A new doughnut store has opened its first bakery in Bristol - and we’ve already sampled a batch.
Crosstown, at 21 Queens Rd, will give away its signature Tongan Vanilla Bean Glaze and Dark Chocolate Truffle doughnuts from 12pm on February 25 as a lunchtime treat. BristolWorld’s Mark Taylor has been lucky enough to get his hands on a batch of six doughnuts to taste before the giveaway.
The bakery already has stores in London, Cambridge, Oxford, and Brighton. Co-founder Adam Willis said: “We want them to experience the magic of great coffee and fresh sourdough doughnuts. Our site in Clifton offers our customers a chance to relax and watch the world go by. It is clear to us that Bristol is a city that is all about supporting its community, we look forward to getting out and doing our part as well.”
Featuring the aforementioned signature treats along with a few surprise combinations of flavours, here is Mark’s verdict:
5. Vegan strawberry cheesecake
A clever twist on the classic summer cheesecake with a dusting of crumbs and jammy filling. | Mark Taylor
6. Chocolate truffle doughnut
Rich and indulgent, this luxury doughnut has a thick layer of dark chocolate and a light dusting of bitter cocoa powder | Mark Taylor
7. Crosstown Doughnuts has opened its first store in Bristol and will be giving away 250 free doughnuts to lunchtime customers today (February 25).
