How time flies. It’s been over a year since Crosstown swung open its doors in Bristol for the very first time (Saturday, February 25, 2023). And we’ve fallen head over heels for the London-born shop’s sourdough doughnuts. To celebrate this one-year milestone, Crosstown has an offer you do-nut want to miss out on!
Having started in 2014 at a stall on Leather Lane Market, Crosstown now has locations all over London, as well as in Brighton, Oxford and Cambridge. Proving incredibly popular in the South West, a Bath location and a second in Bristol (in Cabot Circus) also opened last year. But the Queens Road store is where it’s at this Friday.
“We’ve been made to feel right at home in Bristol, having met lots of friendly faces who have become regulars at Crosstown,” said Howard Ebison, CEO at Crosstown. So this Friday (March 22), Crosstown is giving away 100 signature vegan Tongan Vanilla Bean Glaze and Dark Chocolate Truffle doughnuts, from 12pm. Who can say no to a naughty lunchtime treat? Not us!
If you do miss out, you still won’t be left disappointed. Award-winning, enjoy a mix of firm favourites and seasonal delicacies always on offer. Right now, help yourself to: the vegan Easter-themed hot cross bun doughnut crafted with filled with creamy cinnamon custard and topped with an orange glaze; or a rose iced and pistachio crumbed doughnut, filled with pistachio and rose custard.
Beyond selling a dazzling array of sweetened fried dough, Crosstown will also serve locals small-batch ice cream, with such unique flavours as Spiced Pumpkin Cake and Peanut Butter & Blackcurrant. As well as, special bars of chocolate. You can also just simply drop by for a speciality coffee if you’ve lost your sweet tooth. Stay and relax on the indoor seating – we’re sure you’ll eventually be tempted by something.
If you don’t fancy the walk up Park Street, however, you can make all these things come to you. Crosstown offers next-day delivery across all of Bristol including, Harbourside, Clifton, Gloucester Road and Stokes Croft, Bedminster, Redcliffe, Totterdown, Kingsdown and Redland.
