Scrap that. Have two.
Most cronuts I've ever tasted have been an over-hyped cross-breed; an unnecessary deviation from both the croissant and doughnut. Because of this, I was sceptical about Brewtown Newtown's version, nevermind the widespread reviews which raved about it. After all, how good could it be? Not that it mattered anyway. I would be visiting for the relaxed ambience and superb coffee; not for the cronut. Or so I told myself.
However, when the doughnut with an identity crisis arrived on the table, I couldn't help but take a bite. My husband's cinammon encrusted lips had already extended into a huge grin, beaming with satisfaction. I won't bore you with the details of my conversion, but, I liked the cronut. A lot.
Despite all my prior reservations, I would most definitely go back for this one. Partnered with their wonderfully smooth coffee, Brewtown provides much more than a dessert and caffeine "fix"... I haven't been this content with both the dessert and coffee in a while; and that's saying a lot. I have a feeling I'll be around this joint with increasing regularity. If you ever end up going, call me maybe?
