The entry of big international donut brands in the Philippines pushed many local players into decline. One of the early names in premium donuts is Go Nuts Donuts and it has since lost a huge share of the donut market. I remember the days when I would line up in front of their outlet at Fort Strip in BGC for almost an hour just to get a dozen of their freshly cooked and yummy donuts. But now, the said Go Nuts store has closed down and most of their other outlets in major malls have been converted into kiosks for takeouts.
Even so, I still continue to patronize this donut chain because it is local and I try my best to support Filipino-owned companies and local products whenever I can.
The good news is Go Nuts Donuts doesn't just sell donuts nowadays. The company has added pizza, pocket pies, cro-nuts, and other items to its menu. The newest additions to their product line are the creamy ice cream sandwiches. Still, I only buy donuts and coffee from them. The Amazing Glaze and the Peanut Butter Frost continue to be my all time favorites. I'm just happy that I don't have to fall in line and wait like crazy just to have my hands on their sweet treats. read more
