Pink Dozen

Pink Dozen is a donut (or "doughnut", if you want to get fancy) shop that replaced Variety Donuts. Donuts are fresh made daily; they also sell coffee as well as baked goods such as croissants, scones, and muffins. They continue the Variety Donut tradition of creating jelly donuts by slicing them in half and spreading the jelly in between the halves.

Perhaps the name of the business refers to the ubiquitous pink boxes in which dozens of donuts seem to find themselves.

Alas, I had to eat while driving so I passed it up. Does anyone know the story of whether this is in fact a new owner, or is the new girl just the daughter taking over management? —AndrewPotter

Since I usually limit my doughnut treat to something I pick up at Safeway during a shopping run, I must admit this place was a surprise. The espresso machine was out of order, so I went with regular French 6 with Hazelnut creamer. Niiiice! I always expect some bitterness, but this was definitely as advertised - a gourmet coffee. As to the doughnuts, quite an array. I picked two - an old-fashioned, and a buttermilk, both covered with chocolate. Thickly covered... Although I won't make a habit of it, this is my new go-to doughnut shop! (Although I do need to try their cream-filled, and holes, and...!) —barbararuhmann
