Sesame Donuts Cafe at Sherwood

I got an everything bagel (plain[$1.69]) and a large black coffee [$2.50]. I wish I had taken a photo, apparently "everything" here means 90% sesame/poppy seeds and 10% onion/garlic/salt, so the flavor profile was off in my opinion, I had to actually look hard to see the flecks of salt/garlic/onion and their flavor wasn't noticeable. The dough was very dense and rubbery. Which can be caused by a number of problems such as too much gluten in the flour, over kneading the dough, using too little yeast, or not enough water in the dough... if I had to guess probably not enough yeast and time to rise, because the dough was still moist (enough water), they most likely have proper flour (so its not the gluten content) it could also have been left in the mixer too long I suppose... Side note the coffee tasted burnt, and was self serve from heated thermoses. It was not subtle however if you take cream and sugar you may not notice, however I drink coffee black, so it was very noticeable.

They have a great selection of donuts, baked goods, including gluten free items, and hot and cold beverages. I have been eating Sesame Donuts for the past 8 years, and in my personal opinion, they are the tastiest, and freshest donuts I have eaten in Oregon and I have tried a lot of donuts all over the state. They also have fast and friendly service and indoor and outdoor seating. This location is connected to the Sherwood Library which makes it very convenient.
