What does /ck/ think of the recent hipster donut trend?

Is it good that this generation is starting to care about food again? Or is it cringe that they're making something as simple as a donut into something pretentious?

pretentious hipster food is a good thing
I don't have to care about the people who frequent the restaurant to eat their stuff

[Anonymous No.13582232]

>>13582220
The second thing. I want people to care about making food at home again.

They don't care about food, they care about posturing their ststus on instagram. Half of them, especially the women, throw the food in the trash after taking a picture

It's already dying down and has been for a year.
Voodoo donuts spread like AIDs about five-ish years ago and that was the peak of the shitty hipster donut craze.
It's all about boba now.

I worked at a Yelp "influencer" event and a few of the actual pro food photographers were cool but the vast majority of people were very open about not really eating the stuff they post or at most having a few bites and just kept introducing themselves by their handle instead of their name.

Voodoo Doughnut is probably the most widely famous hipster/gourmet donut place and it opened 17 fucking years ago. It wasn't the first donut place to make weird flavors, either. That anon is correct, this shit has been going on for nearly 20 years at least and OP must have just come out of a 25 year coma and stumbled across them.

It’s gay because they want shit that’s “Instagram worthy” so all the donuts that places make are overly complicated with frosting shaping them into unicorns and rainbow cocks squiring jizz and shit, cereal donuts are the new meme things too and they suck ass. The donut place I go to every Saturday morning is good but the amount of meme donuts they have drives me nuts, I never see these faggot hipsters get classics like buttermilk bars, old fashioned, crullers, fritters and maple bars, they get the rainbow penis and then post it on their Instagram and then toss it in the garbage. Fuck I hate them.

I live in a pretty rural unincorporated town and we recently got a hipster pop-up bakery that only sells on fridays, saturdays and sundays. They charge $8 for a single cupcake, and $12 for a fancy cupcake (and by fancy I mean they crumble oreos and cereal on a regular cupcake). My area is mostly retired seniors with limited budget and this pop up loves to blame the community for not buying into its bullshit and driving them to increase the already insane prices.

In all seriousness, though, I always take pleasure in flyovers just discovering brief, 1st world food fads 15-20 years later.

That was a trend three years ago. The donut shops spawned in that period are starting to close down at this point. I don't know what the current hip trend is because I don't keep up, but I'm sure I'll see it everywhere sooner or later.

[Anonymous No.13584570]

>>13584564
Current hip trend is definitely food made with bigs instead of what it's normally made of.

I do love a good buttermilk bar, my favorite donut by far. It just sucks because then the places make less of the good donuts and more of the meme donuts but yeah you’re correct. More good donuts for us, fuck em.

That makes me hate them more now. Imagine living in a country where you just take pictures of food and don't even bother to take a bite of it before you throw it away

I hate hipsters but hipster donuts are just plain better. Went to this place that made them fresh to order with all sorts of meme flavors, maple bacon, cereal on top, coconut and marshmallow, fucking flavortown. I was never that crazy about "normal" donuts, but now I see that's because Krispy Kreme has dogshit quality, and donuts are best served fresh as fuck.

Sometimes their overpriced trash, sometimes they're fucking amazing. Price is way too high regardless. Union Square Donuts in Cambridge has some of the best food items I've ever eaten, period. Every other hipster donut shop I've been to in the Boston area has been junk.

[Anonymous No.13585486]

>>13582220
I'm OK with some of them, but I dislike it when they put cereal pieces on them, or if they put bacon or other kinds of meat on them.

Nope unless you count the time I got a coffee and cake with a aunt and we talked for about 40minutes.
The table next to us had 5 girls all with basically pic relate on the table with whole cakes and donuts stacked on the glass.
They took lots of photos.
When they left non of them ate more than a few pieces or finished the drink.
They cost $18-26 per drink.

This trend predates the popular use of the word “hipster.” Hell, even Dunkin fucking Donuts used to do crazy promotional donuts all the time in the 90’s.

There's a difference between a trend and a few places existing. When there's a sudden widespread surge of interest in them, that's when it's a trend. It did happen years ago, but not 20 years ago.

Any ethnic food trend will have already been available in areas that have a significant population of said ethnicity. Any food trend capable of being easily adopted in areas that already support those kinds of business will be quickly adopted. The only food trends that spread slow are ones that are based on ingredients or equipment not readily available. And lets face it, most food trends like fancy cupcakes or hipster donuts are basically nothing more than repackaged carnival food being sold to the kind of people who have scoffed and turned their nose up at a donut covered in kid's breakfast cereal if it were being sold at the Minnesota State Fair. I can't wait for the hipster funnel cake trend to start.
