    What was the place in Everett that was downtown by I believe it was the Bon Marche and some Athletic Club? Was that Henry’s?

    Bon Marche long before my tim in the area.


    Oh yes I know what you’re talking about. On Rockefeller I think. Cafe & bakery. Only went there a couple times. Good cinnamon rolls. Henry’s is better.
    Yes I think it is on Rockefeller ... their danishes and bear claws were amazing

    I’ll have to check Henry’s out next time I play Legion
    On Broadway two blocks north of Everett Ave on east side of street.
    What do you recommend?

    Apple fritters, old fashion. It’s all pretty good.

    We have a cider mill down the road that makes phenomenal apple fritters. Lattin's Cider Mill - try a fritter, you'll be back.

    Howdy neighbor of my boss. Donate to the barn fundraiser.
    I'll do that. I freaked out when I heard about the fire - I was glad to hear most of the place survived. Where the hell else can you get an awesome fritter, a jug of killer cider and a jar of pickled beans around here?

    My best friend told me some of the bakers from Cupcake Royale had started making donuts:

    Looks like they might have gone under though. 🙁 Hopefully they come back.

    Fuck wetside donuts. Soggy. Wet. Damp. Not enough sun to allow the yeast to rise properly.



    If it's good enough for John Stockton, it's good enough for me.



    Where tuff loggers fuel up in Coeur d'Alene.

    btw, if you're eating donuts instead of maple bars, you need to step up your pastry game to the most superior variety out there.

    Shoutout to Darcy's Dinky Donuts in Monroe, on Lewis Street a couple blocks off of US2. I think they only do the county fair style little round donuts but they do 'em really good. A big line every tim I've been there.

    I freaked out too as it sounded pretty bad. Thankfully it was the barn and no animals hurt. East Olympia already lost Johnson’s Smokehouse to a fire recently. It would have been awful if they lost Lattin’s too.

    So I've only ever had Legendary Donuts delivered to me. They have Dough-sants which are I think basically super flakey donuts. But just checked out their menu, and this bad boy is on the menu.

    Lafeen’s in Bellingham and Burlington as of a few years ago. Still my favorite. Best pink frosting + sprinkle, Bigfoot (giant maple bar).

    Factory Donuts is solid on Aurora. Top Pot is ok.

    If I leave my house on foot, I'm at Lafeen's in about three minutes. I buy beer all the time at DaVinci's next door. My kids are 8 and 10, and their new taste of freedom and maturity is their bicycle gang all getting together and heading down to Lafeen's and DaVinci's and blowing all their Christmas money on donuts and candy and soda.

    Krispy Kremes aren't even donuts. They're just balls of sugar that have been blown up with compressed air and dunked into grease. More like cotton candy than cake. Too sweet, totally disgusting.

    Spot on with Haggen being the only decent grocery store donut. I actually like them better than Lafeen's.

    My family went through two generations of owning and managing donut shops in SoCal. My grandpa used to buy shops that were mismanaged and rundown, build them up to profitable, flip them for far more than he paid, then move on to the next shop. When my dad was a teenager, and for a brief period after high school, he used to run my grandpa's shop. He claims he was swimming in money for a guy that age at the time. This was all before I was born, but my grandpa kept running shops until my mid-teen years, when he finally retired. I didn't get down to see him much, but on one vacation (we were poors so always drove) we happened to pull into town at like 3:00 in the morning, so he was at the shop doing his baking. I fucking love donuts, so I spent the whole bake with him, fascinated with how each different one was made*. I was about 12 years old at the time, and I remember passing out afterward in the store room on a pile of bags of flower. We left the shop after I got up and carried on south, a giant box of day-olds for the road. They didn't last long.

    *The one that blew my mind was the apple fritter, possibly my favorite donut. They're just scraps. At the end of the bake, they just take all the scraps from all the other donuts, put it in a pile, chop in some apple chunks, and throw it in the fryer.

    csb!

    Sounds like the fritter is the American of donuts.

    The mutt. The scraps, all put together to make something fantastic. Now do what I do, and say what I say...............and make me proud.
