(dundeesseaside.com/donuts/bakery.html) – Seaside, Oregon
How I heard of this place: For our anniversary, my husband surprised me with a trip to Seaside, Oregon. Having hit more traffic than we had anticipated on our way down, our stomach’s were going concave as we pulled into town. The restaurant we thought about trying didn’t open for another hour, so we walked through town, and stumbled upon Dundee’s Donuts. Now, who can turn down a donut?
Type of cuisine: Donuts. Other bakery items include cookies, muffins and croissants (savory ones, too!).
Ambiance: Dark and a bit dreary, we entered the establishment only to be semi-blinded by the fluorescence of the donut case. A casual shop with less reason to stop and sit and more reason to grab and go, the two, young employees continued their conversation as we perused our sweet options.
A wrap-around counter for the register and more pastries along the side, seating at pallet-like benches and hefty wooden tables are available, though seem to be seldom utilized. Tastefully placed artwork on the walls, and simple decor keep attentions focused on the glowing donuts in the case.
What I ordered: My husband and I, saving our appetites for lunch, shared the Oreo Bar ($2.50), fluffy dough perfectly fried and topped with cream and crushed Oreo cookies.
What I loved: The abundance of Oreos, the creaminess of the topping and the indulgent, sweet dough made this the perfect pre-lunch appetizer.
Why I loved it: Simple, unpretentious, tasty.
Cost: Low to average ($2-$4 per donut)
