Customer Reviews

Abby & Chris serve up delicious mini donuts with chocolate, peanut butter and marshmallow toppings (among others). My first time here, I ordered the Muddy Buddy donuts, and enjoyed a strawberry smoothie and S'mores donuts on my return trip (pictured here). Thank you and happy PRIDE!

awesome food, awesome drinks, awesome people :o) the owner that i met was super charismatic, chill and funny. my best friend and i got smoothies and they were genuinely the best quality i've ever had and were perfect for a hot day. will definitely come again next time i'm in the area!!

Had the coffee cake donuts...donuts were hot and fresh ...just enough of toppings and nice portion for 6 dollars. If I worked in Sandusky I would be there multiple times a week...awesome job

Best specialty doughnuts I've tried. They have different topping to put on the doughnuts. My favorite is the chocolate and crushed butterfinger topping...awesome.

Excellent Coffee and super kind owner! I was working a convention in Cleveland (where C&C was also present) and in desperate need of some good coffee, and definitely lucked out. I spoke with the owner while I waited on my espresso and frappe (highly recommended the Java Chip), and he was very kind and made great recommendations. The coffee was great and I really appreciated the warm atmosphere. Highly recommend!!

Best donuts ever!! You haven?t really lived until you?ve tried these freshly made, tasty little donuts!! The original, with powder sugar & cinnamon and sugar are simply perfection, then all the extra toppings OMG. Their smoothies are my daughter?s favorite, she actually picks them over ordering donuts? so that tells you something when a kid picks a smoothie over the best donuts ever.

kickass little place!! good food and the owners were really friendly and fun to talk to. we bought the fruit smoothies and they let us try a free sample of the donuts. perfect stop to make on a hot day (and probably on a cold one too, they have hot coffee and hot donuts as well!!!!) check them out!!!!

We visited C&C for the first time yesterday while staying out at Cedar Point. It was such a wonderful experience. The doughnuts were probably the best I have ever had, and the service was so friendly and welcoming. I wish we lived closer, this would be a regular stop for us!

They are always quick and friendly, and the donuts are delicious!

Donuts are delicious! Looking forward to trying some of the specialty ones. Smoothies are amazing! Haven't had the coffees yet but will be getting soon.

Had the chance to try these at the IX Center fall RV show and they were wonderful! Great service, made fresh as you watched. Loved it!

Killer doughnuts and I had an espresso, the owner was very nice, highly recommended. My 11 year old daughter said, let's just eat them all and say they were closed ??, the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree

Got to try out these donuts out at Cleveland Gaming Classic and they were wonderful! Highly recommend!! ????????

Terrific experience. We enjoyed the movie no donuts. They were cooked perfectly!

Super impressed with these doughnuts! The taste reminds me of funnel cake.

First time was great experience. Highly recommend this to all locals.

These donuts are AMAZING!!!!! They are a must when visiting downtown Sandusky ??

The owners are so sweet and the donuts are fantastic!!

By far best mini donuts I have ever had
