Just as sneakerheads line up for hot releases, doughnutheads stake their places on the sidewalk outside this one-of-a-kind shop to try limited-edition flavors like S’mores or Chocolate Churro. There are filled and old-fashioned-style donuts to sample, but the stars of the monthly changing line-up are the light and fluffy, oversized brioche dough orbs. Go early because sellouts are a regularity.
