Mmmmm, Vinny’s Donuts opened Thursday at the corner of Broadway and Travis Street, in the Atlee B. Ayres Building, 124 Broadway.

The goods are baked on-site: glazed, sprinkles, filled pastries (lemon, apples, strawberry, creme), something called Long Johns, cinnamon rolls, apple fritters, cake, doughnut holes, muffins (blueberry, banana nut, carrot raisin), apple turnover, chocolate chips cookies and oatmeal raisin cookies. Basic doughnuts are 89-95 cents per, and are $8.89-$9.50 per dozen. Fancier pastries are more: $1.75 apple fritter, $2.35 muffins and $2.89 apple turnovers, for example.

There are kolaches ($1.89-$2.79) and croissants ($1.25-$3.50) and biscuits (89 cents-$2.89) for breakfast — plain of filled with ham, bacon or sausage, and egg, etc.

For lunch, Vinny’s offers panini ($6.25) and sub ($5.89) sandwiches. Combos are available. Hot, caffeinated drinks and cold, smoothie-y drinks round out the menu.

No cronuts, though, which might be a good thing  screw those East Coast abominations.

Vinny’s Donunts is operated by Vinny Pharakhone of Jacksonville, Fla., who is related to the proprietors of Thai Lao Orchid restaurant, also in the Ayres building.

Hours: 6 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Saturday, 7 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday. Phone: (210) 314-1781
