Cronuts on the Crooked

The internet offers a plethora of information. Recently, I was scrolling my Reddit feed and hit an interesting question on “r/bend”.

What are some good doughnut places?

Well, this is a topic I can confidently handle. So, I dove into the conversation.

The posts were a mix of the usual spots, most of them known, tried and never re-visited. However, in the midst of all these regular stops, was one not recognized. This required a bit more digging.

Delish Doughnuts is tucked into a strip mall on the north side of Bend.

Its signature offering is something called “Cronuts,” a cross between a croissant and a doughnut. What is not to like about that combo?

We had planned a jaunt to the Crooked River, so it was a simple task to take a side trip to the doughnut shop and see what the fuss was all about.

The Cronut was good, flaky as you might imagine, and lightly glazed.

However, the real star of the morning was a chocolate frosted chocolate cake. This tender morsel was not just cake-like, but actually tasted like chocolate.

Frosting and cake were on point. We will return.

Now that we were properly fueled up, it was time to hit the stream.

And then this happened ….

I guess winter still has a few surprises in store for us   .   .   .
