Overview
If your Tuesday could be improved by a piece of fried dough confectionery or two — and whose couldn't, really? — then prepare to have your day made. All you'll need is your wallet, a healthy appetite and to be in the vicinity of the Queen Street Mall between 10am and 11am.
For one hour only, eight different types of doughnut goodness will be on offer at the pop-up stall Brisbane had to have. And when it comes to giving thanks, the legends at Gramercy Coffee in the Wintergarden are the ones to acknowledge for this gift of a mid-morning taste sensation.
Expect Boston crème, vanilla milk glaze, creme patissiere and espresso custard offerings, plus carrot cake, chocolate cake, lemon curd and blueberry jelly. If ever there was a snack to accompany your usual coffee break — which Gramercy can also help you with, of course — it's these glazed, filled morsels.
Regulars will know that the cafe is no stranger to the joys of doughnuts, with its display cabinet often lined with an assortment of the sweet treats in a range of flavours. Here's hoping this pop-up is a sign of tastier things to come, and of more capitalising upon the city's current obsession with everything round, doughy and pastry-like.
Find Gramercy's Doughnut Pop-Up in the Queen Street Mall from 10am til 11am on September 1, and visit the event Facebook page for more information.
