One of my daughter’s bucket list items before traveling internationally for school was to have an ugly donut before she leaves. For some reason, she loves this donut. Raves about every time she has it. She doesn’t even like sweets or anything with a filling but some how makes an exception for ugly donut. As soon as she woke up this morning she ventured out to buy her last ugly donut for the next 4 months and in her ugly donut world, a major catastrophe occurs. The CREDIT CARD READER IS NOT WORKING. Yes, except how she sent me the text. Of course, with teenagers nowadays relying solely on Apple Pay, she couldn’t get her donut. This did not deter her from her morning donut adventure so she went home to get cash. She comes cash and of course the apply pay is working now on the credit card machine. Upset that she had to walk home but happy she was about to get her donut, she purchased a donut and brought it home. Of course, when expectations are high disappointment is also high. The next texts were “why did the donut shrink” and my answer was “inflation” and “why is there only sugar on one side of the donut” and my answer again was “inflation”. I honestly could not answer her disappointment or questions. But all I know is I had a very disappointed kod who was looking forward to her ugly donut. Pictures of no sugar and shrinkage...
Read moreI had a terrible first experience at this store. It was Memorial Day so it was busy. Me and my girlfriend ordered a Boba Tea and two ugly donuts (One Nutella, one Red bean). The boba got made, the two ugly donuts were sitting there. Eventually, the cashier grabbed the nutella and I thought that since our boba wqas sitting there and she was grabbing the nutella it was our order, at about ten minutes of waiting. It wasnt. Another five minutes passed, she finally called out 65 (our order number) and gave us the boba. It was still cold so that was ok. She told us that we had just run out of nutella but that she could see the "Nutella were coming out now" so I was goign to get a fresh one. Over the next 30 MINUTES i watched as they made the Nutella from scratch. Eventually I got fed up with waiting and left, I swallowed the cost of the two donuts just because I was so done. I dont mind how busy they were, what i minded was that the cashier straight lied to my face telling me they were coming out now but hadnt even begun to make them. Every minute that passed more and more people were coming in. This was absolutely awful. WHY LIE TO ME? just offer me another flavor that is ready OR just tell me the truth and ask what I wanted to do. I do not believe I will try this place again, who hires dishonest employees. One star because the...
Read moreChecked out this new neighborhood spot that serves Korean street food: rice corn dogs and twisted donuts. The interior has a cute aesthetic with artwork and neon sign. I came for the corn dogs. They have several different options you can try. I went with the mozza mix with beef sausage and mozzarella cheese. I added the crispy potato topping. They have several sauce options. I chose spicy mayo and asked the staff to recommend another one to me. They said the cheddar cheese sauce pairs well with what I ordered. They have a few chairs outside. I sat outside and several people stopped to ask me about what I was eating. They then went inside to order one for themselves. The corn dog was really tasty. The mix of flavors was interesting. I love sauces, but with so much going on, plain old ketchup probably would have been fine. Overall, it was good and I would probably go back and try a different corn dog and their donuts. Check it out and follow me on Instagram for more NYC eats...
