Fresh & Hot: (fōnuts) Opens Tomorrow!

LAist relies on your reader support.
Your tax-deductible gift today powers our reporters and keeps us independent. We rely on you, our reader, not paywalls to stay funded because we believe important news and information should be freely accessible to all.

They're not doughnuts...or even donuts! They're "f�?nuts"--a "faux-donut" created by former Bazaar pastry chef Waylynn Lucas. The entire shop dedicated to the baked goodies, (f�?nuts), opens up to the public tomorrow, August 24th.

For your dunkin' delight, the fonuts are baked using less sugar than their fatty fried cousin, though the flavor-scape is just as varied. You'll find everything from fresh seasonal fruits in the mix to the requisite bacon, along with gluten-free selections, and savory bites.

Though we got a taste of the creations in June at Taste of the Nation, yesterday (f�?nuts) opened their doors for a preview, and LAist's Julie Wolfson stopped by to sample and snap some photos.
