Crosstown Doughnuts (Soho)

• The banana cream filling was amazeballs
• I paired this with a lovely soy chai latte
• I have to say was quite small
• A sweet but silky banana cream filling is encased in Crosstown&rsquo
• We then top it all off with a generous swirl of sea salt caramel and a divine chocolate soil
• You can now get bite sized versions (pictured below) which are bloody marvellous
• S formulation is unlike the usual doughnut affair
• Raspberry Jam Doughnut | Filled with homemade fresh raspberry jam
• Matcha Tea Doughnut | Green tea flavoured doughnut with a vanilla glaze on top
• Mini Chocolate and Passionfruit Doughnut | filled with tangy passionfruit curd and topped with milk chocolate and freeze dried passion fruit pieces
• Firstly the store itself is super cute
• I opted for the Banana Caramel doughnut which was to die for and a flat white
• The banana caramel was incredible
• Their doughnuts are just stunning
• Would recommend anything with caramel really
• Around the doughnut was a hard sugar coating but the best thing about it is the creme centre
• One of the best places to stop for a treat in London
• I had read up a lot about best doughnuts to try in London and Crosstown was featured in many of the articles so I had to give it a try
• The back wall of the store is beautifully decorated with the wide selection of the doughnuts
• I did find the premium doughnuts to be a little overpriced but was happy to pay for the experience
• When I walked in I loved the way the donuts were presented behind the glass
• Not all doughnuts are created equal
• An empty stomach is a dangerous thing to have when walking around Soho
• Temptation is everywhere and despite your best intentions
• Their doughnuts are simply divine
• The staff here is super nice
• I had an apple/pear crumble donut and it was hands down the most spectacular donut I've ever had
• Make way for the Choc Cinnamon Scroll with Passionfruit Curd
• Crosstown Doughnuts is now a popular doughnut brand in London
• The mini coffee cream was delicious too
• The roast they use for their coffee is not my thing and really didn't like it
• Definitely worth going just keep in mind the place is very small and does get crowded quickly
• Didn't think the dough was that great
• Donuts here are usually good
• As is the case with filled donuts
• Often times you find you only have a few bites with jam in them
• The chocolate is also quite subtle for a donut described as Black Forest
• Thyme (8/10) All of the flavors promised with this donut are delivered aggressively without being overbearing
• Sea Salt Caramel Banana (5/10) Banana custard filled chocolate donut topped with sea salted caramel
• Unfortunately I think that the chocolate used for the base is a bit too bitter
• A crunch on top that is reminiscent of the source that it draws from
• Matcha Tea (8/10) The matcha flavor here is very present
• Interesting mixture with the blueberry jam
• The real star was actually the bun
• Even though the parlour itself is very small
• I was very impressed with the decoration
• Crosstown Doughnuts must have comissioned street artist Nathan Bowen to develop a few sketches which are currently up on the wall
• Though Crosstown has some coverage with four stores across the scene
• With a fruit compote with mint infused white chocolate icing
• You can feel that with every bite having chunks of fruit
• Many of which are vegan so that everyone can enjoy a naughty treat
• Filled with jam or finished with a glaze that satisfies my taste buds
• Crosstown doughnuts started their humble beginnings with a stall at Leather Lane market
• The sweetness is just right
• It does come with a price being £
