Coffee & Donuts

I wanted this place to be amazing — their entrance is so inviting, and it’s super close to my house… and potentially on the way to everywhere. It’s just by the Britomart transport centre, in the Laundromat boutique.
Unfortunately, the coffee is just okay, and at $ 4, not really worth it. I had the chocolate donut… enh… a donut can never be BAD, but it didn’t seem very fresh (early in the morning?!) and at $ 5 and for the calories/​sugar intake involved, I’d rather head over to Little & Friday… bummer.

I read about Coffee & Donuts from my weekly Denizen update. Having just had a discussion the day before with my boss’ wife about our love of donuts, I emailed it through to her. We were both v excited.
I think maybe I don’t really pay attention to the names of places when I go there. They just do coffee and donuts. They don’t even do tea?! This isn’t really a problem, but I suppose I was kind of expecting a bit more than what they had on offer. Don’t get me wrong, the environment is cool, I love the atmosphere — having clothes around to buy is never a problem — but I was expecting Bluebells style donuts for a place that is called «Coffee & Donuts». The donuts here are the ones made by Loaf and whilst perfectly tasty, they don’t have that x-​factor. Maybe it was just that they didn’t have any cream filled ones, and that’s all I was dreaming of…
In saying that, though, this is a little café in the back of a clothes shop. It’s not a place where you’re going to go for a long sit down with friends and order multiple things off the menu. For a quick sugar fix, you should totally stop by. They only have about 14 seats in the place, so small numbers is good.
