Let Them Eat Cake

Fritelli’s Doughnuts & Coffee

Food Rule No. 453: No cupcakes, brownies, cookies, pies, bonbons, sundaes, and/or layer cakes shall be eaten before lunchtime.

Fine print: Doughnuts are filed under “breakfast” and therefore can be consumed the instant you open your eyes.

Well, that’s good news. Celebrate with a trip to the newly opened Frittelli’s Doughnuts & Coffee in Beverly Hills. Order an espresso bevie and choose from more than 40 freshly baked flavors.

Making a decision won’t be easy with options like lemon poppy, green apple fritter, pumpkin, and Vermont maple — especially because they use real fruit and fine chocolate in their fillings and glazes.

If it’s impossible to pick, pack a few inside one of the Tiffany-blue to-go boxes, which are easy to stash bedside in case you need a midnight snack.

After all, some rules are meant to be broken.

Frittelli’s Doughnuts & Coffee, 350 North Canon Drive, suite 6, between Brighton and Dayton Ways, Beverly Hills (310-276-1408).
