Overview
One of Queensland's favourite sources of doughy deliciousness has expanded pretty damn rapidly over the last 12 months. Brisbane's Doughnut Time has opened multiple pop-ups and a whopping 11 Australian stores across Brissy, Melbourne, Gold Coast and Sydney, plus they've got a roving van in Brisbane — despite having been in business for just over a year. And now? They're headed for the beach.
This Saturday, April 2, Doughnut Time is set to open their next Sydney instalment at Bondi. Located at Shop 1, 82 Gould Street, the store will be pumping out doughnuts seven days a week until 11pm. Of course, the full rotating range of delectable iced, filled bites will be on offer, so prepare to devour the Melon Degeneres with watermelon and sour green glaze, the pretzel-topped George Costanza, the Wake Me Up Before You Vovo (a doughy with a light strawberry glaze, jam and coconut marshmallows), and the Fruit Loop-laden Cereal Killer, among others. Picking something based on its name alone is completely acceptable.
Every good store opening needs a celebratory novelty schtick to kick things off right? Doughnut Time will be handing out 1000 free giant inflatable doughnuts to first-in, best-dressed from 11am. You'll use this inflatable to redeem a free doughnut of your choice. And we'd use it on their limited edition Blue Crush doughnut, with honeycomb and blue cream glaze, crushed biscuits, a tiny chocolate surfboard and a candy beach ball.
Doughnut Time have expanded incredibly fast in a very short amount of time despite having been in business for just over a year. In Sydney, you'll find them in Glebe, Central Park in Chippendale, Newtown and Topshops across the city. Next stop? Tokyo. Really.
Doughnut Time opens at Shop 1, 82 Gould Street, Bondi Beach on Saturday, April 2 at 11am. Find more Doughnut Time locations on the website.
