Customer Reviews

Just started working near this place, tried a ham and cheese with jalape?o with a coffee for breakfast. Awesome, my new breakfast spot!

What a great shop a little donut place with a big heart. Plus good coffee. ?? Love the flavor of the fresh donuts no oil tastes, just flavor Much better than the place across the parking lot. See you all there soon . Happy new year

Amazing fresh donuts and the best coffee! Starbucks (which was sadly built next to it ??) has NOTHING on these hard working peoples customer service and quality food /coffee. Please, please, please support your local vendor as opposed to conglomerate , fat-cat business trying to bully this amazing mom and pop shop. ?

This is a shop that has the best donuts within a ten mile radius. Try their glaze donuts, they r the bomb. Their sandwiches are great also. The service is top quality and are always courteous. Become a patron, you'll won't regret it.... Shirley Coopwood

The most delicious donuts and coffee in the world, which I went to 3 times during my one-week stay ?? I hope they expand into Japan ?

This place has not failed me to give me my ham and cheese croissant with large coffee. Plus I can't forget my donut holes for the dessert. It may be a little hole in the wall but still would choose this over the Starbucks coffee next to them. Just saying.

Always fully stocked with normal donuts. Of course there are fancies and apple fritters and even cream cheese croissants with fruit fillings. But this is a normal donut shop with great prices and that's why it's awesome!

Best chocolate covered donuts I've ever had. They also have thai ice tea at a reasonable price. I usually order the croissant and have them cook and egg with cheese in it. That with a large thai tea comes out to like 4.50. Dont park in the red either. I was in there less than 5 or 6 minutes and got a ticket. Just park the 20 feet away in the main parking lot, theres plenty of spots

Dounts were fresh and very tasty. Large portions and the price can't be beat! Staff was friendly and helpful.

Nice place, very helpful to handicap people will accommodate and even offer to walk to your vehicle with your purchase, highly recommend a visit and, try the ham and cheese quasont.
