Astro Doughnuts Washington DC
From the website:
At Astro, we source ingredients from some of the finest farmers and purveyors including Valrhona Chocolate, King Arthur Flour, Plugra Butter, and seasonal fruit and produce from local farmers. The key word is seasonal, which means our menus change as often as the seasons allow. […] Expect an artful and whimsical touch to Astro’s daily rotation of doughnut flavors with nostalgic flavors like peanut butter and jelly or dessert-inspired renditions like crème brulee.
Growing up, Sunday mornings were spent lounging in my parents bed, drinking coffee and eating pastries. We lived just a few doors down from an Italian bakery, and my dad would pick up something fresh for breakfast: danish, cannoli, fruit tarts. Most often, we’d have doughnuts.
To me, doughtnuts are definitely a breakfast food, no matter the time of day they are served.I stopped at Astro on my way back from the doctor’s office the other day and picked up three doughnuts: (from left to right) mint chocolate chip, cinnamon, and passion fruit.
Excellent choices, if I do say so myself. While there are vegetarian options, Astro doesn't seem to have vegan or gluten-free doughnuts.

Hello my loyal followers! I am back! Yes I'm talking to all two of you! In this post I'm going to discuss the music and food festival, Sweetlife. I went to this festival last year, but this year I went all day and think I have a better grip on it. For those of you who don't live in the DC metro area chances are you haven't heard of this. Basically it's a food and music festival put on by Sweetgreen. Every year sweetgreen gets a ton of food trucks and awesome artists to come to an outdoor music venue and it's just a really fun time. Some of the food stands and trucks this year included: Luke's Lobster, Shake Shack, Sweetgreen (of course), the Big Cheese, Astro Donuts and many many more. sooooo good. Anyway, back to music. This year the line up was a little different from the past but good none the less. It included St. Lucia, Hozier, Chromeo, 2 Chainz, Bastille, Lana del Rey, and Foster the People. *theres probably 20 more but those are the only ones I got to see* I'd say the age range was 15-27+ (but I did meet a 12year old boy named Sam from England). a wide variety of people came, in thousands, at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. Now mind you the outfits ranged from Coachella wannabes to tshirt and shorts but very cool and "hipster" But, it's not the people, the clothes, the food or the drunk teenagers you have to fight off to get front row that draws me to this event. It's the music. It's the rush you get running from stage to stage. It's being able to see your favorite bands preform live, they're real people! It's being able to discover new favorite bands and artists live. It's the festival feeling. Often times music festivals are associated with drugs and alcohol, and I'll be honest this concert does not come with a shortage or either, but as a whole I think it's pretty controlled. Parents hesitate sending their children to these things- and I do agree that there is an age where festival going is appropriate- but we as a generation should be encouraged to discover new things and new genres of music and different types of anything and I don't think there is a better place than a festival. I will post a few pictures from this year at sweetlife if you would like to see them. GO TO SWEETLIFE NEXT YEAR! LOOK FOR FESTIVALS NEAR YOU! I hope you liked this. I kinda just spewed.

I love fried chicken and I love doughnuts. So you must imagine my excitement when I discovered that right down the street from my office there was a place that specializes in serving both Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken. Astro is absolutely the “clash of two iconic comfort food classics.” This past week I headed over with a coworker and indulged in some deliciousness by ordering both the dark…
