Customer Reviews

Beautiful fresh donuts! Bought 2 dozen! Nicest owners. Love to support small family businesses.

Good service nice staff

I been here twice and both times the sandwiches were really good. I had a croissant bacon ham sausage egg and cheese sandwich, delicious. I also had a wheat toast bacon ham sausage Egg and cheese also delicious. I know I just changed up the bread but I'm a meat guy what can I say.

On my way to work I always stop here to get either their carrot cake or sausage wrap. The donuts and coffee are great and so are the deli sandwiches. Everything is always fresh and the sandwiches are made to order so it might take a min or two to get but well worth it.

Jalape?o ham and cheese.. Warm up please and you gotta try the churro doughnut.

I have been coming to this place for over a month now to enjoy a cup of coffee and donuts. On this particular day I ordered coffee, a donut and a turkey sandwich. I really had to use the restroom. Once I seen the workers let an Asian woman and White male behind the counter to use the restroom (mind you I am an African American woman) I politely asked if I may also use the restroom. They began to speak in their language and rufused the restroom stating someone was in there. I waited a while to see if there

By 11 am the variety of donuts are very limited... They close too early. Hours should be extended till 5 or 6 pm. Other than that, donuts are good, and prices are reasonable.
