    What a fun place! I had been driving around this area for a couple of days and kept seeing this…read moreplace and thought the name was hilarious. I thought to myself well, let's check it out and see if it's Truth and advertising. Spoiler alert, it wasn't. First thing you should know, is gross is the guy's last name that started the business. Been doing it for 47 years according to a plaque on the inside of the business. I'll tell you what, and 4700 this guy has the donut game down. First of all, this is one of the largest donut shops I've ever seen that had two separate rooms for sitting, now I don't know if they just got a restaurant that had gone out of business and turned into a donut shop or if they have that kind of volume coming in through the day. Either way it's plenty of room to sit and hang out and chat and have a couple good donuts. The counter people were nice and friendly, and explain to me the name of the shop, thankfully it was not truth and advertising. These donuts are hard and gross. These are like amazing donuts and I would have eaten a dozen of them if I did not have the self-risk paint that I possess. I had a chocolate moose filled chocolate boys donut with a chocolate milk. I'm guessing you can see that I like chocolate. This place definitely did not disappoint in that area and had some amazing, amazing ones. Thanks! So it was definitely a treat that I really enjoy trying. Bottom line? Go here and have a couple of donuts. Absolutely awesome!

    We love Gross donuts. We've been coming for years and always have a good experience. My favorite…read moredonuts are chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and not many places in Northern Idaho seemed to sell them, so I was elated when we found them at Gross. We like all the varieties we've tried, and now that we live 3.5 hours away, anytime one of us in town we buy a full dozen to take home to the family!

    I opt for a truck at moose filled chocolate covered donut with a chocolate milk. Can you tell I like chocolate?

    We stopped in here a few weeks before school since we were in the area, and it was great! We got…read morehalf a dozen. The maple bar was incredible and so was the cherry donut. All others were great, these are just the ones I got to try. I will definitely stop in again if we're ever in the area. The woman who helped us was so patient and helpful as well, I really appreciated her for engaging with us and assisting with my questions. There was lots of seating, it was easy to access and park at, we had no trouble at 7:30am.

    I stopped by on a Saturday morning after hearing so much about Donut Parade, and honestly, I left a…read morebit underwhelmed. The dining room was almost empty when I walked in, and no one greeted me. They were playing some Kanye west music behind the counter so I thought there'd be some livelihood but... there wasn't. One of the younger employees who took my order was fine but you could tell he didn't want to be there and the person at the register seemed like they didn't really want to be there either. They weren't outright rude, but the interaction definitely wasn't welcoming and both of them mumbled and spoke so low, I had to ask them both multiple times what they were saying. I ordered two donuts and a cup of coffee, which came to $7.35. For what was a Keurig coffee with basic shelf-stable creamer, it felt overpriced. On the positive side, the donuts were good. You can tell they're handmade, and they had a nice taste. They were definitely the highlight of the visit. Maybe my expectations were too high because of all the recommendations I'd heard, but I expected a Saturday morning at such a well-known donut shop to have more energy and atmosphere. Instead, it felt surprisingly underwhelming and lacked the welcoming vibe I was hoping for. Overall, the donuts were solid, but nothing about the experience made me eager to come back. I don't regret trying it, but I also don't really understand the hype.

    First time I've ever stopped here driven by it many times when I come to Spoakne and today I…read moredecided to try it out. I ordered the fruity pebble doughnut and it was pretty ace, doughnut was fresh and the icing and cereal gave it a sweetness and crunchy texture. My stomach wasn't too happy after the doughnut lol no one fault I had an empty stomach ans that much sugar didn't agree but again the doughnut tastes very good. I had another Caramel Macchiato and was pretty good, what I really liked is that it was at a drinkable temperature and was able to slam it. It wasn't overly sweet and was a really good cup. cup. If you haven't been come try it out they have various doughnuts and multiple drinks tou won't regret it.

    We are on the hunt for a good donut shop so I dropped in here to give them a try…read more Our order was 4 bismark (custard filled chocolate covered), 2 apple fritters, 2 pumpkin old fashioned, 2 blueberry old fashioned and 2 old fashioned. They include a 13th donut so I got an extra blueberry. The customer service was great, the lady behind the counter was very friendly and helpful even offering the bakers dozen. The custard filled donuts tasted like they were made in old oil and were not filled all the way. All of the old fashioned were under cooked with raw dough in the middle of the donut. The apple fritters were also under cooked in the middle, the edges were good but the middle was gross. We were told that their best baker had made the donuts which is unfortunate because they must have been having a really bad night. Would not recommend unfortunately.
