It’s been a few years since I’ve been to Dipped Donuts, and I figured another visit was probably in order.  Every other doughnut I’ve had from this place has been great, and hey, guess what?  It’s still great.

I’m a big fan of the flavours here, which manage to be unique without ever coming off as gimicky.  Whoever’s coming up with the doughnuts clearly knows what they’re doing.

On this visit I got the saffron pistachio: “filled with pistachio pastry cream and topped with rich saffron glaze, pistachios and rose petals.”

It’s so good; the pistachio filling is creamy and packed with pistachio flavour (and it tastes like real pistachio, not pistachio extract), and the glaze gives it a really nice floral hum that complements the nuttiness perfectly.  It’s sweet, but doesn’t punch you in the face like so many doughnuts do.  It’s great.

And of course, the doughnut itself is as tasty as ever.  Is Dipped Donuts the best doughnut shop in the city?  It might be.
