Daydreaming About Donuts (in Mary's Daily Dish)

Call it what you will; Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras,”pancake day” (in France) or, as I knew it growing up; Fausnaught Day (aka Donut Day).

And just in time for Fausnaught Day, our very own West Chester Scoop has a delicious addition to their menu. DONUTS! Delicious, can’t-stop-thinking-about-them donuts.

These made-to-order donuts are the best I’ve had the pleasure of tasting. They are made with an apple-cider batter, fried to perfection and topped to your liking.

Enjoy powdered sugar, cinnamon and sugar, vanilla glaze, chocolate glaze, honey or plain. Of course, you can add sprinkles and, for those who are feeling as adventurous as I was, request a “hole in one,” a hot, fresh donut topped with your favorite scoop of ice cream (I recommend the honey-bun ice cream on top of a cinnamon-sugar donut for a fabulously guilty breakfast).

West Chester Scoop also offers Bucks County Coffee in various flavors. Short: $1.64; Tall: $1.86; Grande: $1.96. You are missing out if you don’t stop by to try this delightful combo for yourself.

One donut: $.65
1/2 Dozen: $3.50
Dozen: $7.00

The Final Dish:

Don’t be greedy! Get a dozen or two of warm deliciousness for church, work, home or parties. You’ll be oh so popular!

You are a fabulous addition to West Chester and everything you do is over and beyond expectation. You market yourselves with such enthusiasm. I love the Hole in One idea. I’ll be by with my family to try it out

These donuts are FANTASTIC! And I must admit, a little addicting… but it’s ok, i’ll succumb, maybe daily…

Comment Guidelines

Be Respectful. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?: Although the old saying, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all," is swell, we encourage constructive feedback (ie, be polite), and recommend backing-up your comments with evidence/witnesses.
Be Honest. Look where it got Abe Lincoln. Well, before the evening at the theater.: We don't recommend complaining just for the sake of it (see number 1), but if you have a legitimate comment, it should be shared. Also, don't hesitate to disagree with other comments, even if your opinion is in the minority. If patrons aren't honest about their experiences, restaurants won't know that there is room for improvement. And there always is.
Be Specific. "The food was good" doesn't cut it.: Each dining experience is unique, so if a dining experience moves you in any way, by all means, share the details. Choose the sensory details that impacted your experience the most and describe them in your postings. Other foodies will gobble it up—literally.
Be Concise. 'Nuf said.: What? We thought it was pretty clear the first time.
Be Helpful. Sort of like how the elves and reindeer help Santa.: Will what you have to say improve the restaurant's ability to provide impeccable service and improve the dining experience for others (again, see number 1)? If so... help away.
Show a Little Pride. No Jane or John Does please.: If you are too embarrassed to put your name as the commenter, you probably should re-evaluate your comments (you know the drill... see number 1). If you have sensitive information that you feel needs to be passed along, please use your best judgment and e-mail it to us to avoid public posting. We don't want you to have any post-post regrets.
Don't Name Names. Let's not get too personal here.: We know you want to share your experiences, both good and bad, but this isn't the place to publicly condemn or praise individual people. Feel free to comment on "the service", "the chef", or "the staff", but any positive or negative mention of specific names will be moderated.
