How can I resist the lure of a business called Hot Doughnut? I can't. I actually ended up here by accident (I promise), looking for a cafe in Patrick that would be a good working space for an hour or so (I didn't find anywhere, fail). Thanks to Carolyn E for adding the photo of this place otherwise I was in such an oblivion I think I'd have missed it!
So, they do doughnuts. I'm not sure the name is entirely accurate as they didn't seem to be hot when I purchased them - although the owner did tell me they are made fresh on site every day so they are HOT in that sense. Today there was a selection of doughnuts - no mini ones, sadly - I got the chocolate & blueberries, coconut and chocolate & custard doughnuts. Now, I'll be honest - I don't really have a sweet tooth and I prefer doughnuts which are relatively plain and sugar coated rather than icing. I've tried the chocolate & blueberries one so far and thought it was really good, clearly fresh and a really nice filling which was a bit unusual.
Prices are reasonable at £1.50 for a two filling doughnut and £1 for a single filling. They also sell things like coffee, baked cheesecakes, hot dog bake and ham & cheese bake. The owner was super friendly and welcoming, and really helpful. This wee shop definitely deserves a visit. read more
