The Best Dishes Eater SF Editors Ate This Week: Spring 2023 - Eater SF
"Unfortunate news for all the bakery farm stands I frequented throughout Vermont and Massachusetts while attending college in the Pioneer Valley. While bucolic as bucolic gets, particularly during autumn, I’m afraid those spots couldn’t hold a candle to the maple donut I recently enjoyed in Oakland. A longtime pal and I snagged a variety box from Donut Savant the other day and while the cron’ts were indeed flaky and moist, the Bernie stood out to me. In fact, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. Inflated with luscious vanilla pastry cream and glossed with a salted maple frosting, this donut defied all odds and preconceived notions — it could not have been lighter, nor could it have been more flavorful due to the perfect amount of flaky sea salt studding its crown. Donut Savant, 3000 38th Avenue, Allendale, Oakland" - Lauren Saria
