Maplewood, a city of small-town boutiques on street corners, is the community with the petite restaurant named “Strange Donuts.” When walking into the store, one can clearly notice that there are no chairs, tables or decorations on the walls. The place is small, yet very unique.

 Sixteen choices are on display for all customers. Two favorites – “maple bacon” and “campfire” – are clear eye catchers to any hungry visitor. The maple bacon donut is simple. It has just two distinct flavors, as described in its name, which play off of each other to make a sweet, smoky flavor.

The campfire donuts is just as entertaining. Made of a fulfillingly dense chocolate dough glazed with beige, the donut is topped off with one big marshmallow.

The “campfire” donut is very appealing to all chocolate lovers. The only draw back to the donut is that it is a bit dry; however, the melting of the marshmallow makes up for most of this fault.

Other tastes included raspberry filling, cinnamon and raisin, “french toast” and vanilla bean custard. All of them were really good. There seems to be a donut for every desire.

Whichever donut one chooses to eat is bound to please both in taste and appearance. The best part is that they also taste much healthier than other store donuts, particularly because they lack the sugar content of most donuts and are prepared home-made. This assures a genuine taste and leaves the customer much more satisfied. In addition, the prices are very cheap. A random pick of six donuts will very well be under ten dollars, and many of the choices only cost one to two dollars.

“Strange Donuts” is the place to visit: cheap, sweet and simple. Go try it out.
