While we were having dinner across the street, Voodoo Donuts caught my eye.
I knew they have a location on Washington, didn't realized the Montrose location is opened.
Made popular in Portland, Oregon; they are trying to blend in with the locals by highlighting what Houston has to offer.
This is the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cannolo, it really is like eating Reese's Peanut Buttercup but with bread. The dough reminds me of kolache taste, but lighter on texture. I do kinda regret not getting the spicy margarita cannolo though.
In the upper left corner there is part of Tango Mango. It was actually pretty good, it has real slices of mango in there. Not too sour, but has enough of a zing in there. It's pretty good. Though, eating can get messy. Best cut it open.
This is Vicious Hibiscus. The frosting is hibiscus flavor, which you don't see a lot. In Austin, you can find hibiscus tea easily but not so in Houston. So, had to try that. It was sweet but because the texture of the doughnut is the tradition raised yeast, every bite gets a nice little balance in there. The sweet gets to share with the dough, and comes out not too over empowering.
I did see a lot of cake doughnuts and usually that's what I'd go for. Looks like I'll be going back for those. They have the Tradition cake to Old Fashioned. Of course, must try their Bacon Maple Bar, which is what put them on the map. Oh and their Apple Fritter is like 3 times as big as the fritters I've been getting, so that's another visit to itself.
The place is fun, bright, the staff play Japanese Anime theme songs that gets the party mode running. And yes, they are open 24 hours. With so many variety of doughnuts to choose from, you'll be sure to come back to try different ones again and again.
