But I always think about stopping at Oren's for a pick-me-up. Any coffees you recommend? One time I visited Ciao Bella during my lunch break. The gelato and fruit sorbets were better than most in the U.S., but still didn't match up to the kinds I had in Italy. But the chocolate sorbet was INSANE! It tasted like it was made with bittersweet chocolate, but the ingredients are just cocoa, water and sugar! Actually, I get out at the Chrysler building exit, since it’s closer to where I work.

I did give up after eating the chocolate one, but went back to the caramel after you mentioned it. The caramel variety is 100% better than the chocolate. I still didn't finish the entire thing, but it's significantly better. Hi Jessica -- I'm sure that the dougnuts are better direct from the source, but they're not bad at Oren's. Maybe I'll run into you there one morning! Hi Nic — Thank you for asking about the caramel marshmallow!

I work by Grand Central too! Are the Doughnut Plant products good at Oren's? I hear it's best to get the doughnuts at the real shop, since they "age" quickly. But I don't want to go all the way to the LES. What a coincidence! I work by Grand Central too! Are the Doughnut Plant products good at Oren’s?

Was its fate to remain uneaten, its future marred by the disgrace of its chocolate predecessor? (Not to be overdramatic, or anthing.) What about the caramel marshmallow?
