In a delicious declaration, an Upstate New York doughnut shop known for its square-shaped treats has been named on a national list for the best in the country.
The shop, which opened in the Capital Region in 2020, serves a rotating menu of square-shaped, yeast-based doughnuts in over 90 different handcrafted flavors. Depending on the week you may get to try caramel stroopwafel, orange creamsicle, root beer float or Arnold Palmer doughnuts.
There are also nostalgic childhood flavors like Dunkaroos, Lucky Charms, and Cosmic Brownies. The only flavors served each week are their most popular: the cinnamon sugar with a spicy twist Churro flavor and the sparkly and swirly Galaxy Glazed.
Once a month, Darling Doughnuts also serves what they call “doughrogies” doughnut-pierogi hybrid which get turned into savory flavors like everything bagel or pizza with cheese, tomatoes and pesto.
In addition to the cases of their yeast doughnuts, they also offer additional breakfast selections like cake doughnuts and homemade pop-tarts.
