Sandy's is my favorite donut shop in Grand Rapids. I've never dined in (much respect to the group…read moreof old-timers always holding court over coffee that I see every time I'm in there), but I've picked up dozens and dozens of donuts over the years. Service is routinely exemplary and I'm in and out fast no matter how long the line is. They always have an enticing variety of pastries to choose from, from the traditional cake ring donuts, to fritters, to eclairs/longjohns, to seasonal varieties like pączki or king/queen cakes. They also have other treats like cookies, scones, pies, cakes, and breads (and they offer sandwiches made on their house-made breads). My favorite is the "cannonball" (a deep-fried round donut with custard and chocolate frosting) but I wouldn't say no to anything on the shelves. Like all bakeries - make sure you get there early for the best selection because they move quick (which is perhaps the best compliment you can pay a bakery).

They are fresh, delightful, and little mini donuts that are freshly iced and/or decorated upon your order! Being mini size I would imagine you can eat three of these to equal one donut, right? Good thing they are only open till 1 PM daily. Because we might stop there for breakfast, lunch, dinner, & an anytime snack, if not. Looking over their website, I see they do custom orders and cater events The little shop is clean and the workers are very friendly. Which is icing on the donut!

First time trying this truck out:)…read more We went to Studio Park and watched a movie and could smell the delicious donuts from where we were sitting. After reading the menu, I had to try the Ever Smore. Absolutely loved the Golden Grahams on top with a rich chocolate icing and the toasted marshmallows made all the difference. We finished this is less than five minutes it was so good we wanted to get another but held back. Recommend this place for a great sweet treat! The people running it were super kind and friendly!

I stumbled upon a long line for some donuts at the Fulton Street Farmers Market recently. It turns…read moreout, the line was there for good reason. I stood in the line and ordered a Boston cream donut and a cookies and cream donut for my boyfriend and me. We went out to the bus stop outside the Farmers Market and dug into the sweet treats. These donuts are 100% vegan and absolutely delicious! I don't think I've had a vegan donut before, but these were some of the better yeast donuts I've had in awhile, or ever. The donuts were fluffy and soft, with just enough sweetness in the frosting and cream filling of the Boston cream. The cookies and cream frosting was delicious! They were $4 and $3 each, so obviously not the cheapest donuts in the world but for me, it was definitely worth it. I loved them so much I got back in line to buy two more to give to a friend for her birthday. I'm looking forward to getting another Donut Garden donut soon!

YUM. This was my first mochinut experience and I wasn't sure what to expect. They were super good,…read morebut not exactly what I thought I'd be experiencing. These donuts were soooooo chewy and delicious and the flavors are expansive. I was going to order 2, but the box fits 3, and he talked me into it. I asked for a recommendation on the most popular flavor, but all of them looked so good, and the three that I chose were delicious. Hail to the double chocolate one!! I cannot wait to go back and try more flavors. The business was clean and bright, but there were only two other people inside. There is plenty of room for quite a few people to sit. I didn't opt to get any other food or drink, but the items that the people ahead of me ordered looked delicious. The service was over-the-top good. The guy was very helpful and friendly (and patient with my poor decision-making skills). He also tried talking me into other items, but I didn't have the room. I'm sure I will find time to go back for a corn dog, ramen, or boba. They also have a section where they sell snacks and packaged food.

I've been consistently impressed with Rise in my five years here in GR. I have not been dedicated…read moreto anything like vegetarian or vegan exclusively, but I was raised with a whole lot of alternative food options and what's so amazing how absolutely yummy everything they have on their menu truly is with less of the bad-for-you stuff. Sure it's a little pricey, but you're going to pay more for premium crafted fare. They also have an awesome little patio hidden in the back, which is just delightful on the nice days that we have in the spring and summer and fall in Grand Rapids. They're very convenient to the Zoo so you can include them in making a day out of your excursion on West Fulton. The coffee beverages are top-notch and the baked goods are right there with them. Rise is a highlight of the John Ball hood. Now, this might not be the place for thin-skinned MAGA b*tch-boys with fragile egos and issues -ahem- compensating... but for grownups with regular-sized brains (and other parts) who love an amazing local shop with values that are shared by the city and neighborhood around it? Spot-on. More places like this, and few like union-busting Starbucks, etc. Three cheers, and five stars!
