When I get that late night sweet tooth craving, there aren't many places that cannot only satisfy, but are even open to do so. With Donut King being open 24/7, they've NEVER let me down when 'called' upon. Which goes to say, Hubs & I are frequent customers of the late night variety. And with us being in our mid-40s, that means after dark but still before 9pm. LOL But hey, I'm sure the consistency we've experienced means we'd likely get the same tasty goodness & friendly service at ANY time of day--at least that's what I'd like to think. Sometimes, we may stop in for a late afternoon treat if in the area shopping or whatnot. So yeah, they consistently good.
Some days the case variety may be a little more....sparse, but still enough selection to feel like they don't have something worthwhile. Most times, the case is pretty full, containing the usual classics and a few not so classics. But don't come here looking for that specialty, high-end, bougie-style donut. No no! This is your standard, run-of-the-mill, good ol' fashioned Old Fashioned donut variety, which just so happens to be one of my favorite to get, either in chocolate or maple glaze. Apple fritters are another go-to, while a rainbow sprinkle and even a sugar or crumb donut can be found. Custard filled? Check. Donut holes, absolutely. Maple bar (another go-to of mine) is also a yummy classic served up here. But the one we got on our most recent visit, the one that spurred me actually finally writing up this review, was a BLUEBERRY filled donut. Now, I do love most anything blueberry, so full disclosure. But when hubby tells me even HE found this donut to be SUUUUPER good, that's when I know my tastebuds aren't being biased.
Before I wrap this up, let me bring it back to service. The Asians behind the counter, as I've mentioned earlier, is always friendly. Even if/when there occasionally are other patrons besides us, I've witnessed they treat people so nicely, practically as family. It makes me believe they have regulars, but maybe that's just their standard--and if that's the case, it's not a bad business model!
So I certainly hope Donut King keeps things going strong and they continue to be abundantly blessed with great customers, to be around for many years to come. Check them out if you haven't, or maybe it's been a while. I'm telling you, these donuts are DEE-liciously approved!! read more
