“Mmm donuts” is probably the best thing Homer Simpson has ever said. I absolutely love donuts, but since becoming vegan, finding donuts has been really hard. So naturally, when I heard that a new local shop had vegan donuts, I had to go. Last week we visited Kudough Donuts (for the sixth time, oops), a local company serving gourmet handmade doughnuts, located in Calle Cerra, Santurce.
This place was definitely created for people who love unique food experiences! Their main focus is brioche dough donuts & vegan donuts; some made with champagne, whiskey, hazelnut spread, key lime pie, vegan passion fruit cream, well you name it, they might have it!
Each doughnut has its own personality; none of them are exactly the same shape or size, which allows you to appreciate the handmade quality of the product. Keep in mind that the menu changes frequently, so the same doughnuts aren’t always available every day.
The interior of the shop reveals beautifully handcrafted KuDonuts, as well as locally crafted beers, cocktails, coffee, and wine.
For now, they only have two vegan donuts available: braided glazed donut and, coconut & passion fruit cream filled donut. After visiting a couple of times and trying them both, I have to say that I absolutely love the one filled with coconut & passion fruit. I was very skeptical at first, but it turned out to be super refreshing with a nice cream to donut ratio. The main ingredients are Sir Galahad Enriched Artisan Flour, coconut milk & coconut oil.
Oh, and they pair amazingly well with an Ocean Lab beer since it has an orange aftertaste, in a lovely & cozy environment.
The donut shop is dangerously close to my university, which means that I might be going there more times than I should. But I definitely don’t mind! It’s always an enjoyable experience and the perfect place to indulge before class.
If you find your self in Santurce, definitely check the place out, it will not disappoint.
Happy Monday!
