Owned by former influencers-turned-marketing Alexandra Lourdes and Lin Jerome Saint Honoré advertises itself as “the first Couture Doughnut & Beignet Patisserie,” or another way of saying artisan Doughnuts targeting ladies with expendable income by way of cute décor.
Part of Refined Agency with Cafe Lola, a success since 2018, Saint Honoré focuses on a Brioche base made daily and decorated elaborately such that even basic flavors feature bits of gold leaf and a price of $4 despite Icing that cracks and falls off.
No doubt focused on more than just how things taste, neon and a wall of foliage demanding photos featuring polished nails gripping Pastry, the first thing that stands out besides high prices is the heft of each Doughnut thanks to eggy-Dough over-penetrated by Oil.
Prone to seasonal change, “Pumpkin Spice” and a Berliner with Cranberry filling befitting Turkey Day, S’mores eats predictably rich while the Cannoli is better at Pink Box.
Also offerings Vegan and Gluten-free choices, plus laminated “Doughsaints” on the weekend, those seeking Saint Honoré’s best bite should be prepared to spend $10.00 for a Dubai Doughnut that is crispy but creamy while the seasonal Apple Crumble is also enjoyable.
