    Left: Apple Fritter. Right: Banana Fritter
    Erwin K.

    Key Points: - Banana Fritters! Second place I've ever seen to have this Came here after work one day looking for a sweet treat, and I'm glad I stopped by. I originally planned to grab an apple fritter, but I was pleasantly surprised to see banana fritters on the menu too. I thought there was only one place in the area that had them so I was pleasantly surprised to see this second one. Of course I absolutely had to try it. As always, I bought both the Apple and the banana for comparison. Compared to previous banana fritters I've tried, their banana fritter has a much stronger banana flavor. It's distinct and not subtle at all. It really separates it from their Apple counterpart. The apple fritter, on the other hand, had an extra level crispiness. To me, this is the key to making a good Apple fritter. It was slightly crisper than the banana one, maybe because of the moisture from the banana batter? Or maybe differences in cooking? but both were delicious in their own ways. There was a line, but their service was quick. So it moved fast.

    What was a dozen donuts, but the kids had to have theirs right away (haha)

    Our go to spot for donuts! Always fresh, tons to choose from and always delicious. We are obsessed with their special flavors like the maple bacon, and the Dubai chocolate (limited flavor). Prices are extremely fair for the quality and kind of donuts you are getting as these are not premade donuts that the grocery stores sell. Donuts are light, fluffy and full of flavor. Service is always great, quick and super kind and ready to give any suggestions. Also highly recommend their Thai tea and Vietnamese coffee. This location is on the smaller with a few tables to sit at if you choose to stay, if you arrive in the mornings there sometimes can be a line out the door (it's because it's so good!) but the line moves quick! 10/10 will always return to this local donut stop.

    Service is great. Store looks great. I got the Smores donut ($3.50) but it's more like a light chocolate glaze plain donut. Dense/pillowy - reminiscent of an Entenmann's donut. It was good but I don't think ill get this particular one again. Next time I'm going for the maple/bacon. I already know this will be my spot for donuts. They also have mochi donuts so thats awesome.

    Excellent customer service, Very welcoming enviorment and fantastic donuts. Family buisness.

    Compared to Best Donuts, I can now confirm that Dainty Donuts is better. Their fruit-flavored glazed donuts are fantastic and they have better donut holes, too.

    Wow! We were ahead of schedule our way to kids soccer and the family decided they wanted donuts and coffee. The team at Dainty Donuts helped us right away and were very friendly. My wife is very picky about her coffee but she said it was delicious. As for the donuts. I'm not sure about Dainty, but they are fluffy and amazing! What a gem! We will be back!

    They have a large assortment of donuts which was a bit overwhelming but the person helping me was very patient. 10/10 would recommend.

My go-to is always an original glazed as it's not covered up with frills and distractions from truly tasting the dough. At first look, it wasn't overly opague aka covered in sugar glaze. It had just enough to sweet the top. It was a nice chew and sponginess that made me want to take another bite. Not too sweet. I only cut half as I wanted to try something sweeter, working my way up. I love a good raspberry jelly donut. Again, nice chew and not too sweet. Filling didn't have that artificially taste and spread evenly with each bite. I enjoyed it. DD loved the chocolate cake with cereal top. She didn't share bc it was that good to her. Hubs ate the chocolate glaze and maple bar by himself so I couldn't taste either. I guess the fam enjoyed it. Wish they had some French Cruellers as that's another favorite of mine. Before we had the sweets, we did share a croissant bacon egg cheese sandwich. Ngl, I was pleasantly surprised. Microwaved crispy bacon and melted cheese and it was a pretty tasty breakfast sandwich was for a donut shop. I'd drive across town again for more when I get another fix and donut what to eat for breakfast

The drinks themselves were excellent: the brown sugar crème brûlée with konjac jelly was rich and satisfying, and the pineapple green tea with lychee and konjac jelly was light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. Between the cute vibe, quality drinks, and genuinely kind service, this place left a great impression. A small hiccup on my end, but they turned it into a standout experience.

We arrived for an early dinner around 5 PM, full of nostalgia and high expectations...and left with very mixed feelings. We started with drinks and three appetizers to share. The pineapple spritzer was a great way to kick things off...refreshing, well-balanced, and not sweet which I appreciate. Our apps: - Crispy Shrimp and Pork Imperial Eggrolls: we re-ordered this. Tasty enough, but the portion size for the price was genuinely disappointing. You're getting a few small bites and not much else. - Shrimp and Chive Pan Fried Dumplings: The biggest letdown of the night. The dough on the bottom was thick and gummy, and the filling was completely bland.....no seasoning, no excitement. Pass. - Hoisin Barbecue Pork Ribs: The best of the three in terms of portion, but brace yourself -- these are an absolute mess to eat. I would not order these again. With mixed feelings about the food, we jumped straight to dessert, which is where the meal was redeemed. The burnt Basque cheesecake came topped with diced caramel apples and crispy strudel- one of the best desserts I've had in a long time. Overall, this visit left us a little deflated. The appetizers underdelivered for the price, and it stings a bit on a sentimental occasion. That said, I'm still curious about their entrées. I have my eye on the whole catfish or their lunchtime pho.

We got the buttercream bread, sweet rice donut, chocolate cloud cake, milk cornet, and the strawberry milk bread. For drinks we got the red velvet hot cocoa and the caramel macchiato. The buttercream bread was my absolute favorite out of the bunch. The butter cream wasn't too sweet and the bread was sooo soft. The ratio of cream to bread was just right, so each bite of bread had a sweet balance of the fluffy cream. The sweet rice donut was okay. To be, it could have been more softer, but it was expected for it to go stale a little bit since it's been out lying for a while. Some things are just unavoidable. The chocolate cloud cake was really good, but there was so much cream. Unlike the buttercream bread, there was imbalance here, but I adored the giant strawberries sandwiched between the cream. The consistency of the actual cake was perfect though, because sometimes I know it can get really soggy from the cream. Next time I would give another cake a try instead. The milk cornet was great! Tried it out because it seemed really popular; there was only one left. This pastry like a croissant stuffed with milky cream. The cornet was perfectly crunchy and the milk cream wasn't too sweet. Next time, I want to give the blueberry version a try. The strawberry milk bread impressed me. It was super soft, and I like how there was a really small amount of cream. Like, I understood what the cream was trying to do there. One bite of just bread would be pretty dry, but a little bit of cream can help smooth things out but still keep the spotlight on the bread. The red velvet hot cocoa drink was what surprised me the most. I suppose this drink is Valentines day edition, so it's not always here. I was so surprised when I opened the lid and saw hot pink foam! Like, DANG! Tous les jours really went out of their way to give us a sip of Valentines day! This drink is on the sweeter end, though. A friend said that the caramel macchiato was just okay, nothing surprising or impressive about it. I guess it was a safe order. The baristas were really efficient with our drinks; both drinks took five minutes or less! I love the interior of this bakery. So cute yet so easygoing. Perfect ambiance for catching up with some girlfriends!

How kind is that?? I got my usual fritter, a plain old fashioned for the hubby and a cinnamon sugar malasada. They threw in 3 doughnut hole complimentary! The fritter is thin, had apples and isn't bad. I actually liked that it wasn't thick which can cause it to be gummy or undercooked inside. It was slightly burnt along the edges which can happen because these guys need more fry time. It was lacking cinnamon for me but overall, not bad. Not too sweet either. Happy to come back and get some raised doughnuts to try as well. Plenty of parking in the lot so give this place a try. Please support this local business.
