Save some dough with these National Doughnut Day deals
Today is National Donut Day and whether you like the classics or something new, local shops have some deals for you.
Sugar Twist Bakery (9500 Brimhall Road, Suite 507; 5511 Calloway Drive, Suite 100): The bakery that normally goes all out for the holiday is back with 15 specialty doughnut flavors.
At the top of the list are mochi doughnuts, which are a hybrid of a cake doughnut and mochi (Japanese rice cakes). Those new-to-the-shop treats will be available in specialty options of Oreo, fruity pebbles and ube (purple yam) coconut.
Also on the list is a special version of its New Yorker, modeled after the Cronut, a croissant-doughnut hybrid. Customers will be able to pick up a guava cream cheese version today.
Fruit will also be featured in the strawberry custard shortcake, banana cream pie, coconut cream pie, peanut butter banana fritter, blueberry cream cheese (blueberry compote, cream cheese filling and graham cracker crumbles), ube coconut (ube jam and coconut cream filling with coconut flakes) and vegan passionberry (with passionfruit frosting) doughnuts.
Other indulgent options include the baconator (chunks of bacon on a maple raised doughnut), dirt and worms (chocolate cream, Oreo and gummy worms on top), red velvet cream cheese, and M&M’s (chocolate icing, topped with mini M&M’s).
One of the most notable items that we are noticing people are excited about is the Mochi donuts, which is a hybrid between a cake donut and chewy mochi (Japanese rice cakes).
Customers can buy three, get one free on the specialty flavors. They will also receive a free regular doughnut with any purchase.
