Customer Reviews

Great donuts and kind employees. When I go here, it's usually at 5am right when they open and I pick up a dozen donuts, some muffins, and often a ham and cheese croissant. The donuts are always fresh and still coming out, and the croissants are fresh and hot. Their old fashion glaze, old fashion maple, and powdered cake donuts are my favorites ??. Also really like the fat free bran muffin??!

Great donuts and drinks. Friendly service and fair prices. The kids really enjoy this location

There was one person ahead of me who ordered one dozen and then two dozen while one person helped. However, the reason they?re getting one star is because two or three people sat in the back while stood around for about seven or eight minutes waiting while someone picked out two dozen donuts. It?s clearly customer service is not high on their list which is why they?re getting one star

I came to visit and saw how good all of the bagels looked and all their variety of options for breakfast sandwiches; the only thing is I was unimpressed when I got my ham, bacon and cheese, it was fairly cold and the cheese was not even heated .. maybe it's my style of eating it but I was not impressed with it, I will have to go back and try something else but overall didn't think it was too great I'm sure other things are better, like the donuts.

What a diamond in the rough, great service at very reasonable prices. They have delicious bagel sandwiches and an assortment of donuts. We love the bear claw donut ?? This is our go to place for a quick yummy breakfast. It's mostly take out, there's a couple of small tables outside but no tables inside. Highly recommend!

I like to bring home donuts on the weekend. Everybody in our family likes the donuts we get from Wendi's Donuts. This place is close to my house and that makes it fast and easy. They have a good selection of donuts and if you go early you can get them when they are still warm from making them. I like the French Crulles.

Best donuts around for sure. Vietnamese Coffee is by far better than any other shop around, even slones in GG or WM.

Delicious and fresh bagel sandwiches and donuts at a very good price. Friendly staff.

The most unbelievable muffins and so many different kinds too. I just stumbled on this place today and planning to go back tomorrow. They have cream cheese muffin and cream cheese croissant ! Everything is made onsite and so delicious!

This morning two female cashiers were assisted me one was in training the trainer totally messed up my order, open faced, Everything bagel avocado sausage (cream cheese!) Forgot the cream cheese. No big deal! then overcharged me because she thought I ordered an extra bagel on the side, again. no big deal! Until she started raising her voice. Making a scene and acting as though. I somehow was trying to cheat her? With her Super thick accent, that was Super difficult to understand? here's a little piece of

Their donuts are amazing. The bagels; however, are frustrating as they barely give you any cream cheese. I originally got a normal bagel w/ cream cheese and found this out. Then the next time I went I asked for double cream cheese... guess what? It?s the same amount. Then this past Friday I asked for triple cream cheese and it?s the same as the regular! I?ll pay extra dude just give me what I ask for.

Went here for the first time today to get doughnuts for my daughters birthday and she gave my daughter a special doughnut for her birthday! Such great customer service and awesome smiles and friendly attitude so early in the morning 100% recommend coming here!

Have delectable choices of Donuts, bagels and fill in sandwiches options, coffee, milk, cocoa and cold drinks choices as well!

I came this morning. I was the only one into store so I stand next to the bagels since I?m going to get bagels and only one lady was served then 2 persons coming to store. The woman who is supposed to be the manager Serve those people and ignoring me when I told her that I was first she just told me get in line with attitude and rude She needs a lot customer service skills,

This place is a gem. You can't beat the great prices either! I love their bagels and the donuts are fantastic too. Tons of types to choose from either way and everything is very fresh. There is not much seating inside but there are a couple tables outside. Perfect breakfast spot!

The best non fat bran muffins and fresh donuts. The staff is extremely friendly.

Mixed feelings here. The counter people do come off as rude. Very flat and no warmth, culture thing?? Often it seems slow and I'm asked to wait in line for a simple single donut purchase. Then, the coffee prices are weird. Three levels of quality? Confusing coffee pricing; drip common, flavored, then premium flavored I think. Basics do get done, reasonable price and quality for donuts.

These are hands down some of the best donuts you will find. Well worth a detour. Only problem: after having some of their donuts there is no way back. They are that good. Sounds exaggerated? Just go there and you will understand. If you want extra warm, just made donuts, come early in the morning. Their warm, freshly made apple fritters are from another planet.

Donuts and muffins were pretty standard. Nothing amazing, bit not terrible. The cream cheese muffin is pretty lack luster. It could use some topping or mixins. Old fashioned donuts were fine. The chocolate frosting is really tasty, but also very sugary. It helps to have a beverage to wash it down. They are pretty busy and the cash register is in the back. It creates a tight bottleneck of people. We will probably come again because it's close to home, but we'll try some other places too.

the service was the best ive seen and the donuts were just as good!

I stopped by around 5:09 am and I got the most wonderful donuts I have EVER eaten! They were very soft and warm, I absolutely loved them!

Everything here is exceptional: donuts, bagels, and especially the egg bagel sandwiches

Great service and really HELPFUL and friendly staff.

I've only tried this once, but it already hit the five star mark on first impression. I'll be reviewing it again this weekend with an updated rating. Have a good feeling about this one

For the most part this place is great. Delicious smoothies, bagels, and of course donuts! However a friend had a bad experience once where they never made her smoothie and wouldn't pay her back

I forgot how many times I have bought donuts or bagel sandwich from this store. Very friendly staff and great quality food. Must visit local place for me.

The only downside is that they are so good, everyone has caught on to what used to be me little secret. I stop by for Ham and Cheese croissants. But whatever my daughter gets is delicious too.

These are the BEST donuts around! So many awesome choices, but the Apple fritter stands tall above all others (IMHO).

They are very kind and the donuts are amazing!

Solid choice for donuts and their bagel sandwiches are great (really loved the veggie sandwich)

Best donuts ive had (ive had alot)

Best donuts on the planet. Got a bagel once that was phenomenal too. Can?t miss

I've been very disappointed in the quality of the donuts here the last few times I've been. The donuts are kind of flavorless, seem undercooked, and are mushy. Real letdown!!

Friendly service, great variety, conveniently located 3 stores down from a Starbucks if you prefer them for your coffee/tea products.

Staff is very friendly, the donuts and bagels couldn?t be better, great for a quick breakfast.

there was a bee in the bagel and donut display. at 11am, they were basically all out of bagels and only had weird flavors.

Great bagels, donuts and croissants! Friendly efficient service. Love Wendi's!

Everything here is really good. You have to try their cinnamon twist, chocolate glazed donut.

The menu and food here is excellent! It's typically crowded, though, so seating can be difficult.
