Customer Reviews

$19 and some change for donuts is ridiculous. I could have gone to Porto?s instead. They tasted pretty good but were rather small. Won?t be back here again.

A nice local donut and smoothie spot. Great variety and kind staff. The inside is a bit busy but clean. I got the blueberry protein smoothie and it was so good! I?d recommend to a friends

The owners are extremely nice. The donuts are not stale whatsoever even near closing time. They are very consistent as well.

Ham and cheese Croissant was solid, very good. Donuts were not fresh. Smelled like old oil. Hard and crusty outside. Saturated with oil on the inside. Dense not fluffy. Bought a dozen. Hope they make improvements.

Rarely do I select 5 stars but what can I say...this place takes the cake. I have been here about a dozen times and each time I haven't been disappointed. Food is fresh, service is great. They sell lotto and have a TV playing the local news. My favorite donut is the chocolate and vanilla glaze together!

Food was alright but not the same. They?ve changed owners so Kim is no longer there.

Good donuts. A bit pricey, but worth it in my opinion.

I love this location. Ham, egg, & cheese croissant is always my go too.

I went to this place with my friend to buy a filled donut. When I asked the lady working there if the filling contained gelatin, explaining that I avoid it as a Muslim due to its potential pork content, she repeatedly claimed not to understand my question, even when I showed her information online. Politely, I decided not to make a purchase and began to leave. In response, she angrily accused me of confusing her and demanded I leave the restaurant. It was the rudest encounter I've ever had. It felt like she

I'm giving this place two stars only because the donuts and coffee that I got we're great and very tasty. But the representative gave me donuts that were incorrect no napkins and the lid on my coffee came off as soon as I set the coffee down in my car. I was really looking forward to eating my maple bar but I got a glazed donut. I wish the kids would pay attention

If possible I would rate this place a zero. Made a late run with my husband to this donut shop an hour before their closing time and had the worse experience. A gentleman was counting money behind the counter and didn't acknowledge my husband being there. Afterward another gentleman from the back came and told my husband to "get out because its closing time". DO NOT RECCOMEND. A paying customer deserves better treatment than this.

Yes yes yes! Yeast donuts not cake donuts. The donuts were very large and very tasty. Service was timely and friendly. The serve a large variety of beverages (coffee, juice, energy drinks, boba, smoothies). Can't wait to return.

The ham and cheese croissants are fantastic and our daughter loves the donuts?

The donut and smoothie were really good! The store could use some renovations as it is a bit sketchy looking, but don?t let it deter you from the wonderful donuts. Reasonable prices too

Horrible. It's an eat-in shop with tables and chairs for guests. However, no bathroom for me after I bought a sandwich and a coffee. Also, had to walk down the street to find a bathroom. Came back to pick up the sandwich and the worker informed me she had forgotten to start the oven so the sandwich was sittin in the oven off the whole time.

nice friendly local donut place! good variety and greshly made in the morning?

I've been buying doughnuts at this shop for a while and I have to admit they taste awesome... not plastic like like other doughnut shops. Great service and very friendly.

Great donuts, fresh and fluffy. Lady who runs the place is very nice. Place has a homely feel. Prices pretty reasonable.

Admittedly the donuts are about the same as every other place in town but the nice thing is that they have cheap warm breakfast sandwiches. Only downside is that they charge a credit card fee.

Highly recommend! My go to for a brekky. Their donuts and croissant sandwiches are flavorful and the service is fast and friendly.
