The Doughnut Stand

I had the Pb&J last weekend, changed my life. By the way did you know they are now at the Historic Farmers’ Market too?

I should start this off by saying that the stand is only opened on Saturdays now (8 – 1), also they took away the dozen & half dozen packages. They’re just sold individually now.
I bought about $ 30 worth of doughnuts, haha — tried almost everything they had:
— Sugar
— Cinnamon sugar
— Pink icing & sprinkles
— Honey curler
— Chocolate glazed
— Boston Cream
— Maple Bacon
— etc.
All the doughnuts are absolutely delicious — and as someone already mentioned, you don’t have that greasy doughnut taste in your mouth after you finish eating one. I chatted with one of the employees for a bit and he was super super nice, talked about some of their recent ups and downs — really cool and down to earth guy.
While I think the doughnuts are incredibly tasty, I’m really hoping they can do something to reduce their costs and the price of their doughnuts. I just really hope they reduce their prices. :(

The Alderney Farmer’s Market is my favourite Saturday morning place to be. And a Port City Coffee with a Maple Bacon Doughnut from the Doughnut Stand is my favourite way to start a Saturday morning at the Market.
I get a vague sense they do have other doughnuts but I am instantly and always drawn the Maple Bacon. I mean a yeasty doughnut doused in sweet, sticky maple glaze to which crispy, salty nuggets of bacon adhere, I ask you, what else could you ever want?
I may try some other flavours but my heart will always belong to the Maple Bacon.

I’m loving Halifax’s eat local renaissance! A host of talented locals are putting forth so many delicious eats. My new favorite weekend activity is a visit to the Alderney Landing Farmer’s Market for a sampling of fresh baked goods and treats.
New this year to the Farmer’s Market is The Doughnut Stand. Serving up a wide variety of classic and new fusion style doughnuts, The Doughnut Stand offers a delicious, fresh, and local alternative to big chain factory baked goods. They have all the classics from Boston crème, raspberry filled, apple fritter, lemon curd, and maple bacon. The Doughnut Stand also brings an exciting and changing selection of new fusion style doughnuts. So far I’ve seen Crème egg and mini egg doughnuts for Easter, peanut butter Captain Crunch, carrot cake doughnut, Jalapeño bacon cheddar, and chocolate cherry fritter. You won’t find that extreme variety and experimentation anywhere else! Fluffy, light, airly, fresh, and full of flavour I love their doughnuts.
To help beat the heat of summer The Doughnut Stand also just released a menu of homemade frozen treats. Popsicles, chocolate dipped bars, and even doughnut ice cream sandwiches filled with Dee Dee’s own ice creams. Yes! You heard right, doughnut ice cream sandwiches!
The Doughnut Stand is open on Saturdays for the market and other select dates they post on their Facebook pages. They’re often at local events nearby or other venues spreading that doughnut-​y goodness.
