The Dishes
Daym sampled four distinct donuts from Brooklyn Baking Company: a glazed donut, a plain sugar donut, a plain jelly donut, and a powdered jelly donut. The glazed donut features a sweet glaze coating that gives the donut a sparkling appearance. The interior is remarkably moist with an almost imperceptible hint of cream blended into the dough, creating an exceptionally soft, fluffy, and cake-like texture. The plain sugar donut offers a crystallized sweet sensation that melts in the mouth, described as light and airy. The plain jelly donut is filled with what tastes like raspberry or mixed fruit preserves that taste freshly made, maintaining its vibrant flavor even after sitting for 24 hours. The powdered jelly donut presents the same fruit preserve filling but topped with powdered sugar, delivering a more balanced sweetness compared to the glazed or sugar-coated versions.
The Experience
The review took place at Daym's home in Connecticut on a Monday, which happened to be Brooklyn Baking Company's closed day. Daym deliberately ordered the donuts the day before to test whether they would maintain their quality after 24 hours rather than reviewing them fresh out of the oven. He mentions having a second box at an open house event, showing the donuts' availability and quality across different occasions. The tasting experience was casual and relaxed, conducted on his back deck while landscaping work was happening nearby.
Value and Pricing
Specific pricing information was not mentioned in the video, but the emphasis on the donuts' exceptional quality and longevity suggests strong value for money.
Notable Moments
Oh, you know the problem? Not only do you have that sweet glaze all over the doughnut, not only does that doughnut spark after dark and is it still fresh 24 hours later? Yes. But something goes on with their dough. It's not dry on the inside. It's actually a moist bite.
Brooklyn Bacon could be in any given state and I promise y'all right now it'd be the main doughnut spot that you'd go to no matter which state it's in.
I really don't think anybody right now in the doughnut game is seeing Brooklyn Baking Company. I don't think so.
If loving Brooklyn bacon is wrong, I don't want to be right.
The Verdict
Daym gives Brooklyn Baking Company an exceptional rating, comparing them favorably to Neil's Donuts, another highly regarded Connecticut donut shop. He even suggests that Brooklyn Baking Company rivals or surpasses other famous donut shops like Ry's Donuts in California. The donuts maintain their softness, moisture, and freshness even 24 hours after purchase, which is remarkable. Daym recommends the shop to anyone in Connecticut and suggests that Brooklyn Baking Company would be a top destination in any state. This restaurant is best for anyone seeking premium donuts with exceptional texture, freshness, and flavor, whether enjoyed immediately or the next day.
