Customer Reviews

Our kids (Bulldogs) kept peer pressuring us to try this place. I'm satisfied with Shipleys which is equidistant in the opposite direction so it took me a while to cave. I'm glad I did, and this is why... We drove out to Normangee to pickup our son after a sleep over. By chance, we drove by Iola Donuts on the way home, they were open and I was out of excuses to not try them. We walked in, bought donuts for the family and on our way out, the man behind the counter stopped us. He offered us a free apple frit
