A cereal-covered doughnut that requires a trip to Frisco and an hour wait
The new Hurts Donut in Frisco is very popular. And by very popular, we mean wait-in-line-upward-of-an-hour popular. There is good news: They've got 80 different doughnuts and this shop never closes, so just try popping in, oh, say, around 4 a.m.

Stop by Pok on Mondays and your fancy Japanese matcha will come with a side of SoulCycle.

That's so Dallas, baby.
