Customer Reviews

Horrible I oreder from an online app to the E.H. location paid and was to pick up @5-6pm and when we got there the building was dark, front door locked, bk door was open and when we called out to see if anyone was there no answer, and it looked run down no electricity. We called the # on the app and it was disconnected.

I walked in the store and they were really nice. Since it was my first time in, I was given a donut to taste. I'll definitely be coming back just for the vibes

So good home made donuts, sandwiches bagels , coffee?s delicious , donuts incredible #1 place and the counter bar 50 style super cool young lady that waited on us was great

Excellent Coffee, great hospitality, and the niicest husband and wife team you will encounter. I used to be a regular there every morning before work, but I moved away and now I only stop in occasionally, but I make it a point to stop in. The owners Pete & Ms. Tina are awesome people. If the world had more people like them, it would definitely be a much better place. I highly recommend this place if you love good coffee and donuts, not to mention a great atmosphere.

Get there EARLY, is my best advice. ALSO,... KING'S NOW HAS SANDWICHES! TASTY SANDWICHES! Cheaper than...well, you know who. Fresher, too.

The food and customer service was great. We will be returning thanks Chris.

I found a hair in my donut and Complained about it and had nothing done in return. Was told it was my hair and that I should leave before they call police. Definitely not coming back. I will never recommend this place to anyone
