So far, I have really enjoyed the Blueberry Lemon, Cookie Butter, Hibiscus with White Chocolate & the Honey Bee. The owner is so sweet & helpful! She was patient with us & explained everything for our first visit. I love that what you see in the display is what's available, as soon as they run out, it also leaves the display box! I think this makes for an easy ordering process, which is so appreciated.

If you'd like them filled, they will fill them in your flavor choice while you're there. I'd never tried Boba tea and I tried my first. Delicious. If you're not from this area, it would be worth you driving here to give them a try.

However, the lack of decor is made up for with a very friendly staff, quality donuts, and fair pricing. About those donuts.... I loved the sugar donut. Superb! I could tell the chocolate donut would be loved by most but it had some red tint in it (not sure of flavor) that isn't for me. But you will probably love it. Definitely recommended!

Very professional, and with such a focus on cleanliness. I recently got an email that stated during this quarantine, Joe is delivering ready to be warmed pizzas in our area! $10 each only, which is insane for the quality of pie you get. Joe is also a personal chef and will make dinners to be warmed for the week in your kitchen with your food, leaving instructions on how to reheat. He makes healthy dishes and works with any diet or food allergy plan. Absolutely some of the best food you'll eat!

Once I tasted that Old Fashion doughnut, I had my answer! That doughnut is the truth! The moneymaker! It was perfection! I'll be back! On top of delicious doughnuts, the place had a friendly hometown feel with people sitting at tables talking and other guest talking to the owner casually. This was a warm and welcoming environment. The price was quite affordable too! I may have a seat and come earlier next time so I will have more options to choose from although all I really need is that old fashion;)

They come 3 per order, and you can't mix and match. We ordered Very Berry Delicious and Ore Uh Oh. Very berry was fresh with yummy fruit, and Oreo was sweet with Oreos.

Highly recommend for the Celiac folks and anyone else!

Large, fluffy, incredible flavor-and such nice folks working there! The place itself is suited more for takeout but we snagged a table to snack. We got a plain glazed (delicious base, so fluffy and glaze that was perfectly applied), a pumpkin spice (not a hit you over the head spice-delicious!) and a pumpkin cream filled-omg this one. It was still a little warm! The donuts themselves were extremely light: as my husband said, pushed to the limits without collapsing. Worth the stop, get here early! Huge line by the time we left!

Last 4 times this place is not open on time, minimal selection and it's just gone downhill. In the parking lot at 6:05am and the lights are off, door shut, display empty....

They were open, plenty of donuts and were very friendly.
