Sublime Donuts, the Westside

Saturday morning and donuts seem like a ubiquitous tradition but since I am no longer living with parents or have kids of my own I cannot remember the last time I have enjoyed a donut on such a morning. But luckily having no engagements this past Saturday I decided to venture to the Westside and try what has been said to be one of America’s best donut shops. I am not going to lie and say I got there at the crack of dawn to secure a delightful treat because the owners of Sublime are smart and realize that donuts can be enjoyed whenever even on Saturday “morning” at 1 in the afternoon; donuts are always coming out and always fresh. I tried the Honey Glazed Cinnamon Swirl and the Deep Dark Chocolate Fudge. I didn’t go with anything crazy and wanted to start off slow with what I am sure will be a regular spot of mine. Neither donuts were your run of the mill belly bombers that makes your stomach hurt for hours after it has touched your lips. The cinnamon wasn’t too overbearing  for the honey glaze and didn’t take away from the delicate cake. The chocolate fudge didn’t interfere with the fluffiness of the donut base, which can happen when donuts are not cared for and mass-produced. The proportions of defining ingredients for both donuts is right on the money. The shop is clean and quick with a decent selection of drinks and toys to occupy its younger fans. In my book this place gets two thumbs up and whether I’m having a bad Tuesday or a lazy Saturday I will know where to go.
