Customer Reviews

We were there this weekend to visit my daughter in gothensburg. I?m super picky on doughnuts but so glad I stopped. We had great service. I asked if they had cream filled doughnuts and the lady added cream to the middle. Their cream filled doughnuts were so good! Perfect whipped style cream and doughnut was feather like soft! I highly recommend them!

We went here on a Saturday afternoon for brunch. We had eggs bacon and toast. Yummy!! The coffee is locally roasted outside of Lexington. The service was great. The owner gave us the leftover donuts she had before closing on the house. We will come back for sure when we visit Gothenburg.

I was excited to try this new place! The food is great. Jill and her staff are so friendly and welcoming. Their coffee isn?t burnt, and is self-serve! I really enjoyed my breakfast here and their donuts are the best I?ve had! I wish nothing but prosperity to the owners and staff. The food was prepared exactly how I like it, and the bacon was perfect. I would eat here again. I also really love the new layout of the cafe. Thank you Jill!

Very unwelcoming and told me, they only accepted cash when they clearly accepted card as well. When I pointed at the machine for the card, he said Oh i forgot. Then proceeded to tell me it?s to go only when clearly there are people sitting and drinking coffee inside. I don?t know very weird vibes for getting coffee. Super disrespectful.

Went in to get coffee! The teenager behind the counter did not even acknowledge me! She was moving like a turtle in slower than slow mode! Bad idea to go here! Tried this place for breakfast the other day and it took 20 minutes to get biscuits and gravy and it was horrible! Microwave crap is what you will get! Bad idea to try this place a second time and it will not get a third chance!

Charming cafe with great food, creative use of china and glassware. This gives this a warmth of friendship.

We had a pasta bake with side salad/soup. It was so good, the homemade bread was the star of the dish.

Small town America , friendly atmosphere its a donut shop but has a small breakfast menu and the omelets are great .

She didn't serve iced coffee, but she worked with me to send me away happy with a chocolate donut.

Had the breakfast burrito, and it was delicious! If I'm ever back in town I'll be back.

Breakfast sandwiches are the best. Donuts are amazing. You won't be disappointed.
