Israeli bakery Donutelier by Roladin opened its doors at the end of last year, bringing a range of designer doughnuts to London's streets. The bakery is located on Charing Cross Road, around the corner from Leicester Square and Covent Garden. Their doughnuts are famous in Israel with special seasonal ones for Hanukkah. I visited in time to try the Easter treats as they do bring out seasonal designs, and the Easter selection includes vanilla, chocolate, or pistachio doughnuts with a chocolate and almond egg nest on top.
I had the pistachio one as pistachio is one of my favourite flavours. It did not disappoint. The doughnut itself is light and flufffy, and it was packed full of filling - a pistachio cream. I also had a hot chocolate to wash it down with.
I also photographed some of the other options on the menu.
The cafe is located at the corner of Charing Cross Road and Great Newport Street, so literally near Leicester Square and Covent Garden. I walked down from Tottenham Court Road.
After having the doughnut in the cafe, I bought two more to take away to try and to offer to a friend. I bought the Pink Royal, a doughbut that tastes a lot like an English Eton Mess with raspberry, cream, and meringe. I also bought the Chocolate Sprinkles, which is a sweet chocolate doughnut covered with multi-coloured sprinkles; it looks like a celebration birthday cake.
After the doughnut, I had a walk to Covent Garden and admired the different floral displays, including a special "Peter Rabbit" theme for Easter.
Happy Easter to all of my readers.
