Riehl's Bakery in the Newtown Farmers Market continues to expand their delicious sweet offerings with a shop in the same market specializing in donuts. It is on the second aisle across from the Korean green grocer and next to Dos Amores , the Mexican vendor.

If careful, it is possible to capture the pieces of frosting that fall off with each bit for later indulgence. I also sampled a blueberry frosted cake donut that was also fun and satisfied my sweet tooth later in the day.
