Cake with sprinkles, a still life.We have anxiously been awaiting the arrival of the Top Pot Doughnuts to the Wedgewood neighborhood (though, it is officially still in R/B). It opened to great fanfare earlier this month after a summer of daily drive-bys to note progress on the building. It is now open and quite lovely on the inside. Nice and airy, lots of tables, a big window to sit by. Outdoor seating is available for those who wish to take their four footed friends out for a stroll followed by a cake doughnut. The palm trees are a great addition to the location as is the large toroid that serves a doughnut.
The neighborhood needs a place like Top Pot, open late, free wireless, mellow tunes, walkable and independent. It is next to Grateful Bread which makes some fabulous bear claws and Danish and is also a nice community hang out with live music. The best part of both these places is that they don't involve the urge to purchase 1. 175 dollar jeans 2. a designer purse that is the equivalent of a mortgage payment or 3. corporate coffee. I can live with that. : )
I'm sure that more of my trips to the library will be on foot from now just to compensate for that latte I'll imbibe on my way back. For me its an uphill climb and a nice leisurely walk back, which I will spend checking out garden happenings in the 'hood.
Now, if they would only make doughnut holes or bear cub claws.
