Customer Reviews

I love this place ! First. The lady behind the counter is so sweet and kind. Great service ! The food was delicious. The donuts were amazingggggg ! I scarfed mine down before taking a picture haha. We also had the. Real fast croissant sandwiches. Delicious as well ! Only weird thing is every time I?ve come In here there?s these guys that just sit here playing lotto. So the tables are always taken. But other than that this place is a great little gem !

I?d say drive a little farther to a different doughnut shop. Their doughnuts are so heavy and greasy. We?ve tried them several times thinking maybe they had a bad day or we got a bad batch but, again they are greasier than other doughnuts I?ve tried

You have to Stop by,,,, it's hard to find good donuts.... this is the place....mmmm

Best donut I?ve ever had, it?s my all time favorite and go to. Update: still never fails to make my morning

The smallest hole in the wall establishment with the smallest customer area but I cannot lie, the donuts were amazing. I brought a dozen for my coworkers and I and they were great! I got compliments for the rest of the day fe how good they were. Super cheap compared to some local competition, too!

Well I am a big fan of donuts and I've been trying out local shops and discovered this gem. First off super friendly service. I had an amazing cream filled donut . Do try it out.

Fast friendly service, fresh. Picked up an old fashioned w/chocolate frosting and a chocolate, chocolate cake w/nuts. Both were delicious. Will try the glazed next time.

I tried the strawberry cream cheese Crossan, it was delicious ??.. next time I will try the raisin roll

Really great donuts and amazing price. Would highly recommend

I love it here I am a regular I come for donuts, pastries, and lottery tickets. Mr. Lee is awesome.

A man was shot up once in 2017 in front of the store, the donuts are great though

Average place, not exactly clean. Donut is ok. I wouldn?t take anyone that I care about, inside here.
