Donut Fresh Express

Ok, so i'm trying to get the taste out of my mouth from lunch at Yen Yen and i'm waiting around before a story I had to write that night for the Telegraph in Mont Vernon, so I figured "why not get some donuts"?

After all, haven't we all thought that at some time?

So, what town's in between Peterborough and Mont Vernon and has a good variety of donut shops? The answer here is Milford.

I initially stopped at the place that moved into where Santos Dumont once was, but they were closed, so instead I went to Donut Fresh Express, located on 101A heading towards the Oval past Granitetown Plaza.

Places like Donut Fresh Express are why I am glad that I am not a professional food reviewer. If an editor asked me for a thousand words on the food at Donut Fresh Express, I would probably just write "average" a thousand times.

In the end, just like Santos Dumont II (or whatever it's called), there is very little to differentiate Donut Fresh Express from the Dunkin Donuts that is literally within a minute's driving distance (within a minute's walking distance in the case of Santos Dumont, but that's another story)

In the end, i'm not sure what would bring someone to Donut Fresh Express instead of Dunkin Donuts when it comes to the taste or price of its food. One could make a case for the decor (formerly a Taco Bell, same paint scheme on the inside still but no tacos), or the employees (constantly yelling things in Chinese), or the customers (they all seemed like regulars, which says something) or even the neighbors (my friend operates a Yoga studio out of his house next door).

I'm not saying this place is bad, i'm not saying it's good either. I'm just saying it's there and they sell donuts.

Meal: Cup of Coffee, Glazed Donut and Crueller

Price: $3.61

Time: 4:30 PM

Time in and out the door: N/A, I hung around afterwards. The food was ready in less than a minute though.
