Shortstop Coffee & Donuts
Being the massive donut fanatic that I am - I have been patiently waiting to make a trip to Shortstop Coffee & Donuts in Barangaroo since it's opening this year!
I wouldn't recommend driving there as there isn't much street parking around. I was actually lucky enough to find a tight 30 minute park in which I managed to dash in and out of the store with half a dozen donuts in hand. I would highly recommend getting the maple walnut and brown butter donut & the Australian honey and sea salt cruller! SO. GOOD. However, I did find the texture of the donuts a little cake-like and I wasn't the biggest fan of the burnt caramel, fennel & sea salt donut. The fennel really overpowered the burnt caramel and sea salt texture and it left my tastebuds feeling slightly confused.
But still...A perfect afternoon pick-me-up if you're on a sugar low. Give it a go if you haven't already.
There is something incredibly special about travelling with someone who has known you for more than three decades. Someone who remembers every version of you .. the younger you, the more chaotic you, the dressed-up you, the tired you .. and who can still make you laugh until your stomach hurts.
