It’s not October, but ghosts are popping up across the state. And rather than spooks and screams, they’re bringing food straight to your door.

The Post Road breakfast spot, a “ghost kitchen” offering only takeout and delivery options without seating, offers all the breakfast carbs: doughnuts, cronuts and egg sandwiches on biscuits or croissants.
Doughnuts are of both cake and yeast varieties, with traditional and creative flavors alike. Cronuts, a flaky hybrid doughnut/croissant, are available in classic vanilla and more exotic caramel and passion fruit options.
