Freshly Made Donuts

Lying slap bang in the middle of England, Birmingham couldn’t be further away from the seaside if it tried. Luckily for us marooned locals, Freshly Made Donuts brings the feel of the traditional British seaside to us.
Don’t be fooled by its name. Yes, the store serves gorgeous smelling and tasting, freshly made donuts, but this is only part of the story as far as I’m concerned. As I approach the stand I can taste the saltiness of the sea, I can hear the bleeps of the arcades and I can even feel sand getting between my toes.
The counter is full of those kinds of sweets you weren’t even sure they made anymore. Where else could you buy walking sticks and umbrellas stuffed with Smarties when you’re a hundred miles or more from the sea in any direction? The sandcastles, sunglasses, and donkey rides don’t end there. Freshly Made Donuts also serves cones of vanilla ice cream from Jersey Dairies. Just don’t let the seagulls swoop down and nick your flake!
