IDEAS IN FOOD

What's Happening Right Now?

 

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 ordered. The floors will be finished sometime next week. And, as you can see in the picture above, the counters are taking shape. It's going to be a mad dash to the finish line and we are ready for the challenge. 

You've got less than one week left to take advantage of any rewards you're still thinking about. Please share the Kickstarter campaign with anyone who you think might enjoy it. We look forward to seeing you all at the new shop!

Let's Keep Moving Forward

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. We are extremely grateful to everyone who has reached out, spread the word, donated, and continues to believe in us, in Curiosity Doughnuts, and in changing the world with doughnuts. 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. The additional funding allows us to integrate aesthetic details and acquire equipment that are considered part of Phase Two of Curiosity Doughnuts. And, some of the funds beyond the goal will be destined for the “Oh S**t fund” for the unexpected and unplanned for costs of opening a new shop. We work hard to be prepared and know to expect curveballs, because there are always new and interesting challenges when dealing with buildings and businesses. Like discovering that your building is built on a concrete slab and the only way to realistically (due to budget and time constraints) add new drains is to get a pump to pipe the wastewater up the walls and through the ceiling to the existing drains.

Now we have 16 days to exceed our goal and make magic happen. Let’s see what’s possible and keep moving forward.

Thank you for all your support, interest, help, and passion for doughnuts.

Curiosity Doughnuts, The Kickstarter

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.
