Customer Reviews

the donuts are really good, and the breakfast sandwiches are delicious. however, very expensive. I came in this morning and bought a sausage egg and cheese crossiant and 1 cinnamon twist and it was $12. Its good but i dont know if its $12 good.

I came in this morning and ordered a half dozen; 2 bear claws, 1 sugar, 1 glazed, 1 cream & 1 raspberry filled. The total for this 1/2 dozen came to $16.72. The donuts tasted great and the bear claws were decent sized, but the prices are a bit expensive. There's another donut shop around the corner where I can get a dozen for $20.00. I guess its good to try different places though.

Well I went there this morning 07/12/23 I ordered a bagel since they already had their croissants and bagels pre-made-![.. they just didn't look good? so I ended up purchasing a plane bagel with bacon egg and cream cheese Once I got into my vehicle n open my bag ... the bagel was warm but the bacon and egg were cold it tasted like it was made yesterday?...?? the whole point was I wanted a freshly made egg with at least some decent bacon ... not what I got.. I will never return back to this place again flys

Can I give it 6 stars? Loved the Donuts. It's soo light and tasteful. It's like take a bite into a cloud. Even if you buy them in the morning heat up to eat the next day. Went the first time yesterday and devoured 5 donuts during the day with my wife. The next day I had to go again to buy 7 more. I'm switching from a cake for my birthday to a bunch of donuts this year.

1st time here and I felt kinda rushed. Prices high. I was asked like 5 times what type of cappuccino I want. That's after asking if they had espresso shots, witch not. When going to pay for my Cappuccino. Last minute told about a 1$ debit charge. I asked why isn't that information posted. A worker played stupid like ( o, it's not posted and looked around).

So why did he tell me the total was 4.15 but he charged my debit card $5 ? No warning just an .85 cent fee? No notice of total to be charged or absurd random .85 fee. Donuts were just okay but the sucharge makes me want to just vomit.

The owners are very friendly and accommodating. My favorite is their breakfast sandwich: crossiant, sausage, cheese, and egg. Alot of locals stop by and are warmly welcomed. Stop by donut design!

Yes it's TRUE! These donuts are real good soft and moist the perfect not to much icing just enough butter they did that need to keep it up!

The old lady and man always gives the old donuts away first the front. Ones by the hlass look good but she gives u a old one in the bk i asked for fresh one she was mad and i felt verry rushed and costomer service is crap.the donut holes are ok
