Jelly Modern Doughnuts

We went in search for a special birthday treat that wasn’t a regular fall back and ended up at Jelly Modern because I’d heard good things.
When we got to the booth I was a bit disappointed by the look of them as they were less appealing looking than truck stop donuts. But we’d come a ways to try them so we bought a couple anyway. I’m glad to say they taste better than they look. The recipe for the regular dipped donuts was delicious and exceeded expectations. Cake ones were ok but I’d go back for the soft white style again for sure.
Unfortunately these had the pricetag of «special birthday treat» but really weren’t all that special so that’s my major issue (particularly in appearance — ick I would have walk right by if I hadn’t heard the buzz). They were good (best in the city maybe) but $ 11 for 4 is what I think we spent which is a bit crazy. They also don’t have a location that close to me so it’s a pretty major hike to any location so that’s another downfall.
