Lisbon Bakery

Yum!!! This is how donuts are supposed to be made! Finally, a bakery that still hand makes donuts in the morning! It really reminds me of being a kid when Robin’s donuts and Tim Horton’s actually baked from scratch in the morning instead of shipping frozen dough and calling that fresh baked! Yes, the décor is from the 70’s but the product is fresh and good! I would not have stopped by in this place except for the glazed doughnuts for $ 0.60 in the front window. Better than any chain doughnut, or grocery store baked donut. Lisbon still uses an old recipe from days gone by. Their Jelly doughnut for $ 0.65 was absolutely delicious! And when I say jelly, I mean lots of Jelly in the doughnut-​like oozing out, too much jelly goodness to hold inside a sugar encrusted yum thing going from my hand to my mouth to my stomach yummy Jelly doughnut. Yes, in I’m my opinion I think it’s better than those little donuts. Mmm… donut!

Honestly, at first glance, a creepy little run-​down place where you have to pull the door open to get in which for some reason seems like the wrong way. There is not a lot going on inside until you look closer at the baked goods behind the glass. Wow! Piles of freshly made cookies and doughnuts, a few cakes and a couple loaves of bread. A pretty small selection for sure but it seems like it’s always just that one little old asian lady there. The cash register doesn’t give reciepts and probably doesn’t actually even work judging by how she opened it.
I have tried the cookies and doughtnuts a few times before, which are very inexpensive (and such a guilty, yummy pleasure) but today I needed a cake!
It was a co-​workers birthday and since I was given a cake last month on my special day, I grabbed one for her on the way to our meeting this afternoon. She is not a chocolate fan so luckily there was other flavors to choose from (but like I said, not a lot).
I bought a white lemon cake with coconut on the outside. It was about 6 inches across and it cost me $ 7.95. That wasn’t the best part. It was soooo absolutely delicious and fresh.
