Country Donuts

Hey Sugar... Oh that…read moredon't sound right coming from me. Anyhow, I recently needed a place to hangout as I had my car in the shop. I love local coffee joints so stroll by, took a look and gave it a go. Nice, little, quaint shop. Only a few seating spots, but that was fine with me since I got a spot. Of course yelp told me what to do. - Iced Shakerrado + mint - Good. Love me some mint in my coffee. - Chocolate Crossiant - I should be watching carbs, but I just had to... this was yum. Totally worth it.. mentally and emotionally. Physically I don't know. I am pretty sure I'll be coming here in the future since well, I still need regular oil changes and such... But until next time. Stay cute. Stay alive.

Mid-morning the space was very busy and we had a hard time finding a table, but eventually did. I had the Honey Cinnamon Latte, it was smooth and the cinnamon was not overpowering. It was very flavorful. My co-worker had Mexican Matcha, and enjoyed it. The had a few bakery items, each were so intriguing, but we settled for the pomegranate honey cake. It was very moist and infused with a variety of spices, complimented by pomegranate. If I was in the area again, I definitely would be back to try some of their other items.

There's some quite unusual flavors so you can come back a few times. Coming here the first time it was kind of confusing. It's located on one side of the entrance. There's a bit of a passage to get through. Has mostly gelatos. There's also a few sorbets at times. It's about $5 a scoop, but there's much more than just bowls and cones. They make milkshakes and even have hot and iced coffee including Turkish. Crepes are one of the main items. These are filled with chocolate, Nutella, or basically whatever. Also they have dip sticks, which is fruit on skewers dipped in chocolate. They also make lava cake and other big items. Got a lot of sweet stuff to both drink and eat. It's located on Douglas close to Highland. There's a lot of more unusual flavors, along with more common ones, so it has a pretty big variety.

Let me make this clear... I downloaded the app yelp simply to give country doughnuts the worst review possible. This establishment had the worst customer service I have ever received in my entire life!!! My friends and I walked in late at night craving doughnuts. One of my friends had already taken his order when I met the rudest lady in the world. She came out of the back and said "this isn't a hangout. Order or leave." The dumb old hag had the nerve to speak to PAYING CUSTOMERS like that!!! She then proceeded to threaten to call the police if we don't order. We were all going to order before she even came out of the back. We were all standing in line waiting to order!So... We left before the rest of us even had the chance to order because the customer service was so bad. That was my only experience at country doughnuts and I'm never going back again! read more

My wife and I went through the drive thru on a Saturday evening to get my wife a Caramel Latte. To our surprise, the lady just gave us black coffee! We pulled our car in the parking lot and went inside to tell the lady that there is no milk in our latte. She went on to say that you have to ask for milk. SINCE WHEN DO YOU HAVE TO ASK FOR MILK IN A LATTE??? I'm sure that she didn't even put espresso in the cup and just gave us black drip coffee. I don't know if she was a new employee or just overall clueless. Needless to say, definitely not stopping by again. We Absolutely love the crystal lake location and will continue going there. read more

Country Donuts is the best donut spot I have ever been to! Their donuts are so yummy and unique, like little bites of happiness. I love the variety they offer, from classic glazed to fancy flavors. All of their choices are worth trying and delicious. They have the best customer service I have ever experienced. The staff is super friendly and always has a smile. Every time I go, it feels like home. It's a must-visit if you're craving a delicious treat. Overall, I highly recommend Country Donuts for a tasty snack anytime! read more

Country Donuts was a disappointing visit from start to finish. The donuts didn't taste fresh and felt a bit stale, which took away from the overall experience. The selection was limited compared to what I expected, and some items didn't look very appealing. The shop itself could have been cleaner, and it didn't have a welcoming feel. Service was slow, and the interaction wasn't very friendly. Overall, not a place I'd go back to, especially with better options around. read more

I just had the best apple fritter that I've ever had in my whole life. It was crispy on the outside, fluffy and light on the inside and actually had APPLE inside! I was used to doughy, chewy fritters with few pieces of apple inside, so this was a real surprise and a treat to take a bite, find little pieces of apple in the dough and then to bite into a center filled with apple pie filling. DELISH!!! Kudos to the Bakers :-) read more
