Mystifry — Restaurant in Basel

The owner told me about this place on Reddit. Months later I finally got a chance to get a Donut. And let me tell you, it was absolutely amazing. I don't care if something is Vegan or not. These are just absolutely amazing handmade fresh Donuts.

Unlike many others (you know, these soggy dough pieces you get at fast food chains) these are nice and soft but won't cover your entire mouth with a grease layer. I'm sure they have many calories but it doesn't feel like it after all.

I'll definitely be back here.

Probably on the more expensive side if you only look at the price of a regular Donut. For me it is a very fair price for a fresh and handmade product. Also the donuts are huge and the owner seems to care about food waste so he only makes a certain ammount and is just sold out after that which I want to support. Also Basel is getting more and more big chain bakeries and I want to support someone who is producing fresh daily.

Buy here, you support so many great things with just...

When Chef’s Table does a “Donuts” series, Mystifry must be episode 1. In a city and a country not exactly known as a foodie paradise, Mystifry is awesome, and I cannot recommend it any more highly. As far as I can tell, they craft about 6 different donuts each month, each unique. The brioche dough has the perfect moist, chewy and slightly sweet flavor you want in a donut, and even if the topping, coating or filling is not exactly my thing, I still finish up by scraping every bit of crumb, icing and filling off the box. Given that the shop is tiny, in a 900 year-old building just adds to Mystifry’s greatness. My wife recently gave me a box of six, one of each of the monthly flavors, in place of a birthday cake. Good thing she got more for anyone else who wanted a taste. I ate them all that day in...

We heard about this store when we planned our Basel Day-trip and looked for culinary specialties on the Basel tourism website. We were immediately hooked when we saw the pictures of the served donuts. After a look on the Google ratings we quickly saw that the bad ones are all obviously fake... (Google should delete those...). We had 4 (Maple Latte, Chocolate and Peanut Butter Pretzel, Strawberry Cheesecake, Mexican Hot Chocolate) of the 6 specialty donuts served this week and not one disappointed us. All of them had distinct features and flavours that made them unique. Even though these Donuts are not cheap they are worth every cent and we would come back if it wasn't for the 500km trip :(

Overall worth a trip and huge...
