![]() The bottom half of the box was even better, featuring a Raspberry Filled Heart ($1.25), an A-Town Mocha ($1.75) with a coffee cream core and the frosted Chocolate Banana Fritter ($1.75), which you can also order “Elvis Style,” which I’m guessing means loaded with bacon. We ordered a half-dozen, including an airy doughnut with Dulce de Leche ($1.25) frosting a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup ($1.75) with peanut butter center and crumbled Reese’s studding the chocolate frosting and a Fresh Strawberry N Cream ($2) sandwich dusted with powdered sugar. Grant makes 27 different delights per day, with a reasonable price ceiling of $2. The space already housed a donut shop, but Grant took it to another level with his inventive new recipes.īy the time we reached Sublime, Kamal Grant and his human doughnut assistant were running low on fried pastries, but we still had plenty of options. ![]() He was a cook in the Navy and attended Culinary Institute of America before he started producing “electric chair” doughnuts in a strip mall near Georgia Tech. Grant is a quote machine who has the background to back up his talk. As Sublime brags on its website, “doughnuts are the street thug of the pastry world,” and these doughnuts will certainly kidnap your taste buds and put you in a sugar coma.Artisan doughnuts are sweeping the nation, and while places like Doughnut Plant in Manhattan and Dynamo Donuts in San Francisco may be at the pinnacle of the movement, with impeccable ingredients and near faultless results, neither shop is as fun as Sublime Doughnuts in Atlanta, and it’s due to owner Kamal Grant. ![]() Whether it’s just for a nice breakfast or a gift for a special occasion, a Sublime doughnut will definitely fit the bill. So while the trip to Sublime may take you a little bit farther down 10th Street than you are used to, it is unquestionably worth the drive. The dough was so light and the ingredients were so fresh that we weren’t overcome by a heavy, gross feeling (even though we had just eaten a dozen doughnuts by ourselves). In fact, my friends and I felt we could go another round (and we almost did). The $17 price for a dozen of these tasty doughnuts felt like a steal.Īfter consuming that many doughnuts, I realized another fabulous aspect of Sublime-eating multiple doughnuts did not make me feel terrible or twist my stomach into debilitating knots, like eating at so many other doughnut establishments might. Each one has a quirky name or flavor, and the prices range from $1 to $2 per doughnut. On its website, Sublime boasts 26 doughnut flavors at any given time but sometimes adds specialty doughnuts for holidays or other occasions. I simply couldn’t get enough until the box was totally empty. I grabbed like a madman at the doughnuts and had to restrain myself in fear of a serious stomach ache. I almost didn’t come up for air after diving into my dozen because I never wanted to stop filling my face with these delectable treats. From the Fresh Strawberry N Creme to the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup doughnut, each flavor was absolutely fabulous. So for about an hour, two friends and I sat and tasted (demolished) a dozen of the most prominent of Sublime’s recipes. ![]() ![]() I, being an excellent reporter, made it my goal to sample almost every one of Sublime’s sublime flavors. Nothing in the store is really that fancy, except for the long list of gourmet doughnuts that sits on the counter. Eclectic artwork lines the walls and a prominent graffiti reading “Sublime” greets each customer as they enter the shop. Sublime Doughnuts sits tucked in a small shopping center near Georgia Tech in a one-room shop, with a couple of nicely arranged couches and tables. But after tasting many of the mouth-watering doughnuts offered at Sublime Doughnuts, I knew it had been totally worth it. As I watched the dozen doughnuts dwindle away and powdered sugar pile up in front of me, I wondered if eating four large doughnuts in one sitting had been a mistake. ![]()
