Donisima Donuts

Found these guys walking around Western Food Hall.I was worried their donuts were not going to be fresh because they don't even have their own stall. They were more of a small podium with a cart of donuts next to it. Boy was I wrong! My donut tasted incredible. Soft, but also firm and doughy. A good balanced bite. The flavor was not-too-sweet. As an Asian girl, saying something is "not-too-sweet" is the ULTIMATE compliment.This place needs their own brick & mortar because they are very talented.

I tried some donuts from Donisima this morning and had a really good experience. It's a small pop-up located inside a squash court, which was kind of a hilarious contrast (hi, people working out, I'm here for my donuts). The staff at the front desk were very friendly and directed me to the bar to get donuts. The person working the pop-up was clearly very busy, and it did take a minute before she was able to make it out to the stand to get my order (she was having to run into the back to get donuts for folks), but she was very quick once she did. The donuts are expensive ($5 each), but not out of line with other similar spots in DC, and I have to say they're very high quality - probably the best of this style of yeasted donut that I've had in the area. I tried the arequipe (dulce de leche), guava cream cheese, and the seasonal special (pumpkin spice alfajor). The donut itself was soft and perfectly fried, and they were all very generously filled, which I loved. I liked that none of them were too sweet, although I wish the guava flavor had come through more strongly than the cream cheese in that one. I think my favorite was the seasonal option, mainly because the spices in the custard were so lovely and went well with the vanilla icing. There are only 4 flavors of donuts with one rotating seasonal option, and I would definitely come back to try the ones I didn't sample. It's too expensive to be a regular trip, but they're large, generously filled donuts with really unique flavors, and I feel like it's good enough to be worth the cost. I love how creative the fillings are!

*starts to sing* Heaven, donut Heaven!!!!! Just the words which comes to mind after the sweet experience I had earlier today at their location at Western Market. Let's start off by saying that the customer service was actually the reason why I walked over to the cart. The woman behind the counter greeted me from afar and that immediately caused me to think "hmmm I've never seen them before" prompting me to walk over and learn more. After walking over, I engaged in a wonderful conversation about the store location, hours of operation at the market, and was educated on how to pair the donuts with a particular coffee beverage. Excellent and knowledgeable service! Well, I knew that I could only indulge in 1, given that it was my cheat day. Wow! Honey, the Arequipe was DIVINE! The dough was so soft, buttery, and moist *chefs kiss* Topped with cheese crumble and dulce con Leche, the star of this show was the sweet, oozing, caramel center. These flavors combined was everything that I needed to melt away with each bite. I of course, couldn't consume the entire donut and it was large enough to share with someone else. What a beautiful way to enjoy some nice weather than with the perfect sweet treat. I am definitely going to visit them again and from the price list, you can see that it is very cost effective. The size of the donuts are worth the price!!!!!! Sooooo, if you're in the area and need a great place with good customer service and excellent donuts...check them out! Support businesses that leave a good mark in the tummies of their customers.

I love any kind of food hall because I have the chance to try so many different foods. Today on the menu was the Arequipe, a donut topped with cheese. This donut was perfectly sweet without being too overpowering. Now at first I was like "5 dollars for a donut??". But tbh you pay for what you get and what I got was fantastic. Service was good and easy. It was a cart inside a market that has other little restaurants if you want something savory to compliment the sweet.This was a great donut. Filling, sweet and had a great combination of flavors. Im excited to come back to try some of their others!

As the first and only certified, dignified, and sometimes mortified donut sommelier, connoisseur, aficionado I add this one to the list. It is inside of the La Consecha market, which is very cool, in the union market area. I went on a Friday afternoon, and I was intrigued to find that parking on the main street was free while parking on the side streets was not. Parking was relatively easy to find. Donisima is a standalone cart within the market. This means they are being made somewhere else and brought over to the cart. They were on a rack which was not a warming rack so you're not getting warm fresh out of the oven/oil donuts. I first requested a glazed vanilla, but was informed that they were sold out so I chose the chocolate and the coquito. He package them into the box I paid, and as I was walking away, I saw the glazed donut holes. I was surprised that when he told me that the full donut was sold out, but he didn't tell me. They had donut holes as an alternative. So I purchased those as well. The donut holes were about a 3.5 to 4. The glaze had a nice level of sweetness and the donut had a good texture. However, the larger donuts were a unique texture. I don't think that they are yeast or cake donuts. It had more of a bread consistency . I've never experienced a doughnut with that kind of texture before. The flavor of both were good, the Creme was tasty, but the consistency was just throwing off the whole experience. Unfortunately, these will go into the category of they were awful, but I'm not running back to get more.

Inside La Cosecha, a market with Latin American makers, is a small artisanal doughnut stand open every day except Mondays. When I went on a Wednesday afternoon, they were selling four kinds. For just over $4, I ordered the vanilla glazed. With lots of icing, my fingers got sticky, but the doughnut itself was tasty and had good texture.

Such a pleasant and tasty experience at Donisima! Donisima is at a stand in the middle area of La Cosecha. The woman manning the stand was friendly, welcoming, and walked us through all of our options as we were first timers. My sisters and I ordered the Guava and Cheese donut, the caramel/dulce de Leche donut, and the mini vanilla donut bites. These were the freshest and tastiest donuts I've had in a long time. I personally love that they weren't overly sweet. The guava and cheese tasted complex and was delicious and satisfying. Will definitely return to try more.

Checked out Donisima Donuts at their fabulous Yelp event today ... and boy they did not disappoint! The flavors were so fresh and pure without being overwhelmingly strong or sweet. Absolutely adored the Dulce de Leche donut (the cream inside was 10/10), and you can't go wrong with the classic vanilla bean (so light). These Donisima donuts were the perfect density in my opinion ... not as heavy as a cake donut but not as airy as a traditional donut - just perfect. Absolutely recommend for your next week treat in DC :)

Donisima is a little cart in la cosecha! Seems like they make a certain number for the day and then they're out. It's been on my list to check out, and we just happened to be at an event at la cosecha and realized Donisima was there! We got there at 1:30 and sadly the only donut I really wanted from them, wasn't available. Dagger. Ordered the dulce de leche and chocolate lovers donut. Only tried a little of the dulce de leche and it was delicious! Lots of filling on the inside. Everyone who tried the donuts seems to enjoy them! I'll eventually be back for the guava and cheese, because that's what I've been eyeing!!
