10 Ways to Treat Yourself on Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is traditionally associated with chocolates, roses, and champagne. Maybe some lingerie or even a cheesy proposal. BORING. No better way to show yourself (or bae) some love than with Valentine’s inspired carbs. Check out my top 10 V-day picks of donuts, cakes, and pies from across the country. Go ahead, treat yoself.

Donuts

Sweet Daze Dessert Bar

Richardson, TX

I ordered a half dozen of these beautifully crafted donuts last weekend for a grand total of $31. The yeast is thicker than most donuts I’ve tried, but still a delicious treat. Their conversation heart cheesecakes are also adorable! Order yours here.

Donut Princess LA

Los Angeles, CA

Flowers last less than a week. Donuts last maybe 2 days, but at least this bouquet is functional, okay?! Treat your significant other at work, your roommate or, hell, even the person you’ve been on 3 dates with and aren’t sure of your relationship status. Order your donut bouquet here

Alternative for Las Vegas residents

Blackbird Doughnuts

Boston, MA

The deadline to order these donuts was at 2 PM today, the 12th. Oops. But who knows, maybe they’ll still be able to accommodate you! Try calling 617-482-9000.

 

 

Glazed Donut Works

Dallas, TX

Glazed Donut Works is pretty popular when it comes to V-day donuts. According to their Instagram feed, all pre-orders are now closed. Good news is that you have two locations to pick up a pre-boxed dozen Valentine’s donuts for $32 + tax, or half-dozen donuts for $17.50 + tax. If you can’t make it to their Deep Ellum location, try Legacy Hall in Plano. The Food Hall’s doors remain open until 11 PM.

If you can’t get enough of Glazed Donut Works’ goodies, check out their upcoming donut and beer pairing event. The festivities are hosted this Sunday, 2/18, at LUCK gastropub at Trinity Groves. Tickets are still available, but with limited spots left! Will I see you there??

Record Number of y’all have placed pre-orders! We’ll be contacting all pre-order placers today to confirm. Pre-orders are now closed so if you didn’t place a pre order, we’ll have pre boxed Valentine’s Day Donut Dozens (one of each Valentine’s Menu item) for $32 plus tax and half dozens of we pick ’em boxes for $17.50 plus tax. It’s our single busiest day of the year outside of national donut day, and we will sell out, so get to either location early if you’ve not already placed a pre-order. Can’t wait to see all of you Wednesday at either Our world headquarters in @deepellumtexas or in #plano @legacyfoodhall for an epic Valentine’s Day! #deepellum #legacyhall #donutlove #happyvalentinesday

Blue Star Donuts

Portland, OR and Los Angeles, CA

This decadent treat looks (almost) too expensive to eat! The Rose-Rosé donut is made of French dark chocolate buttermilk, all sauced up in rose water and sparkling rosé glaze. Click here to contact Blue Star’s various locations.

Non-Donuts

Chicago Public House

Chicago, IL

This monstrosity of a milkshake goes for a whopping $15. No order-ahead as far as I’ve seen, so take your date or your Galentines out on the town for this one.

 

Stax Ice Cream

New York, NY

This stack is just perfection…Feast your eyes on Konery’s French Vanilla cone with Stax’s new Rose Gold ice cream, topped with Eileen’s famous cheesecake tart. The Rose Gold flavor, made especially for this collaboration, is a refreshing combination of sweet lychees, delicate rose petals, and light notes of clover honey.

Starting tomorrow, Feb 9, and for ONLY one week, you can order this limited-time Valentine’s Special in-store!! – 🚨 This Valentine’s season, we will be pairing Konery’s French Vanilla cone with our *new* Rose Gold ice cream, topped with Eileen’s famous cheesecake tart. – Our Rose Gold flavor, made especially for this collaboration, is a refreshing combination of sweet lychees, delicate rose petals, and light notes of clover honey. – 99.9% chance you’ll get a sweeter deal if you bring a friend 😉 see ya 👋🏼 — 📸: @hungryhungryhilda #staxicecream #sweetvibesonly . . . . . #zagat #eatingfortheinsta #feedfeed #devourpower #foodandwine #instafood #spoonfeed #tastingtable #cheatday #yelpeatsnyc #tryitordiet #eaterny #icecreambae #eatfamous #buzzfeast #cheatdayeats #fwx #nycdining #buzzfedfood #foodilysm #newyorkeats #newforkcity #myfab5 #nyctravel #nomnomnom #food52grams #nyceats

Supermoon Bake House

New York, NY

I don’t normally go for pie, but my mouth is literally drooling for this layered $45 Sweetie Pie… Unfortunately, the chocolate, graham cracker, cheesecake and champagne-filled pie is SOLD OUT as of today, but don’t write off their regular cruffins and croissants for your sweetie. For instance, I would be very satisfied to nosh on the $8 Banana Split Sundae Twice-Baked Croissant or the $6 Black Forest Cruffin. This is for NYC peeps only, though.

 

 

Emporium Pies

Dallas, TX

How cute are these mini and assorted Valenpies? Emporium is partnering with Dirt Flowers florist this year. Your V-Day package includes 9 mini Valenpies boxed up in EP packaging with a succulent plant from Dirt Flower. Order for local pickup or delivery here. They also ship nationwide via Goldbely, but it might not arrive until after V-day.
