Holly’s Junk Food Review Series: 5 Daughters Bakery Doughnuts

Happy Happy Thursday y’all!!! and Happy Junk Food Review Day! 😀

It’s no secret that my dessert/cheat day obsession is doughnuts, so obviously I’m always on the prowl lookout for new and exciting doughnut places.  Don’t get me wrong, Krispy Kreme is the OG and they will always be a favorite of mine due to their delicious consistency, but there’s something to be said about a local doughnut shop.

Due to the whole doughnut stalking problem that I just mentioned, I had already heard of 5 Daughters Bakery because they’re known for their ‘100 layer doughnut’ which is basically one big ass giant cronut.  Well, I figured I would give them a try if I was ever back in Nashville again, then low and behold, one day I heard angels sing the totally amazing news that they were opening one at Ponce City Market, right here in the ATL, which ironically is where my gym is haha.  Obviously I knew I had to get there ASAP my next cheat day when they opened. 

Here’s their cute doughnut box, which BTW only holds 6 of these things because they’re so massive…

How glorious do these look?…

Here’s their most popular one, the vanilla cream frosted & vanilla cream infused (oh yes)…

Cut in half (you can’t see it, but this is filled with that awesome cream)…

Alrighty, now to the review…so basically these are absolutely incredible.  You would think that as enormous that these are they would be dry, but they’re totally not.  They’re buttery, fluffy and absolutely decadent with that incredible swiss buttercream frosting on top and bonus, they are filled with it!  I think they may have created the most perfect doughnut (well for me anyway), it takes the best of a croissant, a doughnut and they made the most perfect light and fluffy buttercream (not too sweet at all, I promise) to go with it.  My absolutely only complaint is how dang expensive these are.  Since I knew I wanted to buy enough to share with friends & family, try all of their flavors and do a review of them, I wanted to pre-order them to make sure I got what I wanted because I know they sell out really quickly.  Well, their rule is that pre-orders can only be made if no less than 3 dozen are bought, ok fine, but that was almost $200!!! (seriously, I started to wonder if they’re made by unicorns or something, sheez) I probably looked like the biggest maniac when I left their with 7 boxes and 2 giant bags to carry them haha.  What I do suggest if you are near one of these delectable bakeries, is just get there prior to them opening and pick out some good ones, and trust me, they’re all good.  Aside from being ding dang expensive, they still get a 10 out of 10.

  Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!!!
