Rate-A-Restaurant #389: Colorado Donuts (Eagle Rock)


Restaurant
: Colorado Donuts

Location: 1578 Colorado Blvd #14, Eagle Rock, CA 90041 (Eagle Rock)

Type of restaurant: Donuts

We stipulated: Maria and I wanted to do a bike ride through Eagle Rock, and we figured we'd treat ourselves at the end.

They stipulated: The store is open, but only a limited number of people are allowed in at a time. Donuts vary from the basic standards to the more expensive, high-end originals. 


What we ordered: Four ube cake donuts, one horchata donut (a special limited time flavor), one Simpsons-style pink sprinkle donut and two apple fritters..

High point:   Those apple fritters may be my favorite of any I've had, thanks to the extra dose of cinnamon.

Low point:   The menu is confusingly written, so that you don't know how much you're paying for the different donuts. Is the ube cake donut a specialty donut? We ended up paying $21 for our eight donuts, which seems steep.


Overall impression: I've been looking for years to find the perfect ube donut -- right flavor, proper frosting, no greasy aftertaste. This is the closest to what I've been looking for.

Will we return:  For those apple fritters, absolutely. And sure, those ube donuts as well. But I'm going to pay closer attention to what everything costs next time.
