EDL Taste Test: Coco Ribbon vs. Bread Lounge

COCO RIBBON

Price

FOLLY: A little expensive cause 6 donuts N4000.

NOSA: It's definitely "priced as a gift"

FOLLY: Honorable mention to the packaging which is incredibly cute. 

Taste

Vanilla Custard, Caramel, Raspberry Jam, Nutella

FOLLY: We ordered the box of six that comes in all their flavors namely:

  • Nutella
  • Vanilla Custard
  • Raspberry Jam
  • Salted Caramel
  • Strawberries and Cream
  • Plain

NOSA: It tastes like Mr Biggs donut. Folly won't agree.

FOLLY: Of the lot, my favorites were Strawberries & Cream and Caramel.

NOSA: Ok, maybe not exactly like Mr. Biggs, but it tastes like what Mr. Biggs donut wants to be. The raspberry jam one was fantastic, in particular.

FOLLY: Third place is probably a tie with vanilla custard and raspberry jam. The Nutella was forgettable, and the plain one was in solid last place. 

Nutella, Strawberries & Cream, Plain

FOLLY: It's what Mr. Biggs donut should aspire to be. A cake donut that is fluffy but not oily. It also didn't taste like bread, I feel it's important that I mention that because of this experience. 

NOSA: I'd rather not talk about that experience.

BREAD LOUNGE

PRICE

FOLLY: Much cheaper than Coco Ribbon, at N300 a pop. 

NOSA: Probably, for good reason.

TASTE

FOLLY: The glazed donut was stale and the caramel was decent. 

NOSA: Overall, it was incredibly disappointing. Let's not talk too much about it.

VERDICT

FOLLY: I still prefer Chocolate Royale. 

NOSA: I'll be on topic, I prefer Coco Ribbon
