and joining me now is steve client owner of donuts
and look at this display on the table. I
am just in heaven right now because you have so
many beautiful donuts, they're not just everyday donuts,
tell us what makes sure it's so unique. Well
, our formula is a brioche yeast based doughnut which
is totally different than most donuts made in America.
It's well handmade. We only use our own products
and their artisanal in nature. And our flavors are
very unique. Probably the only flavors that anybody makes
in the country. And so real quick, what
are some of the flavors we're seeing right here on
the table. One of our most famous is the
hibiscus. Our chocolate is Belgian chocolate. I'll trade
Alexa with almonds, nutella. Uh one of our
interesting new flavors is Ub Ub UB on there,
look at that, It's Ub cheesecake which is asian
, american heritage month Cafe L A, strawberry shortcake
, mocha, almond crunch, blueberry lemon. What
would you say is your most popular donut right there
? Plain glaze. But no, all of these
amazing flavors. Number one has always been plain glaze
. Okay, well I don't want plain glaze today
with all of this. What is your most popular
of these? Well, nutella is very popular.
The UBI has become very popular. The strawberry shortcake
don't go with this purple surprise because my kids would
love this because it has all this juicy goodness inside
. But I'm gonna cut it because it's so big
. So I don't have to eat that while I'm
doing that. Tell us what people can expect from
national donut day. Well, it's a fun fest
that people love donuts and it's a way of celebrating
donuts that people just want to try and they want
to try with their friends, their offices, their
parties, their groups. And so we get inundated
in all our stores with lines of people coming to
buy multiple donuts to celebrate the day. And donuts
what we've learned over the years make people happy And
they make people smile. I'm smiling right now and
I'm very happy because this is that you're all over
the city. Talk to us about our main location
is flat iron in Brooklyn were in Rockefeller Center on
48th Street. We're in urban space market on 45th
Street and Vanderbilt. We've been in Times Square on
8th Avenue waiting to reopen. We're in prospect heights
on 646 Vanderbilt Ave And we're also in Astoria on
31st Street in Denmark and you're nationally recognized for all
your uniqueness and all these amazing flavors. Right,
correct. And the food network and the food network
, We do the new york city wine and food
festivals. We give back in multiple, you know
, charities, uh, were very big in the
community. Um, we don't, at the end
of the day, we donate our donors to police
the fire department and homeless every day. That's awesome
. And during the pandemic, we donated 15,000 free
donuts to all the hospitals in New York and we
were on national television about that. So we try
and give back a lot. I love the fact
that you give back and I love that you're going
to be giving to those healthier people that say,
I can't eat all of this sugar. Talk to
us about your exclusive right now, you're learning about
this first here on cheddar news. Talk to us
about the new donut. So we're going to be
releasing sometime this month on new protein donut, which
is approximately 16 g of protein. And if I
didn't tell you it was a protein donut, it
tastes like a doughnut. Oh, and you have
several different flavors. We have several, several different
flavors. Y'all just tilted like that. Okay.
And right now we have chocolate, vanilla and blueberry
and we've also done cinnamon sugar and peanut butter with
chocolate. Oh, stop it. Now, you
got me, I'm gonna try this blueberry. I
love that. The blueberry is actually pink and a
lot of times you taste protein donuts and they're dry
or they have tons of sugar in them that they're
replacing. So what makes yours different? We have
no substitute sugar. We have very low sugar and
our donuts or a protein donut is so moist that
for sure it's going to be the best protein donut
in the country. It is very moist. It's
almost like a cake pop. If you're familiar with
cake pops, that's what it tastes like. Okay
, we're going to cake pop. I'm sorry.
You know, those are delicious like this. These
donuts are moist and they have a shelf life if
we're assuming at this point about a week And then
of course you can, you know, refrigerate or
freeze it. But these donuts are exceptional because they're
easy to eat. And as I said, there
is no sugar substitute and the moistness in these doughnuts
. Uh just out of this world, you're just
gonna love eating our protein donuts and there's 16 g
of protein, which is higher than a lot of
other ones, correct? Alright, you have a
new fan favorite here. Thank you, steve Klein
, owner of doughnuts. And they are delicious and
happy National donate day to you as well. I
can't talk because these are so good.
