I too went to eat my first Cronut. All they had left was coconut creme filling and guava filling, so I bought them up. One of the cooks rang me up, and was very knowledgeable and pleasant as we spoke about the finer points of Cronut science.\n\nSo I guess it would make more sense to grade the components separately...\n\nCronut -- A: This was my cheat day, so what feels to be a 3000 calorie bomb tastes every bit as good as a 3000 bomb should. Heavy, dense, and delicious. Crunchy on the outside and chewy inside. The texture and for the most part flavor was like nothing I had experienced before. The two days it takes to make them is worth it, nice job guys.\n\nFilling -- D-: Real problems here. First off, the flavor is nice, but very subtle. I could only taste the coconut and guava when I had it on its own, and it was faint. You just cannot put something with subtle hints of flavor on a full-flavor bomb like a Cronut. You'll never taste it. Second, the texture. Both fillings had a runny, snotty texture that made an absolute mess all over the place. Whether you eat it like a Big Mac, or you take it apart piece by piece and eat it that way, you can't escape it going all over the place. Since it doesn't really taste like much anyway, I took a knife, scraped it off, and STILL managed to get it all over the plate and my fingers. Magic stuff I tell ya. For something so delicious, the experience as a whole really suffers because of this. Such an easy fix, I hope they can figure it out.\n\nI'd definitely be willing to go back in a few months on another cheat day to try a different flavor and see if that makes a difference.
