Ok, bro,
You want donuts.
And you’re vegan.
Or you’re not, but you’re trying to impress this vegan chick.
Or, you want to actually be a decent guy and support local business and have good donuts and coffee in the process.
Or you just freakin’ love great donuts.
Misfit Donuts has donuts. And coffee. And they’re vegan. And it’s an awesome local business. And you should go to there. And order food. And tell ’em The Xonuts Blog sent’cha!
Go to this place. It’s a quaint little storefront in the Upper Monroe neighborhood.
Dave got a strawberry brownie donut. Bo got “The Emo,” which was chocolate with charcoal and BLACKberry filling. There was much controversy over whether it was blueberry. No. Wrong. Stupid. It was blackberry. And it was awesome. The chocolate charcoal frosting gets all over your hands and it’s under your fingernails for the rest of the day (unless you’re an aristocrat who uses a fork and knife…. like we did after the first few bites), but dude it’s totally worth it and basically a badge of pride. Or honor. Or some good core value. A badge of Grit/Honor/Valour. The blackberry is tongue/lip-smacking-good. Then you look over at the wall and see an octopus. Then you go, “This place-” and then your friend points out that the octopus has nine tentacles. Then your mind is blown.
Anyway, the cinnamon sugar donut we got to share was light and sweet and we liked it.
Dave’s brownie creation was a strwberry glaze atop a horizontally split donut that sandwiched raw brownie dough, topped with marshmallows. It was a beautifully orchestrated collision of flavors, and certainly on the sweet side (throwing savory to the wind).
Overall, this place is worth a visit, esp. if you like Rochester and local things and vegan things. Nine out of whatever we usually say.
Don’t Miss: The good ole’ original cinnamon donut. It is understated, but not undergreated. It was, indeed, great.
Pro Tip: Come early. They sell out a lot! Also, there are sometimes secret truffles in the ‘fridge.
Pro-Pro Tip: Grab a fork before you sit down. You’ll just wind up getting up in twenty seconds to get one anyhow.
