UYE – CroNUTS! at Uptown Market! 2/9/14 930am

Event was awesome, it is always wonderful to see your smiling faces and to feel welcomed into your group :) The cronuts were magically delicious, I’m just dissappointed that they were not piping hot… or at least warm… ;) Breakfast club meetups shoud be a regular event, it’s my favorite meal of the day but I won’t motivate myself unless I have a good reason… so give me one!

First and foremost, big thanks to Nate for inviting me to this meet up! I haven’t been to a Unilocal event for months and months now! Another thanks goes out to Cowboy for giving us details and telling us more about the Uptown!
On to the actual Cronut. There is so much hype that goes around this wonderful creation. I had super high expectations. I know certain amount are made for the day and once the restaurant is sold out, that’s it! Having said, the Cronut was beautiful! It was crunchy, flaky, and perfectly sweet. The vanilla custard was just the right amount. I literally ate my Cronut in layers. They reminded me of the Pillsbury grandma biscuits, but on steroids. The taste was almost like a funnel cake, but again, not overwhelmingly sweet. I do wish we came earlier so they would have been fresh out of the fryer! I’m sure we’ll be back. The waitress was super sweet, and I know we were a handful! My only stickler was the price.
Being a young college student, $ 5 was a little too steep for me. The Cronut is definitely something I would not get all the time or go out of my way to get, but! I will say I am down to keep trying different flavors and to treat myself every once in a while!
It was super nice meeting everyone! Hope to tag along on another food adventure!

First of all… a big thanks to Nate for setting this up and a big thanks to Cowboy for making the Cronuts happen for us! **Applause**
I have been wanting to try these infamous Cronuts for quite some time now… and it finally happened! Wow! Just Wow! They look like donuts, but they sure don’t taste like them. These are such light, airy, and flaky little treats. I thought it was pretty cool we could peel them apart like Grands biscuits. The Cronut definitely lived up to my expectations and then some!
This UYE was definitely worth getting up early on a Sunday morning. Had such a great time with all my fellow Yeeps! Also, getting my last badge, The Breakfast Club, was another added bonus!
If you haven’t had an opportunity to try a Cronut yet, I highly suggest you get yourself to Uptown Market early one Sunday morning! Nom Nom Nom!

Sunday morning to discover this new creation they call a Cronut, which is pretty much a croissant-​doughnut. Which I’ve to believe has started a mass hysteria in NY. It was a bit early but worth getting. They have a lot of omelets to choose from which a few people I see order to breakfast sandwiches. Some of the omelets to what I can explain, included smoked salmon & cornbeef hash. I didn’t see anything on the breakfast menu that was over $ 10 and cronuts will run $ 5 ea. the cronut came with frosting cream on top and it was an unique taste that will confuse your taste buds and go for another bite. If your in the Jacksonville. This is a spot to try some Cronuts cause I do not know where else you could get them unless your in NY, your just lucky.

The Cronut took the foodie world by storm. It has been in jax for awhile now. Uptown Market started making something like the cronut for some time now. Today we met today to enjoy theses little morsels and that we did. There were plenty to goo around thanks to the hook up from Cowboy. Then Nate set everything to the Unilocal standards. The Unilocal elite mostly came out. It doesn’t take much to get us out. You mention anything about good food and we are all over it. The cronut is a crescent dough rolled out in layers and rolled out some more. Then flash fried and topped with a creamy vanilla custard. They were yummy but some what tuff. The place is nice and we have eaten our Sunday brunch here many times. So we know the uptown market.

Cronuts do I really need to say anything else ??? Delicious doughy goodness sent down from the heavens topped with yummy clouds of custard yep that pretty much describes these sweet treat ! I was so excited to find out that there was a place in Jacksonville that are making the cronuts, I’ve been dying to try them. Thanks to all my fellow Unilocalers for putting on this event and tipping me off about this little secret, seriously I’d be lost wondering around J-​ville eating mediocre food with out you all and your great tips and reviews.

Thanks to Cowboy for the inside scoop and Nate for setting this up!
After hearing about such a coveted item we knew we had to figure out a way to make sure we got them all to ourselves. We are talking about the elusive CRONUT.
They were flaky and crunchy with just the right amount of sweetness with yummy custard on top. Delicious.
Our server was wonderful and quick to be attentive and helpful. And of course being with all our awesome Unilocalies we had a lot of laughs and smiles going on.
I will be back to tryout their breakfast menu because I love breakfast and after seeing their breakfast sandwich and their corned beef hash I am excited to get a taste of that!

So this morning Amy decided to drag me out of bed in order to try the famous Cronut, which everyone has been talking about. Well, as I am not much into sweets I didn’t try one, but the trip out this morning was worth it as, we got to see some other great people! From the time we arrived the entire table of Unilocalers was abuzz with excitement, as they couldn’t wait to try a Cronut and it became pretty obvious once the server brought them to the table that everyone enjoyed it (Everyone who got one devoured it within seconds)!
As always it was great to see my fellow Unilocalers and it sure was a blast! I can’t wait to see everyone again soon!
