...and share their harvest are the very best kinds of friends. Finding edibles in the woods is not my forte, fortunately Judy and Andy are very good at it and gave us some beautiful ramps. Thanks guys!   In order to preserve the harvest I considered making them into pickles or kimchi. Because I didn't plan ahead, I didn't have exactly what I need for either, so I improvised. Oddly, I had no gochugaru in the house but I had a new bottle of Sriracha powder. I didn't have any fresh garlic either, so having that in the seasoning powder worked out. I made a marinade using equal parts white b ..read more

  As I write this, Alex is torching a table top to create a single black table for the shop. It's made from the recycled bowling alley wood. Once he's done we're going to coat the wood and let it's natural beauty shine through.  Those of you who frequented the Spring House location will be happy to hear that Cynthia is returning as our Chef. We are very excited to have the team back together again. We have a lot more room to play in the new space and we're so glad that she's here for it. Things are slowly coming together. The outdoor signs have been approved by the township and or ..read more

This is a re-post of the recent update on our Kickstarter campaign. Together, you have helped us reach our Kickstarter funding goal in 4 days. That is incredible.

You all are making it happen. Now we have the opportunity to continue fundraising. Though the numbers exceed our original goal, they still have a purpose.

After months of searching, we finally signed a lease. We are opening a new Curiosity Doughnuts at 800 Edison Furlong Rd, Furlong, PA (Doylestown Township). We are so excited, and to help get things up and running, we've launched a Kickstarter. We can't wait to get back into the kitchen and make doughnuts (and fried chicken sandwiches!) again. Please check out our campaign, share it if you like it, and we hope to see you at the new shop in January 2023.   ..read more

Benne or sesame seeds have a long history in the United States. The seeds were brought over by enslaved Africans, grown in hidden gardens, and eventually planted throughout the South. These days we mostly see sesame seeds in Asian dishes and on hamburger buns, but benne wafers are still a very popular cookie throughout the South.     I did not grow up eating these cookies. As a kid, I occasionally got to try sesame candies at parties. They were little brown logs and as you sucked on them the seeds came apart. They were crunchy and nutty, but I thought of them as candies for adults ..read more

  Okay, so fried chicken is a thing that lots of us have played with over the years. Recently, I saw our friend, Kenji, post about updating his 5 ingredient fried chicken recipe, swapping pickled jalapenos for his pickles in the recipe. He was smitten with his swap. I can agree with the move, as we did our pretzel crusted fried chicken with cherry pepper caramel sauce for years. The spice is nice.     I love the idea of simple, but, as anyone who knows me knows, I will make simple hard. My one hang-up with the 5 ingredient fried chicken sandwich is the lack of mayonnaise on th ..read more

  Roughly 7 years ago Curiosity Doughnuts began with a question, "What can we do with doughnuts?" The answer is still being written. Curiosity Doughnuts gets its name from our own restless curiosity. We are always thinking about new flavors and textures, bouncing around different ideas, and rotating our offerings, because we’re never satisfied with the status quo. Curiosity Doughnuts began as a part time passion project in the Stockton Market that grew into a full time business with shops inside Whole Foods Market and beyond. We were moving from NH back to PA and we wanted to try somethi ..read more

We opened Curiosity Doughnuts six years ago this weekend. I look back at what we were doing and how we did it. It was difficult and exhilarating. It was unknown. Six years later and our days still feel the same. Except now we have a few more doughs under our belts and have developed a unique style. Not knowing and being constantly curious has allowed us to discover, create and evolve. Thanks you to our incredible staff and passionate customers for keeping us moving forward ..read more
