Cold dry uneatable donuts! Hockey parents all complained , hockey players spit the chocolate and glazed donut out! Seriously man. If you can?t sell fresh donuts then don?t open! This is deplorable to your business and unacceptable and dangerous to the health of the players. Comments from hockey parents: 1) Yes business is hard and economy bad but think again of your practice. ( parent#2). 2) If my son get sick you are about to get sued (another parent). We talked over this over the phone and this is not a

Tried this place for the first time today. I first tried the Boston cream and the Vanilla Samoa donuts . The donuts were very good, the Boston Cream had a good amount of cream filling. I also tried the Peanut Butter Delight and that was also very good. I had an iced coffee which was also great. Place was very nice inside and clean. Counter person was very friendly. The prices of the donuts were very reasonable. I thought the donuts were going to be like $4-5 but was surprised when I saw the prices were so m

Very cozy little shop along Atwood Ave in Cranston. Its small but very nice side. They have a solid doughnut selection, but you have to get there somewhat early if you want first shot at all the good choices. For the doughnuts I tried ( fruity pebbles, mable bacon and chocolate sprinkled) they were all very good, and fresh. The only thing I could say, it?s in a weird location. But that doesn?t effect the quality of the food.

Service was great! Atmosphere was great! Hours stink. I went in there planning to get 2 different kinds of donuts. They didn?t have that much of a selection so I got 2 sprinkled doughnuts they were a colorful sprinkles and chocolate sprinkled. Doughnuts were huge. But they were heavy and dry. I did tip cause the service was great but the doughnuts are expensive for 2 donuts that were gross

Finally it happened, great to see the donut shop open and ready for selling these delicious treats. A great variety of donuts you can choose from. I ended up picking 3 donuts and can't wait to eat them. Support this Small business, great to try something new.

These are some of the best doughnuts I've ever had! The maple bacon was delicious, and the iced coffee was so good. Such great vibes. All of the staff is so lovely and friendly. Will definitely be back. 10/10 would recommend.

The BEST donuts around AND great service. A nice family owned place. My son loves it here and everyone that works there is extremely nice.

Excitement to try a new donut place quickly faded into disappointment. Old fashion are EXTREMELY DRY. I thought they were a week old, but thats not possible as they've only been open 4days. Zero taste of blueberry on the blueberry donut.??????? Raspberry filling is a store bought gel, not homemeade. Ended up throwing em in trash.??

Go to glaze n daze instead. Went here got a half dozen. The donuts themselves were so hard and like stale tasting just poorly made dough and just fried to heck, all toppings are stale, chewy cereal pieces. And it?s over priced, plus the people are kind of rude. Won?t be going back here

I was able to try this wonderful place last Friday. The donuts were fantastic. My favorite was the cookies and cream but they were all quite tasty. The coffee was smooth and delicious. Can?t wait to try them again! ????

We stopped here for some donuts on the way to church in Cranston and really enjoyed the place! It is a small shop that was quite empty when we went. It had a pretty decent selection and the one lady working there was very kind! We tried the fruity pebbles donut and the maple bacon donut. The fruity pebbles donut was the better of the two and the nuts on the top gave it nice some nice added texture. The maple bacon was good too but didn?t taste like anything all that special. The prices seemed very affordab

Absolutely fantastic doughnuts! A unique texture and rich flavors. Will happily return to try more flavors + the cinnamon rolls looked amazing too.

Fun delicious selection of donuts. Great cofffe. Excellent service. Give this place a try it's worth the visit.

I unfortunately wasn't impressed... I really wanted to be! The glazed donut was super dry. To echo another reviewer, it was as if it was days old. The chocolate glazed was semi redeeming but not enough that I'd go back.

Unbelievable just unbelievable how amazing these donuts are. try dough bros and you'll never want another Duncan donut. Such a clean and cozy place to have coffee in the am or anytime. The workers are so happy and friendly. Just a really good place. I go several times a week in fact I'm on my way right now. The blueberry is my favorite. Dane Henderson then go to dunking you don't deserve one of these fabulous donuts.........

My coworker brought in a dozen fresh from Dough Bros, and I tried out their Blueberry Crumb Cake donut. This donut was PERFECT! The cake donut was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Also, the flavor was outstanding! The topping was still a little tart, which I personally prefer, and the cake donut wasn't too sweet. 10/10 would recommend. I'll definitely be stopping by to pick up a dozen for myself. (sorry there's no photo, I just had to dig right in lol)

First time visit - ordered the vanilla Samoa, glazed chocolate, ans peanut butter cup chocolate donuts. The vanilla donut itself was light and fresh, and while the toppings looked really good, they generally lacked flavor. There should be noticeable vanilla, caramel, and coconut flavors with the Samoa, if it?s trying to mimic the Girl Scout cookie. The peanut butter cup chocolate donut was disappointing. It?s simply their chocolate donut with a sprinkling of crushed peanut butter cup. Flavor was lacking and

Had a PB&J donut that was amazing.

Oh Lord, what can I say, be ready You will want one of everything. The selection is not huge it is perfect, and everything is amazingly delicious. From the strawberry shortcake donut to the pumpkin cheesecake donut and beyond. I am in heaven, get there early to get the best selection. Donuts like nowhere else and I know this.

Ordered one of each and brought them to work. The consensus was that they are great. I personally tried the maple donut and the blueberry crumb cake. The cake donut had a nice dense cake texture with a solid crust and the yet based maple was soft with a nice salty sweet flavor.

Quaint spot on Atwood Ave. Great lil stop for good coffee and crafted doughnuts. Small batch baked with care and creativity by family owned and operated staff. Welcoming clean, quiet and stylish dining room and counter.

It was ?? yummy. We had a Boston cream donut and a strawberry lemonade donut. The Boston cream was like a little cream filled pillow of deliciousness. The strawberry lemonade one was very tasty and a good flavor for summer. Stop in and try some for yourself.

Tried out this place this morning after hearing about it. Got a Samoa and double chocolate. The cake donuts were so dry. The Samoa donut seemed to have an imbalance of donut and toppings since it was an old fashioned base and very bland and dry overall. Only ate half of the double chocolate it was so dry. Person working at the counter seemed awfully miserable as well. If we want specialty donuts in the future will take the drive to PVD or Knead.

Specialty donuts, definitely worth the visit.

Went in and bought 18 doughnuts for me and everyone at work. Asked the lady behind the counter if they had any maple bacon ones since I know everyone att my job eats them she said no and I said ok then I?ll get different flavor doughnuts, she told me to hold went in the back came back out and said she could actually make them for me it?ll be a few minutes. So I told her ok went back to get them paid 50 dollars plus just for only 18 doughnuts and gave her a tip, as I was leaving heard her tell another custom

Fantastic shop! Today I got an apple fritter and it was the best I've ever had! Chunks of apples in it and everything ?? The woman behind the counter was friendly giving me top notch service. I can't wait to come back!

Donuts were very good! Definitely among the best in the state

Great doughnut shop: Good coffee; pleasant and friendly service and delicious doughnuts! My favorite is the chocolate peanut butter! Yum!
