Score 86/100 · Order: Rotating seasonal donut · $
Nomad treats donuts as a pastry discipline, with laminated and naturally leavened doughs and flavors that rotate constantly. Some experiments land better than others, but the base doughs are the best in the city.
Local tip: The menu changes weekly and the specials sell out before noon.
Score 85/100 · Order: Seasonal donuts, cruller · $4–8
Nomad treats donuts as pastry rather than fried dough, with laminated crullers and seasonal glazes. Selection thins out by early afternoon.
Local tip: The menu rotates weekly; the cruller is the constant worth ordering.
Score 82/100 · Order: Vegan burger · $12–14
A vegan burger that wins over meat eaters. Creative and surprisingly hearty, in a shop better known for donuts.
