After our Lunar New Year dinner at Happy Noodle House, we decided to take a walk to Breka Bakery & Café for something sweet. The bakery’s display cases is filled with an array of goodies making it difficult to decide. My husband opted for the Salted Pecan Maple Donut, while I went with the London Fog Donut.

As we took our first bites, we quickly realized that both donuts were much sweeter than we liked. While I do enjoy sweets, I prefer them to have a more balanced sweetness rather than an overpowering sugar rush. In hindsight, I should have played it safe and gone with a classic glazed donut. That said, for those with a true sweet tooth, both of these donuts would be a delight.
What stood out the most, however, was the dough itself. Both donuts had an incredibly soft, airy texture that made each bite light despite the overly sweet frosting.
