I love donuts. That being said, I'm always trying new places. Dutch Monkey is a more upscale boutique donut place. I tried their Boston Creme, a chocolate covered, a chocolate pie and cinnamon sugar. The cinnamon sugar was the best of the lot with a...good taste (very dense donut). The Boston Creme and chocolate frosted did not appeal to me. I think it's the chocolate their dip their donuts in. Maybe it's got dark chocolate or something else but the taste is almost bitter or sour, did not like it at all. The Boston Creme had very thick creme inside, plus the bottom was thin so it started busting out as soon as you took a bite.
The store itself is very clean and a bit eclectic. The wait staff was extremely attentive, helpful and friendly. My problem was not with the staff but with the product itself, it just didn't appeal to me. Plus, it's a bit pricey, about $2.35 for one Boston Creme (yes, I realize these are fancy, boutique donuts). Probably wouldn't visit again but they seemed hopping while we were there so it must appeal to someone.More
