Looks Like There’s a New Donut Truck in the Neighborhood

This morning, there was a new donut truck parked on the northwest corner of 51st and Park, Carpe Donut. Their website says they’ve been around since 2007, making donuts from scratch for catered events, local fairs and festivals. Seems respectable enough to me, but do they have what it takes to make it in midtown? The truck’s menu isn’t too extensive; they’ve got apple cider donuts and a few hot beverages. Any early adopters out there? Let us know how the donuts are in the comments!

    I tried the donuts this afternoon. They were okay, but if they’re going to put “Hot Apple Cider Donuts” on the menu, then I’m going to expect the donuts to be hot, or at least warm. These were room temperature at best, and to be honest kind of on the cold side.

    Carpe Donut is from my hometown! I’ve had their doughnuts a couple of times, and they’ve always been delicious. The taste is pleasantly mild & sweet, but if you’re looking for heavy, richer, traditional donuts, you should go somewhere else.

    Is there a good apple cider or cinnamon sugar donut (of the cake variety) to be found in midtown? I would even settle for a decent one…

    I tried them when the truck was in Cobble Hill a couple of weekends ago. The cider donuts and iced coffee were perfectly fine, solid, but nothing inspirational. The donuts were warm when I got them, they’re not going to get any better as they cool off.
