The collaboration with Genghis Cohen x Coolhaus x DKs Donuts-Eis
Three of our favorite places just got together for a vacation collaboration that sounds cuter than – ok, maybe as cute – as Sufganiyah. That’s because the NYC-style Dschingis Cohen Chinese restaurant is teaming up with the ice cream titans at Coolhaus and one of the best donut shops in LA, DK’s, to create Dr. Dre (Idel) to create a limited flavor that jelly donuts make into cakes. The Hanukkah special swirls both cake and yeast donut pieces together with strawberry jam into a vanilla pod base and runs from December 10th to 20th. You can order it online from Thursday.
