Food was not good…read more Vietnamese coffee was very generic tasting. Not Vietnamese at all, more like a sugary americano. Breakfast burrito was very bland. No salt or pepper. They place a scoop of pico in the middle. Not very pleasant to take 1 large bite of watery veggies leaving the burrito wet and soaked. The place has a nice view unfortunately that's the best part of this place with my experience. I should have read the reviews or waited for something else in the plaza to open up.

I ordered the pack of small burritos that included scrambled eggs, bacon, cheddar cheese, home fries and avocado wrapped in a flour tortilla, it came served with salsa fresca and salsa verde. Because the wedding brunch was the next day I put a note asking them to wrap it up so that it would be OK for overnight period and a very thoughtfully packaged each burrito with I think wax paper and then put all of them inside a aluminum container and so that made it very easy to re-warm. I could put them in the oven for a little bit or in the microwave without the aluminum... But there was a lot of thought. What I appreciated just as much as the food was the wonderful customer service. Due to an unexpected delay with work, I wasn't able to pick up my order at the scheduled time, but the team was incredibly kind and accommodating despite my very late arrival. I had a conversation with I think the manager who was very very kind and explained to me his process. I've been to this establishment before so I was happy to order again. At the brunch many of the girls were already familiar with this establishment but did not know that they could order catering service services, and the ones who were not familiar seemed very interested so there might be future customers down the line! It's always a pleasure to support a business that not only serves delicious food but also genuinely cares about its customers. Thank you to the entire team for helping make our celebration a success! I would happily order from here again and highly recommend them!

I never realized this donut shop was there, I always go to the store next to it, but now I have a reason to go here too. The inside was pretty no-frills and kind of dark (could have been because they were about to close). There's a small corner that looked like it was for selling SIM cards or something similar, but I didn't have any use for that so I walked straight to the donuts. All in all, I'd use the TGTG app for this store again!

My wife brought some home the other day from work too and those were JUST as good. In fact, both times, these donuts were purchased in the morning, and even after over 8 hours, they were STILL just as good. I hate to admit it, but while the donut shop down the street from me is fantastic, ST Donuts takes the cake (donut?) for first place in my book. The buttermilk donut? My god, so moist and cakey. The sprinkle donut was REALLY good too, but kinda has that deep fried donuty aftertaste if you know what I mean? Hard to describe. The TRUE winner here is the tiger tail. If you're a donut fan worth your salt, you'll know Donut Man is known for their tiger tails. Well, step aside Donut Man because ST Donut's tiger tails are better. Don't @ me. They're bigger and the inside is soft and fluffy. Just perfect in everyway possible. Better glaze, better everything. I'm just grateful for donuts, tbh.

I came late, like a couple hours before closing, but they still had a decent selection of donuts available. They all had a beautiful presentation and looked delicious, but I managed to narrow it down to a chocolate cronut and a maple bacon raised donut. The cronut was generously dipped in a deliciously decadent chocolate and was very good. The maple bacon donut base was light and fluffy, but the bacon would have complemented the flavor profile better if the grease were patted down before it was sprinkled on top. You can see from the photo that it's still quite shiny (greasy). They do have breakfast sandwiches as well as grab and go meals and snacks if you're looking for something a bit more filling or healthier than donuts. This visit was definitely better than my first one, so I'll keep Station Donuts in mind next time I'm at n the mood for a donut.

Now as an adult I still stop here when in town just to taste the sweet memories. That is exactly what my wife and I did last week. I picked out a Apple Fritter that I ate so fast, I never even got a picture lol. As always there was apples in every bite. I also had to get a cinnamon roll because they are the best. The cinnamon rolls here are coated with a good amount of glaze but it isn't overly sweet so it is good. They don't skimp on the cinnamon either. My wife had a Bear Claw (her fav here) and could only eat half so I had to do my duty and finish it. The thing melts in your hand when you even pick it up. The bear claw looks big and heavy but it is light, soft, and just plain good. The apples inside are just a bonus. Prices range from .80 cents, .85 cents, .95 cents, and $1.25 for donuts. You make your purchase at the window (no inside entry) and they clearly display all the fresh donuts they have at the moment in the window. There is some seating outside if you are lucky enough to grab a spot from one of the regulars but I have eaten most of my fair share right in my own car in the parking lot.
