Sesame's Doughnuts are worth the hype

Halva one we just tried was ok, dough is really good and there was a bit of real halva on the top but cream inside was a bit strange, chemical tasting… definitely not real halva that was used inside. Oh well…

The taam eden ones have much fluffier dough, the sesame ones are a little heavier/doughier. both are amazing it's a matter of taste.

we really liked the apple-pie flavor from taam eden this year, and the lotus from sesame

I second the apple pie doughnut. I don't love doughnuts and I don't love apple turnovers but I very much enjoyed this taam Eden doughnut.

The Nutella one was soooo good. 2nd time we bought it this chanuka!
My husband loved the pretzel salted caramel one.
Lotus and rosmary were meh.
The custard and jelly was like other stores. Good but nothing amazing.
We are trying the cheese later.

I found the filling to be inconsistent regarding the amount. For that price, I wish they made sure there was a decent amount of filling in each one.

Between dh, dd and myself we had 4. (I didn't end up buying today. So proud) strawberry, rosemary chocolate, peanut butter and salted caramel. Dd raved like crazy about the strawberry. Dh and I loved the chocolate. Salted caramel non of us liked and peanut butter is delicious if you like peanut butter.
I liked the amount of filling. I would not eat if it would have more. It was just fine.

Same here. I’m so sad, I treated my family based on this thread and they were really dense and heavy 😢.

Rosemary chocolate like the herb (not a combo I would think would be popular in a pastry)--or Rosemarie chocolate as in the brand name except they call it rosemary to avoid copyright problems? Quite a difference. Not being especially fond of the herb, which reminds me of cough medicine,
and very fond of the chocolate, I would want to know which it is.

Rosemarie, and if it's spelled rosemary, I think it's just because they misspell it, nothing to do with copyright concerns.

Today I treated myself to the Milchig white chocolate from sesame. It was oh my goodness delicious!

I treated the family to rosemary, lotus, Oreo, and salted caramel. I cut them each into 4 or 5 pieces everyone tastes from each one. Wasn’t crazy over any of them.

Those I wouldn’t run back for, the Milchig white chocolate on the other hand I definitely would

Lotus from sesame omg I'm drooling

Well I was drooling over the cheese donut from Sesame.

Before I tasted it.

Im not drooling any more.

Not worth the calories. Id rather have a CHEAP Smirk bar, ANY TIME!

For the price of ONE donut, I could almost buy a bag of Smirk minis! Or mini Milk Munches.

Ehhhhh.

I had rosemary today was delicious.

My son devoured the strawberry - I didn't go for it.

Definitely a matter of taste. I always loved chocolate. The combo of the filling to the dough was yum

Someone treated me to a rosemary chocolate doughnut from sesame. It was incredibly delicious! I wouldn't spend it on myself but I understand those that do. . I've tried others this chanukah, and they don't come close to the ones from sesame.
That's just my opinion. A freilchin chanukah!!

Thats your opinion!

Im really trying to be fair!

I just tasted Sesame's Pistachio donut.

I think I paid for lots of Green food coloring in glaze and in filling.

I didnt detect the slightest bit of Pistachio flavor.

Why did I eat it?

Yuck.
