Street Donuts: A new pop-up on 3rd and Pike! All photos by: Amie Simon

There’s a new pop-up in Seattle, and it’s serving up tiny bites of delicious fried dough with some unusual flavors. Street Donuts has stationed its sleek black trailer at 2^nd and Pike for the past 5 weeks, and it’s earning rave reviews from people who stop to try a bite.

A frying machine right in the trailer delivers piping-hot mini donuts with your choice of toppings—everything from traditional flavors like chocolate, coconut, and cinnamon, to more exotic offerings like curry, mango…and even crunchy, colorful Nerds candy.

Choose from a small order for $3.25 (enough for 2 people to share), or large for $4.50. Additional toppings are 50 cents more. They have a sheet of recommended flavor combos in case you don't know where to start, and we couldn't resist trying the cardamom & ginger, which was simply heavenly. Spicy and sweet, with a crisp outside and fluffy light center. Next time you’re downtown, stop by and treat yourself to some deep-fried minis!

Mmm - spicy and sweet cardamom and ginger-covered minis.
