Occupying 9435 West Tropicana Avenue inside Crossroads Plaza Shopping Center and open 24-hours with fresh bakes replenishing supply as necessary, it was with items carefully boxed and delivered to an office three miles away that Pinkbox brightened Friday morning.
More and more social-media savvy over the years this visit entailed far beyond the usual “OG Classics,” and although PinkBox’s Old Fashioned Cogwheels are still Las Vegas’ best additional traditional choices are mostly as expected and more expensive than other mom n’ pop spots nearby.
Often beginning with a Fritter, this day no different and the resulting bite packed with Cinnamon plus Fruit, it was after others made selections that Banana Puddin’ continued the gluttony, its Crumble and Whip mellowing the sweet Pudding Filling center.
Fully committed to clever nomenclature, “Sup Shorty” packed with fresh Berries plus Whip, “Mama’s Tres Leches” succeeds thanks to Condensed Milk plus Cinnamon while Crumb Bum and simple rings show Roberto Armanino knew early-on to nail the basics.
Knowing full-well which purist would scoop up “Plain N’ Simple,” it was later in the day that several Doughnuts remained, “It’s Ya Birthday” stowed away intentionally while specials like a St. Patrick’s Day Caramelo, Maple Poo and DoughCros all performed admirably.
