Dough...

This afternoon we went out for a little exploring in Brooklyn, we've been reading up about a few places and wanted to go and find a couple of them.

The first place was called Sweet Revenge in Bedstuy. Abi had read about it a while ago, they make and serve cupcakes which are then paired with beer or wine, so it's like a bakery bar. We looked up the brunch menu online and saw that they do scotch eggs too, so it was decided - we'd go and find it.

Unfortunately when we got there, or where it was on Google Maps, the was no sign of it. The shop had the shutters down and the signs all painted over... so, no scotch eggs or cupcakes and wine for us (although there's supposed to be a Sweet Revenge in Manhattan, so we'll go there one time instead).

Luckily, just a few blocks away from Sweet Revenge (or where it was supposed to be) was a little placed called Dough...

Dough is, as you may have guessed, a lovely little donut shop - and as it was officially 'National Donut Day' on Friday we thought it was only right to have ourselves some coffee and donuts...

(In clockwork order, from top left - Dulce de Leche and Almonds, Lemon Meringue, Chocolate, and Coconut)

They had all sorts of amazing flavours - blood orange, pumpkin, coffee, nutella cream, lemon meringue, as well as some delicious glazed donuts and sugary ones too. They were pretty huge and mighty tasty, so we had one delicious donut and took the rest with us!

The shop itself is a lovely small shop, with a few stools in the window and a small counter and that's about it. From in the shop though you can see the kitchen where they were making cupcakes and donuts and all the creamy fillings fresh.

As we were sitting in the window enjoying ours, with lemon meringue all over our faces, they brought out a fresh batch of the Dulce de Leche ones - the baker didn't even have chance to get them off the baking tray before people were buying them!

Dough was a great little place, and the donuts were absolutely amazing (waaaaay nicer than the ones we all had at work on Friday, they were from the Donut Plant in Chelsea), another great discovery in our neighbourhood.

Happy (belated) Donut Day!
