This month ' s fave rave : The General Store

I love that Instagram is used to directly interact with their customers which is also how fellow doughnut lovers keep track of the �avors of the day . You need to get on over to the General Store quickly though , as their doughnuts sell out quicker than you can hit the " follow " button . love food , more speci�cally

Ianything laden with sugar . So s e a r c h i n g f o r t h e b e s t doughnuts in the country is sheer heaven to me .

I will be covering the 3 major cities in the months / issues to f o l l o w i e . C a p e T o w n , Johannesburg and Durban .
I began my search in the Mother City , of course . It is the food mecca of our country after all . So off I went to just about every bakery , coffee shop etc that I could �nd and tucked into some of the most innovative , delicious doughnuts I have ever had .
One , however , did stand out , for me , by a mile . The General Store can be found in the City Bowl , Cape Town and while their offerings include everything from breakfast , lunch , cakes as well as catering services , my mission was solely on their doughnuts . I had come across their doughnuts on Instagram and people raving about them and I must say , after trying them , I can see why .
These stuffed sweets are sinfully decadent and delicious and I very rarely utter these words but they are worth every calorie !
There you have it , my �rst fave rave and my winner for the best doughnuts in all of Cape Town goes to the incomparable General Store .
