Get ready to get your dose of sweetness in Lakewood: The Doughnut Club opens this weekend at 7281 West Alaska Drive in the Belmar shopping complex. Owned by Ondrea and Marquez Fernandez, founders of the Dough Bar, an online company that sells protein-packed baked goods, the new shop will offer an array of huge, indulgent doughnuts as well as the healthier snacks that landed the husband-and-wife team on TV.
Ondrea says she and her husband created the protein doughnut because we wanted to enjoy the sweet treats we loved but didn t feel we could eat every single day. She notes that the couple taught themselves how to make doughnuts in her 600-square-foot kitchen in Silicon Valley. We felt it would be unique and fun to create a doughnut baked, not fried with added protein, and it was an amazing way to start the day for us.
