The friendly founders of Taman Paramount’s new Nareo Donut include a Malaysian who spent seven years working at Melbourne’s well-known Shortstop Coffee & Donuts.
He brings the spirit of Sutherland Street to PJ, pairing fresh-every-morning donuts with fresh-brewed coffee.
Nareo has its own range of raised and filled donuts, very easy to enjoy. Tender, pillowy pleasures come in at least eight flavours, with generous glazes, tempting toppings and soft, creamy fillings.
Our current favourites in order: Boston Cream, Mandarin Yuzu, Coconut Kaya, Tiramisu, Strawberry White Chocolate, Hazelnut, Cookies & Cream, and Matcha Cheesecake.
Nareo now makes up to 300 donuts daily, so be here early. Fragrant flat whites harness Curate Coffee Roasters’ beans.
Fun fact: Nareo is a portmanteau of Naarm, the traditional Aboriginal name of Melbourne, and Eora, the Aboriginal Australians of the Sydney basin (Shortstop has shops in both Victoria and New South Wales).
