A place for the pause

On Independence Avenue, opposite the Hilton Hotel and next to Fashion World, a doughnut counter opens into a small creative escape.

Make room for Close-up of a freshly iced doughnut on handmade ceramic little moments.

“The donuts were beautifully presented with delicious toppings. They go really heavy on the toppings, which is great.”
