Vegan donuts at Eclair bakery

[Guest guest]

I had the luck to walk in just as the donuts were coming out of the

" oven " (of course, we all know they really came out of the deep-fryer,

but hey), and I bought several to share. They were okay. Not great,

not bad, just okay. The people were super-nice, though, and if donuts

are your thing and you've been missing them, they'll probably hit the

spot. Me, the one or two times a year my partner wants donuts, I'll do

what I usually do -- make up some sweet bread dough and fry them up myself.

I must respectfully disagree with this assessment. I tried one of

these donuts at Fellini's coffee bar. It was a glazed one, cake type.

I thought it was excellent. Really fresh, no strong oily taste. Now I

just need to keep myself away from them, except on rare occasions.

Disagree all you like. We're not likely to have the same opinions on

everything. Now, if you tell me you don't like Tartex or something, THEN

I'll say you're nuts. ;-)

The ones I got were greasy, but donuts usually do seem greasy to me.

Ditto!. I ate 1.5 as a reward for completing a stressful interview this

p.m., and thought they were basicly the best donuts I have had in years (

vegan for 12+, so obviously that includes only the nutro and other

prepackaged types). I was dissappointed that there were no chocolate ones

available, but pleased that they were made from " all organic " ingriedients.

Vegan equivalent of Krispy Kreme for now, and glad that they are not open

late at night and don't have a drive through window!!!

I've had two of these donuts now - one chocolate frosted, and one some

kind of cinnamon glazed cake. Both were pretty good for a donut, great

for a vegan donut. Nowhere near as delicious as Seattle's fantastic

Mighty-O vegan donuts, but until they open a bakery in the Bay Area,

these donuts are fine by me. They're " normal " enough that you could

bring them to the office and share them with your non-vegan coworkers

(but why would you? :-)
