Review 2 - Crosstown Doughnuts

My friend and I were wandering through Spitalfields market last Sunday morning on our way to Brick Lane to get some brunch. We both ended up having something completely different to what we had been craving at Brick Lane, but that was A ok. We spent a good while browsing around the market at Brick Lane, waiting for our "brunch" to settle some, and went downstairs into their vintage market, where I discovered that I desperately wanted a red leather jacket and could not find one in my size. It's always the way isn't it? You find something in a vintage sale or charity shop that you love and it's never ever in your size.

Anyway, after some moseying we decided to head back to Spitalfields and grab some dessert. Our sweet tooths were not satisfied with our very savoury brunch. On our way through the first time we had walked past a load of different stalls, but one in particular had caught my attention.

Crosstown Doughnuts.

I watch a Youtube channel called SortedFood (they're great, seriously, check them out) and they occasionally go out of the kitchen to try and find London's best *fill in the blank*. They had got some Crosstown Doughnuts in this video and I thought they looked absolutely incredible. So there was no choice really. Doughnuts it was.

What makes Crosstown Doughnuts different is that they use an incredible sourdough base to their doughnuts. It is seriously good. It just adds a different texture to the doughnut than the traditional and isn't overly sweet, which is just exactly what we needed.

I ended up having the "Sea Salt Caramel Banana" doughnut, which is made with a chocolate sourdough base, filled with banana custard and topped off with sea salt caramel and chocolate soil. It was heavenly. My friend had the "Raspberry Jam", which was apparently very good. It certainly went quickly!

They are slightly spendy for a doughnut, with mine at £4.00 and the raspberry jam at £3.50 (maybe, can't remember, but Deliveroo says these prices), but they were seriously seriously good.

Crosstown Doughnuts have a load of locations across London and do delivery of doughnut boxes to your home, office etc. I'd recommend giving them a go if you're in the market for something sweet!
