    Got a few out of Oh My Donut Saturday. Very nice. Far nicer than Huckleberrys. But Alis still the standard bearer.

    3 euros for a doughnut is a complete rip off

    That's a relief. We went a few days without a new donut shop opening.

    Competition doesn't seem to be doing much to bring down prices, think we're up to six in the city centre now?

    I got one from sticky fingers last weekend, it was nice and while I agree they're expensive at €3 each, a fiver for a coffee and a cake is probably reasonable enough compared to most cafes in town. I sat at one of the small tables outside, oh my donut has my vote so far though for having indoor seating.

    Oh my donut is my own favorite (convenient to me and I think they taste nicer then the shack's) but the drawback for them is they're closed on a Sunday, and their loyalty cards require they get stamped 9 times before getting the freebie, and the shack's only need 8, and the shack will also stamp for the coffee, so you'll get a free donut after 4 visits to the shack getting a coffee and donut, but you'd need to go to OMD 9 times. I haven't tried ali's or huckleberries yet, Huckleberries is a trek tbh. Cream doesn't actually look that appealing at all to me just having passed by it a few times.

    I think many of these places might be open with the short term in mind, i don't think it would take much to convert one into a sandwich shop or café tbh. They seems to be outfitted simply enough, just some basic furniture which would be multi purpose or even sold off, equipment easily sold second hand like coffee machines, some basic branding etc and a 1 or 2 year lease and you have a long term pop up, closeable with a few weeks notice like if the donut trade falls off I'd say many of these operators could pack up without being hit too hard.

    I have had them all withe girlfriend

    Cream is nope from both of us we did not like there donuts and poor mix in there
    Sticky Fingers the same there is notting in the middle of the donut at all like a bite and thats it.
    Huckbuarrys can be nice depends on what you get now pain in the ass to get to from town.
    The stack only donut we have put in the bin as they where that bad.
    Oh my donut to me is the perfect donut not to big perfect filling and i love there peanut butter one.
    Elis nice donut but to much filling in them.

    Big money in doughnuts isn't there?

    It used to be in the banana stand but that burnt down.

    I think the Shack is the best of them - they were the only ones to do a decent Boston creme. the coffee is not good though. I'm interested in Ali's Kitchen now as I didn't realise they made donuts.

    Huckleberry's: dry.
    OMD: dry
    The one by the opera house: dry

    They all seem to come from the same kitchen.

    Is it true that doughnuts are deep fried in those deep fat fryers ?

    Yip. Made a few myself at home some time ago, always deep fried. Easy to do if you don't mind a bit of kneading. I prefer less sugar on mine, so tended to make them myself.
