Doughnuts And Bus stops

There's this one bus stop on the 25 route- it's the one before where all the bus-inspector raids are done, and so i always get off there and get away with not paying the fare. Somehow, walking towards home from that bus stop, i always smell the tantilising aroma of fresh doughnuts. You know, that smell of hot oil, sugar and dough. It makes my mouth water all the time. I swear its coming from one of the flats in the building that is facing the street. The smell, just so good......Maybe its a home bakery.....i really should find out, shouldnt i?

Not known to many is the Krispy Kreme shop in Holborn. It's also on the 25 route. I have on a few occasions, jumped off the bus for doughnuts, only to find myself walking to Oxford Street because it takes the same amount of time as waiting for the next bus. Hot Krispy Kremes are one of life's joys. Some of them are so sweet-never take the maple covered doughnut unless its with black coffee (even better, make it an expresso). That maple doughnut is what you need if you're feeling a bit hypoglycemic. What's interesting is that many friends of fine who are huge fans of Krispy Kremes dont know about the shop in Holborn. It is small-just a hole in the wall really, albeit a sweet, heavenly, calorific hole in the wall.

Budgens has a good range of French Delicattesen doughnuts as well. I only see them in the one under the mile end bridge though. There's regular doughnuts, mini ones and lovely filled ones. My personal favourite is the chocolate, but there's toffee, strawberry and apple. They're filled with so much filing that you get a mini explosion of filling in your mouth. Once i managed to get chocolate all over my jumper, and even on my trekkie bottoms-that's what i got for being greedy and digging into my doughnuts before i got home. And yes, this branch of budgens is on the trusty 25 route and the doughnuts are conveniently shelved near the entrance.

I will have doughnuts for breakfast tomorrow!
