The new avocado latte? Bakery launches ‘coffee cup doughnut’

'It took us about a week to perfect but they are amazing'

A bakery is taking hipster coffees to the next level - by serving them in a “doughnut cup”.

Kenilworth Bakery, on Australia’s Sunshine Coast, launched the doughnut coffee cup to combine the sweet treat with a caffeine fix.

The confectionery, which costs AUS $8 (£4.50) is a cinnamon-coated doughnut which has been hollowed out, lined with nutella and filled with a shot of espresso topped with milk and foam.

​Barista Fernando Santi is the mastermind behind the creation, bakery owner Jenna Sanders told the local Sunshine Coast Daily.

“Our new barista is out of this world,” she said.

“He had the idea and played around with it, using my baking skills.

“Being Brazilian, he knows so much about coffee. It took us about a week to perfect but they are amazing.”

There is also a version filled with hot chocolate for non-coffee drinkers.

Earlier this year, the Melbourne-based Truman Cafe posted a video of its “avocado latte” concoction on social media - which received a mixed reaction.

Some thought the “avolatte” - a latte served in a hollowed-out avocado - looked great, but many thought it was too “out there”.

The doughnut coffee cup, however, has unsurprisingly proved very popular with customers.
