Officially opening its doors on Saturday at 5am after a week of unannounced playdates for those happening to stop by, it was just after 9am that a visit was paid to Glaze Donuts, the small shop apparently \u201cseeing a rush\u201d earlier that had depleted all but the Red Velvet cake doughnuts, though several yeasted versions remained.<\/p>\n

\"DSC02137\"

Owned by a second generation doughnut maker, the hand-crafted bases created by his father in Texas, Glaze features three tiers of fried dough ranging from $1 Classics to $2.25 Fancy selections and reportedly making each in small batches in order to ensure freshness it is thus far mostly classics that compose the glass cases, some whimsical toppings aside.<\/p>\n

\"DSC02140\"

Offering 15% off and free donut holes to those attending opening day it was after perusing the remaining options and chatting with the doughnut shop’s daughter that a total of eight options were selected, one made-to-order while three were still warm from the fryer, first bites of the raspberry filled pocket making a delightful mess as natural jam loaded with seeds and sweetness poured forth onto the wax paper beneath it.<\/p>\n

\"DSC02141\"

Waiting on the Strawberry Shortcake for a few minutes as Glaze makes the extra effort to slice and fill them a la minut in order to avoid sogginess, it is unfortunate that the whipped cream used is such low quality as to mar the quality of the fresh berries, a little stiffer cream likely to allow them to not only be stored in cases but also to simply taste less overwhelmed by sugar.<\/p>\n

\"DSC02139\"

Admittedly impressed by the base, a more traditional yeast ring than the spongecake at Pink Box or supple Brioche at O-Face, Glaze eats somewhere between the texture of Krispy Kreme and Dunkin’ and with glazes trending sweeter than some the best bites were of the rich dark chocolate and the maple studded with bacon, the plain maple requested by a friend unfortunately too sweet, almost to the point of cloying.<\/p>\n

\"DSC02166\"

Tiger Tails sold-out and Bear Claws not available it was next in a ‘cinnamon roll’ that $2.25 was invested, the texture not particularly different from that of the simple rings but the flavor proving absolutely excellent with light notes of spice and interior rings visibly glistening with a layer of melting butter.<\/p>\n

\"DSC02167\"

Modestly impressed by the soft red cake with a good bit of cocoa that represented the only available non-yeasted ring that morning it was finally into the fritter that teeth were sunk and finding almost no crunch to the exterior with an oily, limp interior that was at least pleasantly studded with cinnamon and apples it was exactly one more bite that was taken before discarding the rest, yet another sub-par fritter in a city where such things are far too common and not much of an impetus to pass the far superior ACE Donuts on the corner of West Tropicana and South Fort Apache just a few miles up the road.<\/p>\n

\"DSC02165\"

THREE STARS: Using phrases like \u201cSmall Batch\u201d as if to justify prices that compare to those at O-Face or Pink Box without the high quality base or housemade jams of the former or unique offerings of the latter Glaze Doughtnuts is more-or-less just another doughnut shop in Las Vegas, a place worth visiting if you’re in the area but not one worth going out of the way for.<\/p>\n

RECOMMENDED: Cinnamon Roll, Raspberry Filled.<\/p>\n

AVOID: Apple Fritter, Maple Glazed.<\/p>\n

TIP: 5a-4p 7 days a week, also offering Kolaches and a few savory options that may be worth a try.<\/p>\n
