Crosstown Doughnuts is a London doughnut pop-up shop, and they can be found in several of London's markets. The doughnuts are handmade and sourced from local ingredients where possible, and they do not contain trans-fats. They came on my radar at the beginning of May 2014 when I saw them advertise on Twitter, but I was unable to try the doughnuts as they were only available on Leather Lane market during work hours. Luckily, a pop-up market at Bishopsgate in the City in 2014 meant that I could finally try one last summer. Since then, they've been expanding their business quickly. The gourmet doughnut seems to be very much in-fashion at the moment.
Crosstown Doughnuts eventually set up a shop in Piccadilly tube station, which has now been moved to a larger location in Soho. In addition to selling from their truck at markets and other pop-up venues and at their own shops, I have seen their doughnuts for sale in Whole Foods and in Selfridges. They are currently trading at Broadway Market (in the school yard) and Leather Lane market. I visited the market a couple of times and have tried their douhnuts: a cinnamon one and a chocolate one. Both were good.
