Rodeo apple crumble & fitch doughnut
Rodeo - or Doughnut Time - have fallen from my good graces lately, as the doughnuts have all ended up just tasting of sugar. Sure they look amazing, but they don't actually taste different from one another. The only exception had been their fruity doughnuts, which to their credit always seemed to be using real … Continue reading Rodeo apple crumble & fitch doughnut
Bakers and Baristas’ lemon and raspberry muffin
Sometimes all I want is coffee and cake. Luckily, I am spoiled for choice in my local area for coffee shops, so there are loads of options for me. I am slowly making my way through them, and I have finally been able to go to Bakers and Baristas. Annoyingly, they didn't have any vegan … Continue reading Bakers and Baristas’ lemon and raspberry muffin

Rodeo carrot cake doughnut
The name may have changed but the products are still the same. I used to be a big fan of Doughnut Time/Rodeo however I have noticed in recent years that their creativity has stalled a little bit. The doughnuts used to be different designs, and different flavours, whereas recently I have noticed that everything now … Continue reading Rodeo carrot cake doughnut

I fully appreciate that Asian cuisine is likely the hardest one to start with, but lofty goals are always encouraged around here! I love Itsu, and … Continue reading Itsu crispy pumpkin fritters
Doughnut Time rebranded to Rodeo Doughnuts
I am likely late to this party (as I am to most parties really) but it seems that Doughnut Time has rebranded to Rodeo Doughnuts. I have tried to figure out when this happened, as when I look online it seems that only the London branches of Doughnut Time have been rebranded to Rodeo. I … Continue reading Doughnut Time rebranded to Rodeo Doughnuts
Griddle Waffles
I am currently on annual leave, which means that any sort of healthy eating goes out the window and I let myself be a bit more free with my food choices. I find with annual leave I am FAR more active, simply because I will spend every day out and about exploring new places or … Continue reading Griddle Waffles

Ben & Jerry’s Bohemian Raspberry
This was a flavour released back in 2007, however as 2025 marks the 50th Anniversary of the rock band Queen, it has been released. It was released to coincide with Veganuary, however it is not a Veganuary exclusive. Which is great news for me because I have only just managed to find a tub of … Continue reading Ben & Jerry’s Bohemian Raspberry
