I came here for the first time for the Scribe book sale and I have to admit a venue that combines cheap books and donuts had me at hello. I’m unsure when it would come in handy but they also seem to sell Melbourne Bitter, so you can rock a tinny with your donut if that floats your boat.

All day. This is how long I could spend here eating all the delicious donuts. All day. Not moving at all. Just devouring doughy-goodness. This place is in the top 3 of donut deliciousness that Melbourne is currently embracing in all it’s glazed goodness. The donuts here are surprisingly light and fluffy. We ended up with a crème brûlée and a jaffa. I’m still drooling at the thought of how good these were. The Jaffa truly captured the choc-orange flavouring without having either flavour dominate. The crème brûlée was a little on the ugly side to look at. A bit new born squished face. But all was forgiven after the first chomp into the doughy goodness. The café space here is within a warehouse zone. There’s some great retro styling going on here. Beverage wise you can get brewed coffee, some cold drinks and some alcoholic drinks.

I never thought I would line up for one hour to buy donuts. Hidden in an old warehouse in the back streets of Brunswick, these legends have aced the donut scene and happen to be the same champs behind the Taco truck and the beatbox kitchen. They are only open Fri and Sat 8am — 3pm(with Sunday being introduced soon) because they spend all week baking the ingredients — even the rubble and freckles are hand made. It’s too die for. Five flavours alternating each week. Soft, Fluffy, Sweet and seriously yummy! The donuts are made on site and you can see the bakers working their magic and smell the sweet aromas drifting from the kitchen. There is coffee available but you’ll have to excuse my ignorance for not knowing exactly what brand. I made the wise choice to quit caffeine drinks some years back. I think it could be an Ethiopian brand. Nothing else for sale yet though just donuts and coffee. Whatever you do make sure you roll heads to get the coffee glaze with passionfruit curd and chocolate rubble because it will change your life, it appeared popular and was running out quickly. My advice is to be at the door by 8am. All flavours will be available and you’ll be able to buy a stash. By the time we got there it was mid arvo and max purchase of two each. A big bunch of poor buggers behind us missed out. If you want to take a little rest and watch the rows of people pass in and out then just take a seat indoors at the many available tables. Keep kicking goals Brunswick and welcome to the hood All Day Donuts!
