There are a few businesses that I have reviewed over the years that are so extremely special. Ring Baked Tofu Donuts (RBTD) is certainly one of these. It isn't just the donuts and the drinks (OMG! Those drinks!!!). It was never just that. It was a combination of the owners, how cute and homey the decor was, the quality of their locally sourced ingrediants, etc, etc, etc. It's just a stellar place. And what's the scariest part of a business like this? Yes, you're right, when it changes ownership. When this occurred we were honestly not so in a rush to see how things would change. I'm more than a little embarrassed to say that it has taken this long to stop by but today was the day. I needed a place to meet a friend so neither one of us had to drive so far and RBTD was the perfect location. I'm so happy to say that from the moment I opened the door, I knew I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Juliette and her mom Jerri couldn't have been more accommodating and delightful. The donuts and the amazing drinks were not only the same but possibly even a little better. It's a little difficult to improve upon perfection, so I'm not absolutely sure. There were even a few new additions to the lineup to make things interesting. The orange and chocolate is a new personal favorite and the expanded vegan options really pleased my friend. The Sea Salt Iced Coffee, as usual, disappeared before I knew what happened. Every time I tell myself that I'm going to slow down and savor it but t's impossible, it's just that good. My friend also inhaled his Sea Salt Matcha with oat milk. The donuts were just as tasty and moist with the perfect sweetness as always. Please go try RBTD. If you haven't, you're really missing something special.
Please excuse the length of this review. It was partly a letter of apology. I should have known better that Aya and Mitsu wouldn't have turned their ultra unique creation over to anyone who wasn't 100% worthy. Thank you Juliette and Jerri for your dedication and passion:)
