Melissa here. When you suggest places to eat, I listen.
- So when my 3-year-old woke up at 5:30am yesterday — 90 minutes earlier than usual — I decided to take him on an early-morning Valentine's Day date for doughnuts (his favorite food lately).
- We hit up a reader recommendation, Half and Half Doughnut Co. in Capitol Hill.
Zoom in: The shop on Pike Street offers a range of deep-fried options, including creatively frosted takes on old-fashioned doughnuts.
- We tried a pair of raised ring doughnuts, which, despite being huge and heavily frosted, didn't overwhelm me with sweetness.
- Pranav, the reader who recommended this place, likes their small doughnut options, the mini bimbas, because "you get to try a lot of flavors while only clogging your arteries partially."
Pro tip: If you don't feel like a doughnut, they have savory breakfast sandwiches and biscuits, too.
The verdict: A fine place to carb up in the morning. We'll be trying more of your suggestions soon!
Details: 516 E. Pike St.
