Definitely a spot you want to hang out and snap pics in. Now the donuts... SO good. The hot mini donuts were fresh, soft, and covered in powdered sugar perfection . The loaded funnel cake with cookies, chocolate drizzle, and powdered sugar was over-the-top in the best way -- sweet, crunchy, and totally worth it . Everything tasted fresh and made with care, and the presentation alone had me excited before the first bite. If you're craving something sweet and fun, this is definitely a must-stop spot! Catch them at Soda City or storefronts in Cola.

BIG donuts in the case of the available flavors. It was bright, cheerful, and smelling like a donut heaven! There's plenty of seating, tons of cute photo ops, and their décor made the whole space feel welcoming. We went with the Split Decisions minis (half Butter Pecan, half Snickers) and grabbed two lemonades--Passion Peach and Tropical Island. The donuts were beyond good: hot, fluffy, and packed with flavor. The lemonades were delicious on their own, but mixing the two flavors together was pure perfection. Parking was easy and right out front, which is always a plus! Three happy customers were left with cravings satisfied and smiling--we'll definitely be back!

The ice cream was super creamy, and the cookie was warm, heat-pressed, and delicious. This place completely exceeded my expectations.

Nestled in a set of historic homes on a quiet street (with free street parking!), the restaurant itself is so adorable and creates such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff is so kind and personable, you always feel like you're being fed at your grandma's house when you go in! I truly believe there is not a single dish from them that is nothing short of phenomenal. Today we had their specials consisting of shrimp and grits, chicken skin & hot sauce deviled eggs, along with a cup of the cauliflower parm soup. We also got their hot honey pimento cheese but they have that every day! Everything was amazing of course, and I find it so impressive how the chef & team is able to come up with such unique and delicious dishes every single week. Don't even get me started on their desserts. Everything they bake is delicious, but they've recently revamped their mocha tiramisu creme pie and I'm unhealthily addicted to it. I've had it on 3 separate occasions in the last week and every time I have gone, I have to order more than one! I really really hope they keep that creme pie in the rotation for a while or at least bring it back soon once it's done, because I don't think I'll be able to recover otherwise.
