Dough Bros Taunton review, Taunton's very own doughnut brand

But have you ever tried Taunton’s very own Dough Bros? We have. And here’s what we thought.

I got together a team of County Gazette staff to each try one of Dough Bros signature doughnuts flavours. 

Original Glazed - Lewis Wiseman

First cab on the rank was the ‘Original Glazed’. I am quite boring with food, so I went for it.

It was big. That was my first thought on the product. Bigger than its rivals in the glazed doughnuts industry.

I enjoyed it, it was airy and fluffy, as a doughnuts should be.

The glaze was what made it though. It melted in my mouth as I chomped down on it. I’d recommend it.

Cinnabon – Tom Leaman

As a long-time cinnamon bun enthusiast, I looked forward to trying the new Cinna-Bomb offering after its release at the start of the month.

The Cinna-Bomb is advertised as a glazed doughnut filled with cinnamon cream cheese frosting and topped with vanilla icing and a mini cinnamon roll.

The entire thing is then dusted with powdered cinnamon, completing the ‘bomb’.

Overall, the Cinna-Bomb was a fun take on two popular products, creating an impressive-looking and tasty snack or dessert.

Jammy Dodger – Phil Hill

Sorry, but to plagiarise Homer Simpson, it’s a do’h from me.

I like Jammie Dodgers and I like jam doughnuts. But I didn’t get on with the two of them together.

The tiny Jammie Dodger biscuits were soggy, plonked on top of some pink gunge on the peak of a whopping big doughnut.

Outright fail for the dodgers and gunge, and the doughnut was just too big. Doughnuts are tricky to scoff at the best of time, but when they’re that big it’s a bit of a problem.

I would stress it’s a personal opinion and I can see it would appeal to lots of people’s palates, just not mine.

Biscoff – Lisette Miller

The Biscoff doughnut was nice for a few bites however it began to get very dry the more you ate.

This isn’t something you particularly want in a doughnut but I suppose if Biscoff is your thing then you will enjoy this one. For me, it wasn’t the best and perhaps Biscoff is better suited being dipped in a coffee or tea.

Caramilk – Debbie Sully

I really enjoyed the Caramilk doughnut. At first glance I dismissed it as it didn’t have the most appealing looks however looks can be deceiving. Never judge a book by its cover.

The doughnut was oozing with sticky caramel filling and had icing and caramel on the top, it ticked all the boxes for me. I’d recommend it.

Cookies & Cream – Adam Stewart

The Cookies & Cream doughnut was tasty yes, but far too sweet in my opinion. Because it is so big it got quite sickly.

I suppose if you have a sweet tooth and are a big fan of cookies and cream flavour than it is perfect but for me it was a little too much.

Salted Caramel – John Cumptson

First off, I should say, the Salted Caramel doughnut looked outstanding. The presentation was impressive and drew me in.

However sometimes looks can be deceiving as it wasn’t packed with flavour. The mixture of the soft doughnut and the crunchy honeycomb was an odd combination for me. I will add that if you are in to your caramel then great choice, however for me not my favourite.

Prices

The doughnuts can be bought individually or in groups. The price of a plain glazed doughnut is £2, then all the doughnuts with toppings are £3.

In boxes of 4 it costs £11, box of 6 is £15 and a box of 9 is £20.
