Give this place a shot while you're at it. Perhaps my favorite.
Blinkie's Donut Emporium - Woodland Hills - Woodland Hills, CA
So unlike Lunchie, Dana is a fruity donut person?
Now I want some blueberry donuts, lol. I've had ones with blueberry or ones with raspberry and they are good, but yeah, don't really taste too much like donuts, but borderline muffins.
You know what I used to like, which they might still have, are chocolate eclairs from 7/11. Haha! They have chocolate frosting, vanilla pudding filling, and some glazing on the bottom. I am getting a sugar coma just from thinking about it.
Nice to read about some good doughnuts seeing as there are none up here unless you find a mom&pop who lasts...
And yes, I know Tim Horton's are everywhere up here. But they are all pre-done garbage 90% cooked in a factory over in God-Knows-Where and then shipped-out to stores.
I still can't believe KK left because they were panned as the 'unhealthy' donut (like TH are healthy?) and then they went bankrupt.
Classic New York jelly donut.

Donut on a regular plate doesn't look quite right.
I like donuts in general, not crazy about the KC's. But, I'm a sucker for a chocolate eclair. there was a local bakery back in Mich where I grew up called Awreys Bakery, had a wind mill in the logo and was sold at Kroger and A&P markets. When I was a kid, their chocolate eclairs rocked the casbah. Though I've tried, I've never found one that even comes close in the 34 years since I left Mich.
