    i tried vinco's donuts before the craze started, and they were amazing. what struck me was the soft cushy dough used, nothing like the four leaves / neighbourhood bakery rainbow donut we grew up with..

    then ytd, a colleague bought a few boxes (now with an adorable new name - dippin' donuts) back and i tried the flavor with white colored spread and coffee powder. unidentifiable flavor, good taste. the choc flavor is so-so and the almond & white spread one was sublime.

    i think i'd rather stick with my first impression, when it was still vinco's

      Was at Vivo a while back when I spotted Vinco donuts. As the queue was "queue-able", we joined in. We noticed couple of reasons why the queue is forever so long. Its not cos there wasn't enough donuts! Well, the queue could have gone faster if the specialists move at a quicker pace, the specialist breaks out of their comfort zone and help out with the serving (instead of folding more boxes when its already so high up and falling) and if the people could have made their decision while waiting in the queue instead of starting to think what to order when they’ve reached the counter!

      Being a good girl, I keep chanting my order while waiting in line, hoping that this will help those poor people who are waiting behind to speed it up a few seconds… but sad to say, the packing specialist took too gentle care of the donuts and slowed things up again…

      Well, with the queueing and waiting aside, the donuts were quite yummy. Quite tasty and spongie. So if you happen to pass by and the queue seems bearable, give it a try. Don’t just buy 1, buy all the flavours if you can afford to! Cos you’ll never know when will be the next time when the queue is “queue-able”.

      Updates: With effect from 22nd August Vinco - The Doughnut Parlour has been rename as Dippin`Donut

        With the doughnut craze blowing through our island, my sister apparently got affected and went to queue at Vinco doughnut palour today.

        Looking through the website, and comparing the actual doughnuts with the pictures..really, technology does wonders. It does look so much more appealing on the websites. =/

        As for the taste, I'll raise two hands up in agreement with what they have stated on their site: "we sell works of art laid on fried pieces of dough". Yup. That's how it tasted. The "works of art" were the "works of art" while the dough was dough. The 2 did not seem to blend in well together and..it just tasted like any bakery's doughnut.

        What was so special about it? *shrugs* No idea.

        I had the Chocolate Delight doughnut and..for me, it just tasted like chocolate on dough. As simple as that. Nothing special in my opinion. It can totally be comparable to Nutella spread on plain white bread. So..what is so attractive about the doughnuts? The design on the doughnuts? *hmm*

        Maybe it's just the craze that gets everyone queuing. *shrugs*
