Customer Reviews

This is a pretty standard donut shop, with pretty much every kind of donut you'd expect, plus a few delux varieties. The staff are quite polite. If you can get here just after opening in the wee hours of the morning, the fritters are especially fresh, but it's hard to predict exactly when they will open. If I'm on my way to work, then I need a backup plan for breakfast.

Great people who run this shop. The ice coffee is full of flavor and strong. Not too sweet. They have an assortment of breakfast and lunch sandwiches. They are good people who run a nice local business.

I was surprised @ #6= really good breakfast sandwich and great mango boba

Pretty good donut place with great service and prices. Would come for a quick bite. The donuts are pretty good as you'd expect from a donut place. The Thai tea was really good, well balanced. Boba was a little sweet but I am not complaining. Prices are more than reasonable, specially with inflation. The Place is really clean. Nothing to complain about.

First thing I noticed was how clean it is. Second thing was how nice everybody is. Last, but not least the donuts and the breakfast sandwich were delicious!

Shop is now under new ownership. Really hurt and sad that Sophie had to leave. She was very nice and personable. Place was always clean and tidy. Hope the new owners are as warm as Sophie was.

They make the best apple fritters around. It's a small shop, so they're bound to run out of items later in the day. Always service with a smile!

The Owners of this Donut Shop are kind people and deserves some recognition. I?m sure they work so hard because the results are shown within the Donuts. Soft, chewy deliciousness.

Big servings, sandwiches and smoothies taste so good, cheap prices and excellent service
