So, it’s National Doughnut Week – a celebration of one of life’s gifts that some say is better than Christmas, Easter and St Patrick’s Day combined.
Naturally, we would have to agree; these sweetie goods have become the food craze of 2015 for a very good reason.
Here are seven Dublin doughnuts that you absolutely need to tick off your list.

O’Connell Street’s famous doughnut kiosk long predates the recent doughnut craze – it's been going since 1978, believe it or not – and serves some of the freshest fare in the city.
Handle with a napkin, and keep well away from your phone – these things are gratuitously greasy.

We shall say no more. Available at 3fe, including their new venue on Sussex Street, and Avoca.
They didn’t invent the doughnut-croissant hybrid – but they may just have perfected it. This is a work of art, and needs to be savoured in one of their Dublin stores on George's Street or Aungier Street.
If a doughnut has fruit on it does that make it one of your five a day?
Aungier Danger is the fourth most-searched term on Lovin Dublin, and with creations like this it’s not hard to see why.
