Not long ago, he had contemplated about the state of donuts in Brooklyn, and in particular, Bay Ridge. The best word that Ridgeites can best describe that is "stagnant" and it's been that way for years. As most everyone knows, besides Dunkin' Donuts there were, and still are very few choices to be had. In fact, Dunkin' readily admits most of their donuts are not made onsite but prepared at a central facility to be trucked to franchisees. Fast-forward a few years later, a space that suited their needs opened up and the rest is history. Thus, the first gourmet donut shop in southern Brooklyn that it could call its own, was born.
By comparison, Darn Donuts compares more favorably to the likes of Doughnut Plant's yeast-based doughnuts, in terms of creativity & availability, not so much Dunkin' Donuts. While we're on the topic of comparisons, donut shops run synonymous with coffee and they answer the call well with their own offering of regular, decaf, medium roast, dark roast, and espresso-based drinks. Add that to your list of spots for your daily coffee intake. Down the road, WiFi will be offered, and a new donut (special) offered monthly.
