Bread Ahead has a wide variety of donut flavors, but overall the reviews are average. The blackcurrant cheesecake filling is not very impressive, while the sea salt caramel flavor is smoother. The cinnamon roll is more popular than the donuts.
📍Location: London, England
I tried the popular Bread Ahead doughnuts 🍩 that are trending on IG. They claim to be a refreshing choice in the London doughnut scene, and they are quite rare in that they are not overly sweet, which my colleagues highly praised as delicious.
But…
I personally didn't really like them 😂
I’ve never been particularly fond of doughnuts coated with granulated sugar. However, since everyone said they were delicious, I decided to give them a try.
I chose the blackcurrant cheesecake flavor 🍰, and the filling had a slightly firmer cream texture. It indeed wasn't overly sweet but was also not particularly tasty and lacks any memorable quality. I wouldn’t recommend it ❌.
My colleague bought the sea salt caramel flavor 🧂, and after trying a bite, I found the filling to be much smoother with more layered flavors, so it was significantly better than mine.
However, if I were to recommend must-try spots in London, this doesn't seem that impressive 😓. Looking at how much my colleague enjoyed theirs, I truly wondered if we were eating the same thing 😂.
Online recommendations for the best flavors are: original vanilla, sea salt caramel, and pistachio. If you want to try, I suggest starting with these three flavors, as the experience might be different.
I also ordered a cinnamon roll, which was much better 😋. Reheating it at home made it doubly delicious.
In summary, overall, I still think it’s just average. I would only consider it when there’s nothing else to eat, so I’m reluctantly giving it a 2.5⭐️.
