Coney Donut Review: Donut Ice-Cream Cones With Endless Toppings At Somerset

Food at Coney Donut While donut ice-cream cones are the new kids on our dessert block, they’ve been steadily gaining popularity around the world for the past few years. Enamoured by these treats during their trip to New York, co-owners Esther and Ken were inspired to introduce their Soft Serve Donut Cone ($6.80) to the local crowd.

As such, biting into the cone was like chomping through a bread bowl, with the bread bolstered by the candied notes of the ice-cream. On the donut was a blessing in disguise, the absence of condiments, such as sugar and cinnamon. The cone paired nicely with the soft serve and delivered a well-balanced sweetness that soothed my taste buds.

On top of their donut ice-cream cones, Coney Donuts thrilled us with their English Breakfast ($4.80) as well. In preparing this filling treat, their signature cone was crammed with scrambled eggs and topped with rashers of bacon.

The MVP of this trio was their silky scrambled eggs, which amped up the pillowy touch of the bread. Lightly seasoned with salt and pepper, these eggs zhng -ed up the donut with their rich yolkiness.

Another novel concoction worth returning for was their Salted Caramel Macchiato ($4.80) . The cone was filled with house-made coffee custard and liberally drizzled with salted caramel sauce.

And with mocha beans adorning the cone, this gorgeous treat was sheer coffee bliss. While I usually find salted caramel overpoweringly sweet, I was surprised by the cohesive jumble of flavours in their Salted Caramel Macchiato. The honeyed accents of salted caramel were met by an equally robust bitterness of the coffee custard and left a pleasing aftertaste on the tongue.

Ambience at Coney Donut Step through the doors of TripleOne Somerset and Coney Donut will be one of the first stores to greet you. It in addition helps that the aroma of freshly made donuts smacks you in the nose as you walk past the eatery.

Unlike the decadent medley of sweet and greasy flavours we are accustomed to, these cones offer a well-balanced combination of flavours. And that I believe will be Coney Donuts key to success – transforming a traditional dessert and making the taste their own.

And with new flavours such as salted egg yolk chicken in the horizon, I definitely see myself returning in the future.
