These were very flaky and crispy. When I got home to cut them in half, you could hear the crunch while the knife dug into the multiple layers which had a lot of air in between. I tried the plain one and the chocolate. The plain, which was not too plain since it had a custard filling, was very light. The chocolate also had the custard. It's just a matter of preference on which flavor you like. I would have liked them both to have less custard. They also had the blueberry which I did not try. These do not come close to the ones I had yesterday from Capicola's. Like I said, those had a greasy aftertaste and looked like a flat tire compared to Frances Donuts.
If you have to try them, it is worth the drive on a Saturday morning. You can preorder them so they will be ready when you get there. They have parking in the lot or on the street. They are located at 404 E. 2nds St. in Los Angeles (Little Tokyo).
While you are there, go cross the street to the Japanese Village Plaza and visit Café Dulce and get your bacon hole donuts (the best ever) and some spirulina rolls. These things you can freeze so you can have them for breakfast. I usually wrap them individually in wax paper then put them in a freezer Ziploc to freeze.
Don't forget to have some coffee as they really have the best darn coffee in Little Tokyo!
This is how you hit 2 birds with one stone...these birds..... I don't mind at all.
