Kiss your Overstreet Mall Dunkin’ Donuts goodbye. Hefty, handcrafted local doughnuts have landed in Uptown.
Your Mom’s Donuts, located in Matthews, recently debuted a new doughnut cart at the corner of S. Tryon and and E. MLK Boulevard.
Your Mom has built a cult following since opening in 2013, but a 10-mile drive (down Independence, no less) to the shop is a hike for Uptown residents.
In true Your Mom “all local everything” style, the cart is equipped with a Lenny Boy kombucha tap and Pure Intentions coffee.
The doughnuts themselves are made with locally sourced dairy and eggs and used to be fried in locally sourced lard. They’ve recently switched all frying production to coconut oil. Vegetarians, rejoice.
Doughnuts are $3.50 each, 6 for $15 or 12 for $24.
Flavors rotate regularly and include features like vanilla bean, cinnamon sugar, coconut with chocolate and almonds, sweet potato with vanilla and lemon pistachio honey.
Stop the presses. They also have monster cinnamon rolls.
