London’s doughnut lovers will already likely be very familiar with Crosstown Doughnuts. They’re a mainstay at London’s food markets and have grown from a cult sourdough doughnut bakery to one of our city’s foodie institutions. In fact, they’ve now been operating for ten years (!) and count 23 London locations to their name, plus five regional locations. To celebrate their 10th birthday, they’ve created a brand new flavour AND they’re giving away 800 free doughnuts – TODAY!
The new flavour
How many people can say they got a brand-new doughnut flavour for their birthday? I guess it’s different when you’re a bakery that makes doughnuts, though, because that’s exactly what’s happening for Crosstown’s 10th birthday.
To celebrate a decade in the business, Crosstown has created the new Peanut Butter Caramel & Banana doughnut. The new treat (which is vegan-friendly!) features peanut butter caramel, the brand’s signature vegan sourdough, banana and peanut caramel glaze, and cocoa-coated peanuts. Oh, and since it’s a special birthday treat, they’ve also chucked some gold on top. You know, as you do!
How to get free doughnuts
This Friday (May 3), starting at 12pm, Crosstown Doughnuts are giving away 800 of their special Peanut Butter Caramel & Banana flavour doughnuts at the following locations:
- Crosstown Soho
- Crosstown Brick Lane
- Crosstown Battersea Power Station
- Crosstown Canary Wharf
Each store will be giving away 200 free doughnuts. To grab a free doughnut, you just have to turn up! Don’t leave it too late, though, we’re sure these free doughnuts will be snapped up quickly!
Said Crosstown CEO, Howard Ebison:
“We’ve enjoyed a whole decade of serving up fresh sourdough doughnuts and what a 10 years it’s been! As we reflect on those 10 years, some of our standout moments include launching a range of award-winning vegan doughnuts, collaborating with some of the very best in our industry, navigating a pandemic, introducing small-batch ice cream to the line-up, expanding into online gifting and nationwide delivery and of course, not forgetting developing hundreds of new doughnut recipes.
“To mark this milestone, we’re celebrating throughout the year, so brace yourselves for a packed calendar of returning Crosstown classics, sweet collaborations, in-store events and much more!”
We can’t wait to see what they have in store. It looks like we’re going to be eating a LOT of doughnuts this year!
