It is definitely one of my favorite desserts of all…read moretime and I am always willing to pay big money when it comes to original and great-tasting donuts. During a general assembly for one of my college organizations last year, we were given a free sample of a dark chocolate bacon-flavored doughnut. I didn't know what to expect. I thought it would be disgusting to mix something greasy and salty with something as sweet as chocolate. When I finally took a bite, I felt like I was in heaven. Who knew that a combination of bacon and chocolate would actually taste good? The moment I tasted that doughnut I immediately went to the Gavino's branch in SM Megamall a week later to check what other amazing pastries it has to offer. When I checked their menu, I noticed their famous Mochi Rings, which is a combination of Japanese mochi and doughnut. They also sell milk tea, coffee, and mochi balls, in case you're not in the mood to eat some doughnuts.

Attempting to describe Gavino's Donuts would be futile. They call their product mochi donuts. They…read morehave it in rings and in the smaller donut hole versions called mochi balls. As with any donut shop, I test just how good their product is by getting the classic glazed version. And theirs did not disappoint. Minus all the other ingredients you get to sample the base donut with a hint of sweetness. You bite into it and everything just seems to align -- it's gooey and chewy but a few bites more and you'll notice how it starts to melt in your mouth. I don't even know how it's possible to combine those two textures but they did. And it is really sinfully good. I love their unique flavors such as cinnamon sugar, sour cream, red velvet pistachio and the peanut butter and jelly mochi ball. Classic flavors are P33 each and Premium ones are P43 a piece. You can get them in boxes of 6, 12 or 24 and assorted. Don't miss out on trying this one, it really is one of the better donuts out there today.

I was very much surprised at how calm it was and it wasn't as packed as I've seen the mall since I landed. Upon walking in, the staff were really friendly and answered all my questions, mainly me asking if they had almond milk... unfortunately, they didn't so I kept on ordering espresso double shots everywhere we went. I ordered a double shot espresso and it came with a regular sugar donut. I also ordered a matcha green tea donut but I wasn't able to eat it b/c I was eating too many sweets after our time here. -------------- Then my family and I came here again when we were shopping for stuff to bring back home and we all needed a caffeine boost. The server that helped me out was working again and she greeted me b/c she remembered me... and it was really sweet of her. I bought the orange cup and saucer combo and the friendly server went beyond her call of duty and packed that cup and saucer thoroughly. I was really impressed and no cracks when I opened it back here. Overall, the main story: friendly staff and good donuts. Not too sweet but just right. If you have a sweet tooth... well worth checking out! To the management: well done on your staff being helpful and friendly.

Years ago, life was much simpler. We only had a few things to choose from. For burgers, we had…read moreMcdonalds. For fried chicken, it was always KFC. For pizza, Shakey's without fail and for donuts, it was Dunkin. At the time, there was no other option for donuts but it didn't mean that we wanted something else. We all had our favorites. For me it was the butternut, for my sister it was the choco frosted and for my mother it was the boston crème. We would often have a box at home, kept inside the refrigerator to be brought as "baon" to school or as an after meal dessert. These days, you would see huge donut chains around the metro. Most of them I find too sweet or too creamy for my palate. I guess a part of me still longs for my childhood favorite and it comes in a form of a round, very soft butternut from Dunkin.

The Gonuts Donuts craze in the Philippines was very short-lived. First, it was Krispy Kreme, with…read moretheir free glazed doughnuts and drive-thru access. Then came J. Co and I think that was when Gonuts Donuts really fell out of the race. They used to have really soft doughnuts, I recently had some because my office mate brought them to work, and it was hard already. He even told us that the doughnuts were just purchased the day before cause we might think that it was bought last week. Everyone in the office just laughed about it but right at that moment, I think it was safe to say no one wanted to buy them anymore after that. I really do hope that they bounce back and offer people something more than just stale doughnuts because I think they still have a chance to rekindle the relationship that they have with their loyal customers.

I first encountered Gonuts Donuts when my mom brought home some donuts in an unfamiliar looking box. What followed was a pleasant surprise as there is now one more establishment that I know I can depend on to satisfy my donut needs.

For those with diabetes and can't handle sugar in their system, Gonuts Donuts offers sugar free donuts! My dad in particular loves Gonuts Donuts because of this. Great variety on their part and very considerate to that market, as well. Aside from that, they also sell Choco Cookie Butter and Choco Hazelnut spreads, both of which are priced reasonably and actually taste pretty good.

I know so people who absolutely love J. Co and wouldn't mind lining up for more than an hour just to get their hands on some. Truth us, I really don't understand the long lines since each branch employs nearly 20 people at a time. Perhaps its a marketing strategy or they really need to speed up their service. While I'm not really one to wait on donuts, I do think they have some of the best in the Metro. So when I see an acceptable line at any J.Co store, I grab the chance to buy myself some.
