Knowing the way to my heart, hubby surprised me with half a dozen Jelly Moderns. I quite enjoyed them, though I agree the yeast base is nothing special. The jelly one was nice simply because it used good raspberry jam (with seeds). The more elaborate ones were fun. We especially enjoyed those with the peanut butter filling. The chocolate glazes, now that I think about it, didn't stand out much flavour-wise.
So far J'Adore stands out, the base seemed richer/better, although hard to tell for sure because theirs were so much about the amazing custards. I don't know if Modern does any custard fillings. One comment about MJ, and I don't know how early in the day DH bought the donuts, plus it was a rainy humid day, but the pretzel and popcorn toppings just weren't crispy and fresh. Better idea in theory than practice if the donuts aren't going to be eaten quickly, I suspect.
