De La Soul’s ‘Oodles of O’s goes down in the Big Apple Friday
It’s going to be an experience to remember. De La Soul’s one-day outing officially happens in Lower Manhattan with an ode to donuts going down.
Iconic hip-hop group De La Soul offers a new immersive experience in New York City with their first-ever culinary venture, "Oodles of O's" donut pop-up shop, taking place for one-day-only at Cafe Joah in the East Village on July 26, 2024, from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
De La Soul's "Oodles of O's" pop-up is more than just a treat for the taste buds; it's a multisensory celebration of hip-hop culture. Visitors can indulge in one-of-a-kind donuts while immersing themselves in an environment that seamlessly blends music, art, and flavor.
The New York pop-up will feature four exclusive flavors with handmade artisanal donuts from Dough Donuts, each inspired by the group's legacy:
1. The Twizzness: A strawberry glazed donut topped with strawberry licorice candy.

3. The Bear Cinnamon: A cinnamon bun donut with almond paste and cinnamon filling, topped with vanilla glaze and crushed almonds.
4. The O: A classic glazed donut flavored with pure vanilla extract and a touch of salt.
Adding to the significance of the event, Cafe Joah serves as the filming location for the "Oodles of O's" music video – ideated by the late David Jolicoeur (Trugoy the Dove) before his untimely passing. Remaining members Kelvin Mercer (Posdnous) and Vincent Mason (Maseo) will be on-site, honoring their bandmate's vision and connecting with fans.
Attendees can explore and purchase exclusive merchandise including t-shirts, collectibles, and limited-edition vinyl bundles, making this a must-visit event for both hip-hop enthusiasts and foodies alike.
