Carpe Donuts

I visited Charlottesville, VA for a weekend trip a couple weeks back, and my heart was set on getting the apple cider donuts. Ever since apple picking for the first time this past fall, I've been craving apple cider donuts, because I thought they would turn out to be the better tasting cousin of cinnamon sugar donuts.

I went to Carpe Donuts, a donut shop that only makes one kind of donuts - apple cider ones, and the donut shop that had been previously elusive on my other visits to Cville. Every time I attempted to go, they were closed!! Such preposterous events would occur in small towns.

The donuts were on the smaller side, and they were priced fairly (can't remember), and were very fresh. They were warm still, and it possessed the crisp and crunch on the exterior and the light and fluffy on the interior. I definitely like them better than cinnamon sugar donuts. I didn't really taste the apple part, but to me, it was slightly sweeter and less cinnamon-y than a cinnamon sugar donut. I liked this place a lot, and one donut definitely didn't suffice for breakfast. I'd rate this place a 4; I was happy with the donut, it was good enough for me to go back for, it was a great yeast donut, but it doesn't have the bang that accompanies a 5 star donut.
