My son, who never wants breakfast mentioned Friday night he wanted donuts for breakfast! So of course I had to get some Saturday morning. Since this was so rare, I wanted to get donuts that we don't have normally. I thought about driving all the way to Arlington's Heidelberg Bakery, best donuts in NOVA! It's pretty far so I checked Yelp. Duck Donuts was close by and having been to one before decided to order from there. I ordered online. The variety was overwhelming! With so many options I decided to the best option was to order 2 dozen. They have several options with preset options. I went with the seasonal one and the fan favorite.
I had some challenges with the mobile payment and almost gave up. I hate forms that don't allow me to use stored information or even copy and paste. To avoid the same hassle, know you have to manually type in your information,
I didn't eat at the store, but they didn't have much seating, I think most people order to go, like me. I arrived a few minutes early, and they were still filling my order as each donut is topped by hand. One of the two boxes was filled by a new employee. it took them an extra few minutes to fill.
Once I got home we dug in, a few donut flavors overlapped, for the rest we cut them in half. The consensus, after we all had our fill, was that the donuts were good, but not great. My son's opinion was "too much toppings" I had to agree! In fact, while eating my half of the maple bacon donut, I said, "I can't believe these words are about to leave my mouth but... there is too much bacon!" I didn't think that was possible!
While we all enjoyed them, next time I want to get special donuts, I will trek to Arlington!
