July Doughnut Review (part one?)

 July Doughnut Review (part one?)

After excitedly browsing the new menu online, 🐰 and I headed down to Proven Goods in Hoult's Yard last Friday hoping to try the Hazelnut 'Bueno' glaze doughnut.

We got there fairly early but there was a reasonable queue. As we joined it, a new tray of the hazelnut Buenos glaze doughnuts was put in the window, but it was clearly a popular choice and they began disappearing immediately. We were starting to make back up choices just in case, as doughnut after doughnut disappeared before our eyes! Luckily, by the time we got to the counter there were just two left, and they were ours!

First thing, they've introduced new doughnut trays that are a fantastic addition. The boxes are grand if you're getting a lot of doughnuts but putting one of these in a paper bag would have ruined it. The trays work perfectly.

The Hazelnut 'Bueno' Glaze is definitely the messiest doughnut I've had from Proven Goods. The glaze is soft and sticky and ended up across a lot of my face.

It tasted great though, with the dark chocolate cutting through the sweetness of the white chocolate fairly effectively, though it was still incredibly sweet. The hazelnuts added a nice flavour, but after last month's strongly textural treats, there was a disappointing lack of crunch to them. The doughnut was delightfully soft but the nuts just didn't add enough of a contrast to place this one in my top list.

I gave it 4/5, while 🐰 gave it 3.5/5
