Item Description
Known for its apizza, New Haven pulled off a bit of a surprise with Orangeside on Temple, Tony Poleshek's "home of the square donut."
Apparently having relocated just prior to my visit and recommended to me by my server at Modern Apizza the beauty of Orangside for me was the simplicity of it - a small menu, five types of donut, and a 'locals only' sort of vibe where everyone in the dwindling lunch crowd seemed to know everyone - and the fact that hot donuts were on their way out from the kitchen only minutes before I arrived did not hurt one bit.
Featuring both yeasted raised options and toothsome, dense cake donuts with ample toppings it would be hard to decide which version was 'better,' as both were virtually oil-less, but if I were forced to select two my predilection towards cake donuts would lead me to the turtle, a veritable "Snickers" donut and the almond-buttercrunch with caramel drizzle, both featuring light saltiness to balance the sweet and better than any donut I've tasted in New York or Boston, making it a 'destination' spot from either, especially if you're already in town for some pizza.
