as the specials of the day. The West Coast oysters were Kumamoto (California), while the East Coast selection were called Bad Boys (from Nova Scotia, Canada). Normally I'm a big fan of West coast oysters, but the Bad Boys were delicious! They were plump with a bold ocean brine & crisp finish. My friend also ordered a cup of clam chowder, which he thoroughly enjoyed. One of the best oyster HH spots I've come across, because it seems to be harder finding good ones lately.

If you're on the hunt for a place that offers truly unique and unforgettable donut flavors, Fat Doughnut should be at the top of your list. One of their most exceptional creations is the maple donut, which stands out with its rich, syrupy sweetness and melt-in-your-mouth texture. It's a perfect balance of flavors that brings together the warmth of maple and the soft, doughy goodness of their perfectly crafted donuts. What makes Fat Doughnut even more special is the wide variety of other delectable donuts they offer, each one crafted with care and attention to detail. From classic favorites to bold, inventive flavors, every bite is a delightful surprise. Whether you're craving something sweet and indulgent or looking to try something new, the donuts at Fat Doughnut never disappoint. read more

The doughnuts here are always fresh and big! you know that they are hand made with home-made ingredients and do not contain any preservatives as the franchise businesses out there (Dunkin Donuts etc). We first tried their doughnuts with my husband and loved them so much, that each of us got a dozen for our co- workers. Our co-workers really enjoyed it,too! There was literally nothing left. The price tag is what you would expect from a gourmet doughnut shop, but honestly it's worth it given the size of those things. It's essentially like buying two doughnuts. They have smaller sizes, too, by the way, in case you can't tackle of them big boys. Overall, I would definitely recommend checking it out if you are a doughnut lover! read more

Absolutely the best doughnuts I've ever tried. I've introduced so many friends to them and they agree. Waaaay better than other competitors in the neighborhood. They are family owned and made fresh on site in small batches every day and have over a dozen flavors! The doughnuts are huge and are the softest fluffiest doughnuts ever.
