5AM DONUT - Austin Ranch — Restaurant in The Colony

Best place to wreck your diet. The entertainment value of watching the bearded hipsters making a lot of useless noises next door at CrossFit whilst enjoying a cronut and a cup of coffee is reason enough to go.

Got the custard donuts, which were generously filled, powdered donuts, my fave, cinnamon, and donut holes. Fluffy and light donuts to go with our chai latte at home. This was a Zag day, so why not have a donut?

Will return for their donuts again when jonsing for something light and sweet. 5am...
