It was mid afternoon and I knew the trays were only going to be half full ('cuz I'm a tray half full kind of person). No bother, I'd take that last dozen of whatever they had left, over the first dozen anyone else in Cleveland was serving up.
The main difference between Jack Frost and the others is that most, if not all, of their doughnuts have cream filling on top. I'm not going to say that it's organic this, finest ingredients that, or in a round about way healthy for you - they're not. The frosting seems to be the same stereotypical frosting you can find at most doughnut shops, only it's on every single one. It's seems like such a simple difference that would be much a deal - but it is.
Maybe it's because it's in an odd angled building. Maybe it's because it's old school. Or maybe it's because it's just a throwback to my childhood. Whatever it is, I just love Jack Frost.

It's funny how this place has strong memories for many. Jack Frost is very close to where my grandparents used to live in Old Brooklyn. I have many memories as a young child heading up there to get a dozen donuts on our way to see them. And they are still as tasty as they were then.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm.... I can just smell the sugar looking at the pics!
ReplyDeleteAlicia,
ReplyDeleteThere was actually a guy that used to work for Jack Frost that opened a place in Broadview Hts making the same donuts. It was kind of crummy location and they ended up closing, though. It funny how childhood food memories stick with so many people. I've had the same conversations with people about Antonio's.
Sarah,
Have you had these things? Look out - they're deadly.
