The Best Pastries at Three West Village Bakeries | Eater NY

"A six-year-old Toronto import now in NYC, notable for its miniature, cake-based doughnuts that are surprisingly chewy with a pleasant bounce-back and are always hot because they’re fried-to-order in canola oil. The babies are served in a cute box with little air-venting flaps and even come with a FORK. Three glaze options are standard — the OG sour cream with condensed milk, cinnamon sugar with a spiffing of salt, and a rotating weekly special that’s often collaborative — and the launch special (La Cabra coffee with duck-fat caramel and lemongrass spice) was the reviewer’s favorite. Founder Alex White and his crew have teamed up with Doughnut Plant for tribute flavors; seasonal offerings have included streusel-topped apple-glazed babies and pumpkin spice. Orders are by the half-dozen (sampling all three glazes requires a minimum of 18), and they go fast; the reviewer was also intrigued by the shop’s name and its web address, eatcops.com." - Charlotte Druckman
