Sweet glossy glazes are used to decorate doughnuts in this region, which are made US-style with fluffy, light dough. There are no pre-prepared toppings at Grumpy Donuts; a great doughnut, they feel, should be more unique and require some actual work. The Buttered Toast is a popular choice here. In addition to The Apple Fritter and many other flavors, you’ll find Gin & Juice among others.
