Customer Reviews

Would give a 0 if I could. Horrible customer service went to this location where I was rushed to order. Also they gave me the wrong donuts into my bag being upset and annoyed with them I just went somewhere else and received way better donuts and quality. I would never go back to this location as it's clear the quality of donuts they serve is Trash! Go to donut factory on prosperity and get your moneys worth. (Left pastry is from this location right pastry is from donut factory on prosperity) same product.

Went on for a donut and wanted to get on of those blended drink. I asked for a recommendation and she just stated they are all good. I asked her what she preferred and went with her recommendation the taro, I did not like it as it tasted like straight sugar. I asked if I could change it and she said no. And then went about her business. I still paid for my order but wish she would have been more cooperative and understanding.

First time coming here and last time, I can?t believe I got charge for the creamer for my coffee, every where else is free when you purchase a coffee. And the Chinese lady so rude. They don?t even have good donuts. The donuts they have they look ugly. Yucks

I LOVE their biscuits and gravy! And of course a maple bar. Friendly service too!

What's not to love? The owner is always very nice and she always remembers my order. Best donuts in town.

If you?re not from the area, I suggest coming VERY early. Most of the locals work early morning shift so the donuts are made fresh at 4 am every day. Usually by 11-12 most of the donuts are already eaten, and by 12:30 there are no more so they usually close early. There are a LOT of donuts to choose from if you?re there very early. If you can, I suggest coming at 5 or 6 am if possible to get the selection that the locals usually see. I?ve traveled to lots of donut shops in the U.S. and these continue to be

Great donuts good coffee. Really like their ham and cheese croissants, the biscuits and gravy are very good. The lady that owns it is a sweetheart

Cane here they had very little donuts waited in line was going to try and get 2 dizen dontus and the guy behind me ordered first and took all the donuts. Plus there are flies on the donuts! Trash place and the ladys are rude!

In my effort to support local businesses, I stopped here to buy some donuts for my class .... 30 glazed. As I was paying, I was told to call ahead and order the donuts because only a certain amount are made. My thinking is they should be happy they sold those donuts, that's 3 dozen they don't have to worry about selling. Whatever! I will go elsewhere next time.

Five Stars goes for the product and the owner. We came here on a weekday morning right around the time they opened. The case wasn't fully stocked yet but my wife was looking to buy some donuts for her co workers and the selection there was good enough for a dozen. They looked so good! Perfect fluffiness, coating, you name it! I personally didn't get to try one but my wife said her fellow partners ate them up! Even said that these donuts were the better pick opposed to the other Donuts another co worker had

Classic donuts just about anyone will like. They didn't have as wide of a variety or amount of donuts as other shops I've been to though. I got a maple bar and a ham and cheese croissant that were pretty tasty. The croissant was a decent size but it was reheated in the microwave to "toast" it.

So so soft and always fresh! Great prices! You can use your debit card but you'll need to spend a certain amount ($5 I believe). Always have doughnut holes! Cinnamon Rolls, Jelly Filled, Bear Claws as well as the other pastries are so fresh, soft, warm and filled perfectly ??????!! Top it off with a hot or cold drink! You're able to eat inside if you the time. Children Friendly! The staff is very polite and well groomed. Visible food inspection A! Definitely will be returning and recommending!! ????????????

When we visit our granddaughters here we have donut trip. We travel from Iowa and look forward to our donut time with the girls. Best donuts and best Apple Fritters. The owner remembers us and remembers what we like to eat. Great place to go.

I had only a cup of tea in early afternoon so can't comment on the baked goods. The shop was Lysol-smell clean and the front was well organized. Attendant said restroom was not working, which I suspect was just to discourage customer use - if the same excuse is repeated later visitors will know the truth.

Best donuts ive ever had no cap?. So soft and warm and ladies were friendly and helpful. I won?t go anywhere else

I went out to buy donuts for a group of people and they were fresh and delicious. The store owner was very sweet. The prices are very cheap. I will have to go back again to try the coffee.
