Customer Reviews

While running errands, we stopped in this little donut shop to get something to eat. They actually have more than just donuts, breakfast sandwiches, lunch sandwiches, drinks (energy drinks also), smoothies and ice cream. We got a breakfast sandwich, lunch sandwich and three drinks and it only came to $21, which was pretty reasonable. The sandwich was made fresh and was a good size that we shared. They asked us about which condiments we wanted before making it and even cut it in half for us. We also ended up

I absolutely adored them here! The customer service was great and so are the donuts! I went to a shop before coming here and that other donut shop ran out of the kind I wanted so I thought what the heck just try another shop and they had exactly what I needed and for a 2 bucks cheaper! The woman behind the counter was so so so kind and I definitely will be back!

Best donuts, croissants, and smoothies I've ever had. And service is wonderful. The owner always makes sure the place is super clean, and always works hard and fast in providing service. I love it here. Worth it.

Some of the best tasting Donuts I've ever had, very friendly staff we definitely will be going back a lot, if I could give 10 Stars I would thank you Peter

The croissants are so good, I got the ham,cheese,jalape?o. They are so soft even after hours of being in a bag. The donuts are really good and soft.

Best donut shop I have been to. My coworkers love when I bring donuts from this shop. Sadly I don't live near by, but when I get the chance, I take a detour to work and stop by occasionally.

I would suggest the coffee any time you're stopping by, very nice owners and decent amount of donuts depending on when you get there.
