I'd been eyeing Lola's Donuts on Instagram for awhile (more like drooling, seriously, every photo looks to scrumptious) and finally decided to check them out. I'm happy to say, the donuts lived up to my high expectations!
First, a bit about the ordering. I went online on a Tuesday to order for a Saturday, as seems like they often run out early (judging by Instagram). I ordered a 6 pack of assorted donuts and ordering was easy. I arrived on Saturday around 10am and waited in line for a bit before picking up my donuts from the window. Some people ahead of me had preordered, but a couple didn't and they didn't seem to have any issues with getting the donuts they wanted, so good to know you don't always have to preorder (but probably better to go early, just in case). Also, I love the storefront. The flowers make the whole experience feel more fun.
Now for the donuts! Since we had an assorted 6 pack, it was kinda fun opening the box to see what we got. My son son loved the "surprise." He was really hoping for the King Cake donut after seeing it in the window, so he was thrilled when that was one of the ones we got. We also got an Austin Cream Pie, Nutella Chocolate Brioche, Blood Orange & Milk Chocolate, Strawberry Cereal Milk, and Brown Butter Sea Salt Cruller. I'm no donut connoisseur, but each one was very enjoyable. My favorite was the cruller - it has just the right amount of salt and the dough was lighter than I expected. When I go back, I'm definitely gettin more crullers! The Blood Orange & Milk Chocolate was also a standout for me. The blood orange flavor comes through so nicely, it was a pleasant surprise.
The menu changes every month, so I'll definitely be back another month to try the new flavors. Also, this is a place I plan to bring out of town guests to, because it's just so special!
