Donats in Buenos Aires

[Tomokoar]

Hello, how are you in this new year? I’m going to https://www.instagram.com/candymoon.arg/ to have some donats tomorrow in the afternoon with my daughter. Has anyone been there before? Some recomendation?

Went there once. Late in the day, so the donuts were a bit stale, but otherwise pretty good. Only a handful of types to choose from.

Thank you ! We will enjoy !

You need Cambodians if you want good donuts. No Cambodians in BA, so I steer clear of the donuts.

Cambodian refugee Ted Ngoy made a fortune in doughnuts then lost it all to gambling.

Bob's Donuts, San Francisco and Marin - definitely an exception to that rule. And that is a great documentary!

Candy Moon in BA - I've never seen a plain glazed donut so difficult to tear in half (Insta video). Maybe it's 2-3 days old, maybe just a bad donut.

What’s a donat? Is that North American slang for a donation?
I’ve enough trouble keeping my own show on the road these days without making “donats” to indeterminate others.

In case you're serious: donat = misspelling of donut

In 2022 or so there was a brief donut moment here, with Rock n Donuts and another brand for which I forget the name right now. Seems they're mostly gone now. Wish they'd come back.

A donat may be related to a donair, which is the Halifax Canada version of a turkish doner, which in Argentina is called a shwarma.

Yes it was a genuine enquiry.
That said I’m not sure I’m any the wiser. I eat donuts. Well, actually I don’t. But to me they’re a food item. So it still seems to be a North American colloquialism or some such.

Commonly spelt as donas here.
