Arrived here at lunchtime and unfortunately there were only two doughnuts left.
Ordered the chicken and avocado bagel, the homer doughnut and a cappuccino.
We received our items very quickly and although the staff weren't particularly happy they were polite and professional.
The bagel was beautifully soft with generous filling of fresh chicken, avocado and mayo. It was really something to relish.
The coffee was smooth, hot, and not too strong.
The doughnut which I was really looking forward to was covered in thick chocolate, filled with jam and for me was just too sweet unfortunately.
I couldn't eat more than a bite.
I would definitely return for another bagel and maybe to try a more subtle doughnut.
As an absolute sweet tooth, I'm a sucker for a good doughnut, and they don't get much better than the huge range from Goldelucks. This booth inside Eastland shopping centre tempts you in with it's gorgeous display of pretty donuts, and you can take away or eat in as they have a few comfortable tables available. There black and gold branding makes them stand out, so they are easy to locate in the centre.
With so many choices, we were fortunate that the staff were lovely and accommodating, as making our choices proved difficult. I'm sure we tested their patience, but I'm also pretty sure that they are used to this indecision, as every donut really looks amazing. Prices are very reasonable, particularly the box of 9 for $40.
Between the four of us (my two kids included), we all had favourites. We all loved the Golden Gaytime and Caramel; but the Marge and Homer (iced jam and custard doughnuts with sprinkles) proved to be Mr 16s favourites, while Miss 21 loved the strawberry cheesecake. The lemon meringue was my favourite, and the hubby loved the Bullseye. But really, all were amazing, with super light dough, and tasty fillings and toppings.
Coffee, teas and cold drinks are available; as are a small range of savoury rolls. They also have dossants, which are donut croissant hybrids, which also look great. However, let's face it, the doughnuts really are the star at Goldelucks, and these simple treats really are as delicious as they look.
Thank you for hosting us.
Nestled inside Eastland Shopping Centre in Ringwood, the doughnuts place surely stood out with its black and yellow sign.
There’s sooo many choices to choose from! There are doughnuts and then there are dossants (which is a cross between a donut and a croissant but it doesn’t look like a cruffin/cronut).
We ended up getting a cappuccino and all these flavours (for about $40!) – 5 dossants and 4 doughnuts – such a great value!
Dossants: Original, Nutella Rocher, Nutella, Golden Gaytime, Tim Tam Crunch
Doughnut flavours: Lemon Meringue, Oreo Dream, Caramilk lovers, Strawberry cheesecake
The Strawberry cheesecake was one of my faves as the filling was so generous, and light. I also like the Caramilk as I like the chocolate block but it can be a bit sweet for others.
Thank you Goldelucks.
