FIVE new seasonal flavours for spring!

5 May 2023

Put a spring in your step with new seasonal flavours added to the Crosstown line-up.

Our latest doughnut and dough bite flavours, joining the gang just in time for the season of Spring, have been crafted using the finest seasonal ingredients.

Three new doughnut flavours are now available in-store, providing a taste of warmer weather through tropical and fresh flavour pairings, combining our award-winning sourdough with unqiue fillings and toppings.

Doughnuts:

Pineapple & Coconut (ve): Tangy pineapple glaze generously covers our vegan sourdough ring, which is then topped with toasted coconut chips for the perfect tropical-inspired treat.

Mango & Vanilla (ve): Crafted with vegan sourdough, filled with a creamy vanilla custard and coated in a ripe mango glaze, then hand-finished with candied mango pieces.

Coffee & Pecan Caramel: Bursting with a rich and creamy coffee custard, then dipped into a sweet, toasted caramel glaze, topped with a sprinkling of buttery pecan crumble.

Joining the classic Crosstown doughnuts, two fun-sized dough bites have also joined the line-up, the perfect bite-size sweet-treat for those afternoon pick-me-ups.

Dough Bites:

Plum & Cinnamon (ve): A tart plum compote is piped into our sourdough dough, coated in a warming cinnamon glaze, and hand-finished golden vanilla crumble.

Hazelnut Praline & Mandarin Chilli (ve): Our award-winning sourdough filled with an indulgent hazelnut praline custard, dipped in a mandarin and red chilli glaze, topped with a sprinkling of roasted and caramelised hazelnuts for the perfect toasty finish.

Individual doughnut and dough bite flavours are now available in-store across all Crosstown locations, and in a selection of doughnut boxes for same-day and on-demand. Order via the Crosstown app or website for delivery across England, Wales and lowland Scotland.

Doughnuts or Donuts? – The creme de la creme of pastry predicaments. The distinction between ‘Doughnut’ and ‘Donut’ is a matter of elegance and refinement, much like choosing between an aged Bordeaux and a contemporary Napa Valley red. The term ‘Doughnut,’ with its rich and classic spelling, harks back to its 18th-century origins, embodying the traditional art of baking, a sense of sophistication, and a tribute to time-honoured traditions. On the other hand, ‘Donut,’ is its chic and modern counterpart, popularized by the iconic American brand in the 20th century, representing a more casual, contemporary approach to this delectable treat. While both represent the same luxurious indulgence, ‘Doughnut’ carries a slightly more formal and traditional tone, while ‘Donut’ encapsulates a more relaxed, modern, and playful spirit. Whichever spelling you choose, you’re indulging in a timeless confection, a symbol of sweet extravagance.
