Your Mom's Donuts has been on my radar for a few months now, but the 20 minute drive had dissuaded me from making the trek. I want to go back in time and give my former, oh so naive, self a big shake. What was I waiting for?! I missed valuable donut eating months of my life!!!
If you haven't already figured it out (catch up!), Your Mom's Donuts is absolutely delectable. This is why the phrase "everything in moderation" was invented - so future RDs like yours truly can indulge in mouth-watering- dense-but-also-light-and-airy donuts without any regrets.
The donut shop is buried in a strip mall and very unassuming - be careful not to miss it!
They use all locally-sourced and organic ingredients. They also serve local Pure Intentions coffee. Swoon.
We ordered a half-dozen of these bad boys but (oh so unfortunately) could only manage 3.75 donuts between the two of us.
The line-up: Cinnamon Sugar (my #1), Vanilla glazed (TBD), Blackberry with Lemon (So sweet! So tart!), Honey Glaze with Orange, Sugar and graham (TBD), Salted Caramel (literally hot out of the fryer and with flecks of sea salt on top - I MEAN!), and Apple Pie with Apple Cider Glaze (runner-up donut. Caused many groans and exclamations).
We will definitely be back to Your Mom's Donuts. Flavors change every week!
After our donut fest we checked out McAlpine Creek Greenway Park for a nice long walk. Super cool park with tons of trails and lakes. Pairs nicely with the post-donut sugar coma.
What's the best donut you've ever had?!
Girl, if you're in DC in the near future, go to District Donut. BEST donut I've ever had <-- and I eat a lot of doughnuts!
ReplyDeleteAhhh I'm adding it to the list! I 100% trust your judgement with donuts. I'm thinking Sunday Donut Day might just have to become a thing...
