DINING WITH DEANA: NoFoDoCo

January 1: the day for the obligatory gym membership sign-ups and the vow to drop 20 pounds by summer. So, before we commit, we must indulge. After all, that’s the way it goes, right?

The North Fork Doughnut Company, or known to locals as “NoFoDoCo,” must be on your list of places to visit before your day of reset. This isn’t just a donut shop.. this is the donut shop.

NoFoDoCo offers a variety of custom-made donuts that will leave your jaw dropped at its unique and savory flavors and collaborations.

In addition to the “OG’s” – Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry — the shop offers a Cereal Killer donut that is accompanied by Fruity Pebbles Cereal and a Cookies and Cream that is packed on top with crumbled Oreo cookies.

Two of the most popular doughnuts are Caramel Coffee Cake, a glazed donut topped with vanilla icing, crumbled coffee cake and drizzled with caramel syrup; and the Samoa, a doughnut replica of the infamous Girl Scout Cookie, a glazed doughnut, topped with chocolate icing, toasted coconut and drizzled with fudge and caramel.

Of course, you can always go with a “regular” Jelly or Boston Cream if you so choose. But, buyer beware, these are not your average doughnuts. These are hearty and huge – a very generous serving to your yearning sweet tooth.

With locations in Mattituck and now Bay Shore, these irresistible, custom donut shops are a wonderful addition to their towns, neighboring towns, and are worth the drive for a pick-up.

With the holidays just a few days away, custom orders are in full effect!

If you don’t think you’ll have time for baking, or simply don’t want to, making a trip or placing an order with the North Fork Doughnut Company is one thing you’ll be happy you did. You’ll undoubtedly be the talk of the party – in a good way! Holiday donuts are being offered and with the ample size of these delicious donuts, they’ll be plenty to share with your guests.

And remember – you can start your resolution on January 1 with everyone else.

The North Fork Doughnut Company has locations at 5 East Main Street in Bayshore or at 100 Love Lane in Mattituck. All information is available on their website at www.nofodoco.com.
