Terrible service, filthy venue, amazing doughnuts. Sometimes, service can be so bad, it can be entertaining. It seems staff here are only trained to about 80% capacity. You could order the same thing three times on three separate occasions, but get an entirely different order each time. Order an affogato? Be asked by your server how to make one. Yes, feel free to embellish on how much icecream should be used. Order a doughtnut sundae thingy? Well does it come in a cone? Should the cone be inserted into the hole of the doughtnut? But then, how do you put icecream on it? Or should it go in it? For ages it seemed they never had any chocolate sauce. This is where you can take further liberties with substitutions. Replace chocolate sauce for more icecream! Maybe a waffle bowl too? But let’s cut the staff some slack – their shifts are probably long and their brains are probably fried and glazed. Plus they have to deal with people like us. It’s just as well this venue on Port Road has a viewing area where you can see your doughnuts being made. Marvel at process engineering while the most simple of orders take forever to process! Admire globalised interior decorating flecked with sugar and coffee stains. Yes, bring your sense of humour and give yourself about 15 minutes to get your order processed. Even if you are the only person in the line.
