Overview
You already know them, you already love them — and you've already had a religious experience while eating them. So it will delight you to hear that Grumpy Donuts (makers of the above God-like alluded-to doughnuts) is opening an IRL store later this month. Best hit the gym now while your face isn't full of fried dough and bacon bits.
It was inevitable that the Sydney doughnut geniuses would eventually put down some roots because their delivery system has been going gangbusters for the last year and a half. Their new store will open at an as-yet-unconfirmed Camperdown address later this month with an in-store barista brewing coffee to counteract the sugar crash of your inevitable hedonistic doughnut spree. If you're acquainted with Grumpy's creations, you'll be happy to know their regular flavours — like original glazed, buttered toast, sour patch jam and dark choc mint — will be available along with weekly changing specials.
Currently, Grumpy only deliver their decadent creations on Thursdays and Fridays (and occasionally head up a stall when the Flour Market is in town), but the store will be open for longer trading hours, meaning no day of the week is safe from a maple bacon doughnut attack. But you'll have to get in quick because the teeny store will only seat nine lucky customers at a time.
Watch this space for an opening date and address. While you wait, plan your TGIF doughnut order. Will it be s'mores or choc Oreo peanut butter? The hardest choice of all.
Grumpy Donuts will open later this month in Camperdown. For more details as they're announced, keep an eye on their Facebook page.
