For Your Morning Fix: Firecakes

Our Fave: Triple Valrhona Chocolate Cake

Why We’re Sweet on It: Chocolate cake, chocolate icing and cocoa nibs add up to confection perfection. Somehow, it satisfies a craving without being cloyingly sweet. Not a chocolate fan? Nab the Tahitian vanilla glazed if it’s there; it won the Donut Fest award.

The Digs: By now you know that gourmet donuts and tight quarters go hand in hand (this one’s a mere 600 square feet), but it’s a cozy, bright space.

Perks: Kids can wash down their snack with organic whole or 2% milk, or fresh pressed orange juice or lemonade. There’s La Colombe coffee for you.
