Dunkin Donuts & more

The tiny looking banner... Ofcourse its zoomed, duh!
The title of my blog post says it all. Yes, the most awaited donut store is finally here in Ahmedabad. Foodies from all over the city had flocked to this place, on the first day itself, to get a bite of their infamous donuts, DD is known for. After weeks of planning and researching, we finally got a chance to drop by this donut place and try their confectioneries.


The warm ambience... 
So, when we saw this tiny outlet, in the newly opened CG Square Mall on CG Road, I was completely bewildered. But the moment we opened the door, an aroma blast of chocolate and coffee engulfed us. Without any delay our eyes started to scroll through the menu and the Donuts which[that] were beautifully decked in the glass display. Our eyes got glued to the terms Death by Chocolate and Alive by Chocolate and quickly ordered those along with a Chocolate Cake Donut and the highly favoured Moccachips Cold Cappuccino. While we waited for our order to get processed, we started to check out the ambience. The outlet did seem small from the outside, but the interior was smartly done to give it a spacious and a lively look]. There were different seating arrangements made for different sizes of groups, making it an ideal hangout spot. There are two entry points, one from outside and the other one opens towards the CG Mall. The walls were decked with huge blackboards having witty quotes and eye-catchy drawings scribbled over, that surely grab your attention.


Breathing heavily!
As soon as our order was processed, without any further delay we took our first bites of the tempting chocolate donuts. The supersoft Death by Chocolate donuts, were a marvel. They were regular donut shells with chocolate cream, chocolate sprinkles and cream toppings and had a gooey molten chocolate in the center. The Alive by Chocolate donut, was the same but had different toppings. It had crushed chocolate cookie crumbs with the same molten chocolate surprise filling. The Chocolate Cake Donut did look delicious with the chocolate icing and rainbow sprinkles, but was dry and tasteless. Or maybe our expectations soared sky-high after having the Death by Chocolate and Alive by Chocolate donuts, that we found these a bit bland and not upto the mark. But the taste was compensated well with the Moccachips Cold Cappuccino. It was a perfect blend of cold chocolate and strong coffee, topped with a thick layer of nicely whipped cream and lots of choco-chips. Slurping it slowly was a delight in itself. Phew, all of it was so filling and heavy, we couldnt ask for anything else.


Breathing more heavily!
DD is a must go for all those young by heart ! After all age is just a number, ehh ! And the Death by Chocolate and Alive by Chocolate donuts are the best things to try. We did manage to have a glimpse of some killer burgers out there, but we were too full to have anything further. Will surely go again to try some other donuts and some other burgers and eatables at DD. Till then, Happy hogging!
