Breakfast To Go, Then Leave…

So while cleaning up the store the other day I found treasures! Well, It wasn’t the other day. This post should have been up back in October…but anyways. While going through the messy aisle  I found a 3/4 eatin donut. Now this wasn’t a cheap donut like the ones in the box. This was one from the bakery that’s right next door to me. So it was a quality donut. One that should be enjoyed and not left behind.

You may be thinking that it was most likely a child who left this delicious treat behind. Unless the child was well over 5 feet tall, I doubt it. Besides a child knows the value of a donut. The kicker was that the donut was still warm.  After I picked it up and mumbled down the aisle something else caught my eye, A warm coffee. It would appear that it was a lady that was leaving breakfast trails around the seasonal aisle.

Late Night Donuts

12am

It’s 12am and for some reason you’re in Ipswich Massachusetts and you have  an itch for a snack. Well you are in luck my friend. Head over to 8 central(map link) street in downtown Ipswich. When you pull up the place will be dark and most likely vacant. My friend took me here late one night, we worked until 12 am and were feeling a little hungry. We had to knock on the door for about a minute or so, it felt longer due to the cold winter breeze on a late december night. As I look into the dark donut shop I could see the cook in the back look up. He walked to the door, unlocked it and let us in.

Sweet now we are in, so now what? Well all those bagels, donuts and muffins that we left over from the previous work day were all together on a rack in the kitchen. Free? well kinda. There’s a wooden bowl on the counter as walk into the kitchen for tips. We each through in a couple bucks. He told us to help ourselves to some baked goods. There is not coffee late at night here but the hot chocolate and chai machine is on.

We sat at the counter in the dark ate our snacks and watched the donut man make the donuts and drank our hot chocolate mixed with chai. When we left we told the guy so he could lock the door behind us. Everyone wins here, we get food the baker gets a couple bucks and his trash in now a little lighter.
