I’ve had doughnuts split in half with berries before but their sweet, custard-like cream took the concept to a new level. The Fresh Strawberry N Cream Doughnut was loaded with super fresh berries. Have you ever noticed how happy people are when they order doughnuts? They seemed especially happy at Sublime Doughnuts. (Spoiler Alert: You’re about to get real hungry real fast.) (Spoiler Alert: Look for some low-fat posts next month.) I was thinner back then… before the holiday meals… four days ago. Trays and trays of beautiful, delicious doughnuts. A bookcase near the entrance shows off fun doughnut paraphernalia. It’s an unassuming little place in small shopping plaza.īut the second that you walk in, you can tell that these guys are serious about doughnuts. Sublime Doughnuts doesn’t look very exciting on the outside. (The “A” in the picture above stands for A-Town… Atlanta. It felt like a Christmas miracle (and sort of smelled like one too). Finally, I was there… drooling over the real thing. I’d been drooling over pictures of their creations for years. My research on people doing new and innovative things with doughnuts has taken me to their website several times.

I found myself in Atlanta, Georgia at a place called Sublime Doughnuts. As Sublime brags on its website, “doughnuts are the street thug of the pastry world,” and these doughnuts will certainly kidnap your taste buds and put you in a sugar coma.A couple of days ago, my quest to find the greatest doughnuts in America crossed paths with my holiday travel plans. Whether it’s just for a nice breakfast or a gift for a special occasion, a Sublime doughnut will definitely fit the bill. So while the trip to Sublime may take you a little bit farther down 10th Street than you are used to, it is unquestionably worth the drive. The dough was so light and the ingredients were so fresh that we weren’t overcome by a heavy, gross feeling (even though we had just eaten a dozen doughnuts by ourselves). In fact, my friends and I felt we could go another round (and we almost did). The $17 price for a dozen of these tasty doughnuts felt like a steal.Īfter consuming that many doughnuts, I realized another fabulous aspect of Sublime-eating multiple doughnuts did not make me feel terrible or twist my stomach into debilitating knots, like eating at so many other doughnut establishments might. Each one has a quirky name or flavor, and the prices range from $1 to $2 per doughnut. On its website, Sublime boasts 26 doughnut flavors at any given time but sometimes adds specialty doughnuts for holidays or other occasions.

I simply couldn’t get enough until the box was totally empty. I grabbed like a madman at the doughnuts and had to restrain myself in fear of a serious stomach ache. I almost didn’t come up for air after diving into my dozen because I never wanted to stop filling my face with these delectable treats. From the Fresh Strawberry N Creme to the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup doughnut, each flavor was absolutely fabulous. So for about an hour, two friends and I sat and tasted (demolished) a dozen of the most prominent of Sublime’s recipes. I, being an excellent reporter, made it my goal to sample almost every one of Sublime’s sublime flavors. Nothing in the store is really that fancy, except for the long list of gourmet doughnuts that sits on the counter.

Eclectic artwork lines the walls and a prominent graffiti reading “Sublime” greets each customer as they enter the shop. Sublime Doughnuts sits tucked in a small shopping center near Georgia Tech in a one-room shop, with a couple of nicely arranged couches and tables. But after tasting many of the mouth-watering doughnuts offered at Sublime Doughnuts, I knew it had been totally worth it. As I watched the dozen doughnuts dwindle away and powdered sugar pile up in front of me, I wondered if eating four large doughnuts in one sitting had been a mistake.
