Cello's Doughnuts and Dips

Yummy Ice Cream Creation by Cello's

With four branches in Manila (one in Katipunan, one in Taft, one in SM North EDSA and one in Greenhills), Cello's Doughnuts and Dips is only known to a number of people. Not a lot of people know that there is such doughnut shop that is cozy and has this homey feeling, but serves mouth-watering doughnuts and pastries of all different shapes and sizes. The shop offers a range of doughnut and dip flavors that's sure to get you coming backfor more,  from simple cheese to enticing choco-oreo-peanutbutter toppings.

Oreo, Choco-Oreo, Cheese, Chocolate, and Caramel are the most well-known and requested for doughnut flavors at Cello's. Although these flavors (and all the others offered by Cello's) are common tastes for toppings in doughnut shops, Cello's' flavors give off a different taste. They have a certain unique touch to the tongue that will certainly bring out the doughnut-lover in you.

When you enter the doors and stand by the counter for an order, a splash of the Cello's orange-and-white-circles theme will make itself noticeable, along with the sweet scent of baking dough. After you've made your order, the ones assisting will take the freshly baked doughnuts and put your chosen toppings on you doughnuts. And yes, they DO do that in front of you, and you're pretty much assured your doughnuts are hot, well-baked, and smothered with toppings. For Oreo flavored toppings, Cello's showers your doughnuts with finely ground oreo cookies (without the vanilla cream ,of course), with a touch of sugar. Crushed oreos go really great coupled with the soft dough. As for the Choco-Oreo flavor, the same ground oreos are put on, but instead of having them stick to ordinary batter, the donuts are first dipped into chocolate frosting, and then into the bowl of ground oreos. Twice the chocolatey goodness! It may sound too sweet even for one with a sweet-tooth, but it's not really that sugary, with the milky dough that balances the sweetness of the chocolates and the mildness of bread. Cheese toppings, on the other hand, are midly sweet cheese grains sprinkled onto the donuts, that give off the tempting taste of good cheese and cheese bread. The Chocolate and Caramel flavors are two of the most evil flavors around in Cello's, continuing to tempt you to have more of these flavors because of it's goodness. Chocolate, being one of the famous favorites eveywhere else, is ordered due to commonality and it's good reputation of taste in Cello's, along with the wicked yet delicious Caramel.

Cello's does not only sell a variety of donuts with extravagant flavors, but also different baked pastries with  notable flavors themselves. Pillows, for one, are small, squarish chunks of bread with the same texture and taste as plain doughnut bread. These are similar to C's, C-shaped pillows. Both Cello's Pillows and C's go with Dips, flavors of toppings in small bowls where Pillows and C's are dipped in. Ice Cream Creations are also a popular dish in the shop. These are donuts with toppings served on a plate with ice cream in the middle, whipped cream atop the ice cream, and finally, flavored sprinkles on the peak. There are pre-made flavors to choose from in Ice Cream Creations, but there is also an option to create your own combinations. The shop also offers drinks ranging from plain milk to juices to milkshakes. Orders can be taken as single orders, a box of six for regular-sized donuts, or a box of 15 for cocktail donuts (these come in half the sizes of regular donuts).

Cello's doughnuts are one of the most satisfying doughnuts ever baked. Once you get hooked onto Cello's, you might start wishing for doughnuts without center holes just to get the fullness these treats bring.
