Holey Donuts opens



Holey Donuts! is the ultra low fat shop previously mentioned here and anticipated for the last couple months. I tried the original glazed and the raspberry jelly. They're regular sized. I thought the texture is breadier than other donuts. Interestingly, they don't leave the kind of heart-burny donut aftertaste that Dunkin' Donuts leaves. While they're not as crack-fiend yummy as Doughnut Plant, they're a still quite good. And at 1.50 each, they're cheaper than Doughnut Plant and also cheaper than the organic doughnuts at Coffee Klatch around the corner.

Speaking of coffee, I was surprised to find that the Alaskan Ice Roast coffee (I had it iced, not hot) is outstanding. I had thought, how good could it be? Damn good, and I drink it black, so I'm not talking about prettying it up with syrups and sugars and junk. I look forward to trying their other coffees now.

UPDATE: I completely regret ever posting about this place as I am now the subject of spam campaigns about it. As you can tell from the totally fake comments all left within minutes of each other below (including some personal information I'm sure that woman wouldn't want to share on a blog), someone clearly has an obsession with how Holey Donuts appears on this blog. Rather than be intimidated by legal threats from the proprietor or burdened with the job of constantly deleting the spam I'll make this one note so the few people who happen upon this entry can be aware of what they're seeing. Even though it was more than a year ago, I continue to be burdened by spam and badgering about Holey Donuts.

I think that the idea of a low fat donut is great. These donuts are breadier than a standard donut but they are tasty. I paid $4.11 for an large iced coffee yesterday (nice flavor but I'm not sure what is going on with that price).

I love your donuts! I was introduced to Holey Donuts through ZoneChefs Delivery, and so far I've tried Boston Cream, Lemon, Chocolate Frosted and Raspberry. They are all amazing! It's hard to believe they're low fat. It sounds silly, but I really look forward to the days I find a Holey Donut in my Zone meal bag. They're so yummy, I feel like I'm cheating on my diet. Thanks for the treat!

I completely enjoyed Holey donuts through the ZoneChefs program. It made my day when I would see that I had a Holey Donut on the menu. If you sell out of any midtown or Hoboken locations I would like to know so that I can spread the word!!

after reading and seeing your donuts on the site, i am dying to try them, and have been hoping that someone would come out with a lowfat gourmet donut, for what seems like forever to no avail! i am a donut lover, but have given them up since i have been on a lowfat diet now and those regular donuts from krispie kreme, etc really start to add up in calories in fat!
