I tried Dutch Monkey Doughnuts today for the first time and I would have to say I have mixed opinions about this place.
The moment I walked in, I noticed the cashier was not the most joyful. A hello would have been nice, but instead she was kind of quiet and meh. I will say, I have been eyeing the daily menu for about a week now, and by the time I am able to make my way there, many of the donuts I would want to try are sold out. So, I tell myself I will go another day.
Luckily, today there was a tropical storm, so they had a lot of donuts available and I decided to try it out.
I got the strawberry bar, not a Samoa, crunch donut, and cinnamon roll.
Given the cinnamon roll and strawberry bar are always sold out, I guess I had high expectations, but in fact, those were my least favorite. Nowhere near a delicious Cinnabon and the strawberry bar was just nothing to call home about.
The "not a Samoa", however, was delicious and the crunch donut. The base of the donut was more cake-like, rather than yeasty. The chocolate frosting tasted really fresh and not artificial.
I would definitely try other flavors again, but as of right now, I would say they are average for the price.
