This maple almond cinnamon donut from Ye Olde Donut was so good, I had to go back for a second one.

With a sweet maple frosting and a crinkly glazed exterior, this donut ($2.68 with tax) looked like a regular frosted donut, but it was not a regular donut. This was a donut that did something with its life. Elevated beyond reguar donuts, this frosted donut had a fluffy yeast middle swirled into a circle with cinnamon specks in between. There was no hole in this donut.
Gaze upon this beautiful underside.

It was everything I wanted in a donut and more. The best bite had the soft, fresh donut with a crunch from the almond slivers, sweetness from the maple frosting, and flakes of the glaze. This donut was on point when I had mine on Saturday morning, and if you find yourself needing a morning pick me up, this maple almond cinnamon roll donut would do it.
