I decided to check out The Salty Donut since I drive by it almost every day, and I'm glad I did…read more The overall vibe is great, super clean and inviting inside. They offer a wide variety of unique donuts that all looked really tempting. The prices are a bit on the higher side, even for specialty donuts, but the quality definitely shows. I tried the cinnamon crunch donut, and it was excellent, perfectly flavored, super moist and soft with a slight cakey texture. You can tell everything is made fresh. I'll definitely be back to try some of their drinks next time.

I stopped in on a Saturday during the Vintage Flea Market that was being hosted in the parking lot…read more After perusing the booths outside, I decided to stop in and check out the place. It's a clean, minimalist space that is well lit with natural lighting and seems to be a chill place to sit and do work. When I came around 1-2 PM, they seemed to still have a good number of their donuts still in stock. (Their sign on the door notes they are open per their hours, unless they sell out of everything sooner.) My dad ordered a coffee to go and I ordered a matcha latte without sweetener and almond milk, plus a honey and sea salt cragel to go. Service was quick. Matcha latte was good. I liked the cragel - it had a good texture and wasn't too sweet. My dad wasn't super fond of his coffee, but it was okay. (He said it wasn't the worst, but it wasn't the best coffee he's ever had.) If there isn't an event going on, they have their own parking lot. Otherwise, you are allowed to park in the school lot if school is not in session. (Or street parking if you can find some.)

We sat right next to the kitchen and could see all the yummy food coming out to the tables. I ordered the Prime Brisket Smashburger and it totally hit the spot! Especially with those golden fried potato bits on the side. On the way out we had to stop by the donut bar. The donuts are made fresh and loaded with toppings. I got the Sm'Oreo and he got the Bacon Blast. Both were incredible!

5 Star update for one of my new favorite brunch spots! (Get the brisket-stacked pancakes ASAP)…read more I love S&D for lunch, but recently got to try out their brunch on a Saturday morning with some girlfriends and it was FABULOUS. First off, note that they have added a vinyl DJ area (so fun!) and now offer table service (perfect for ordering more brunch cocktails!). My favorite brunch dishes I got to try were the brisket-stacked pancakes and the brisket egg & cheese sandwich. The pancakes are made with donut batter and have a hint of citrus. I was offered regular maple syrup or a bourbon version and obviously went with the latter. The brisket was perfection and made this dish the best representation of salty-sweet decadence. I can't imagine ordering anything else for brunch now that I've tried this... And yet, I got to try my friend's brisket egg & cheese sandwich and holy cow the caramelized onions took it to another level. if you're looking for something featuring eggs for breakfast- this is a must. In terms of drinks, I liked their peach spritz. It wasn't too sweet and it was a hearty pour! And even better- they made me a great cortado, so don't forget to get a well-made espresso drink while you're there. Previous lunch review: 5 Stars because I am OBSESSED with this family-owned barbeque spot (their food, staff, bar program, etc!)! My sisters had been raving about Smoke & Donuts for a while now because it's super family-friendly and they go with their group of friends (and their kids) often. They talked up the food, of course, but it is the staff that really sells them. It's family-owned and everyone there is an absolute joy whenever I've been. They offer everyone free little donut holes with their orders and they remember you like you're part of the family. I've enjoyed the brisket (WOW) and the pulled chicken- Both are standouts! Something else on the menu that totally surprised me and stayed on my mind was the mac & cheese side. It's so unusual, but I am a big fan! It's got a rich flavor and then an almost sweet aftertaste. Trust me- somehow it works and you'll want more! And for the vegetarians- they have pulled jackfruit available to satisfy their barbeque cravings. Love the inclusivity with that option. In terms of donuts, my fave is The Lou, featuring a maple-bourbon glaze, heath, Hershey's chips, and brisket burnt ends. That salty, sweet combo is unbeatable!

Traditionally, I'm a yeast donut girl, but these mochi donuts have given yeast donuts a run for…read moretheir money! They're chewy, crispy on the outside, and gluten-free! Best of all, they're not overly sweet so I can usually eat more of them. And they're great for sharing -- each individual bubble can be ripped and shared, so I love bringing these to parties. I've been a fan of Dochi since their OG East End location and am even more in love with the Colonial location since it's closer to my house. My favorite flavor is their Churro and Matcha Oreo -- literally can't get enough. The donuts are made fresh every day. Make sure to grab them early because once they're sold out, they close shop!

To see all the donuts freshly made and exquisitely lined up for your convenience is such aesthetically pleasing to look at. My sons split a sausage breakfast sandwich and I had the spam breakfast sandwich. So ono! The sweet and savory combo works here! The shop is clean and the cooks/servers are very personable and friendly to make sure you're having the best donut experience. Things to know: I personally prefer hot and fresh donuts. But I know for quality of the gourmet donuts, you're not always able to get that. But on Saturdays and Wednesday, they make malasadas which are God's sweet gift to the world. If you're able, make sure to order one. Also with these being gourmet donuts, they're going to be pricier than your Dunkin or Krispy Kreme. Know that going in. For 2 breakfast sandwiches and a dozen donuts was over $60. So just plan ahead and know in advance you're going to drop some money on some amazing, life changing donuts!

Stopped by on a Friday morning around 8:30. The place was dead- wasn't even sure it was open. A…read morefriend at work told me to check this place out, but I noticed the donut place down the street had a full parking lot and cars lined up on the street! Anyhow- we were greeted upon entry. The donuts looked super fresh and fancy. I immediately ordered the fritter- it's a favorite. Then we went with the French toast and the pumpkin spice donuts. We looked for the cereal donut that my friend recommended, but it wasn't there this time. I couldn't help but notice the fly that was hovering over the donuts as the employee gently swooshed it away a few times while we were deciding. We took our donuts to go. They were carefully packaged. The fritter was definitely the winner. The French toast and pumpkin spice were very similar- a circular donut with icing and a dollop of flavored goop in the donut hole. Meh. I would not order either of those again. Fancy donuts but not special enough for me to frequent this place. The fly was a real downer. Maybe have the donuts in a covered case.

Every weekend when we came up to do work we had to stop in and get a dozen and it definitely was the right way to start the weekends! They have so many options for all types of donuts, they are all good, but for me you can't go wrong with a classic Boston crème! I will say the maple bacon was a little odd for my taste. The employees are always so helpful in picking the assortment we want, while there is almost always a line (because they are so delish!) they work through it quickly and you're never waiting to long! The place is small and a little dated, but that's alright, I don't need much from my local donut shop! It's cute, and does the job of getting out those tasty treats!

I'm on the search for the Taiwanese style cake with fruit and cream. Bakery 1908 comes close to it…read more It was pretty easy to order, choose a style online and call to place the order. Just give the cashier the reference number for the style and you can customize a few different aspects to it. I believe it was about $50 for the cake but it was a fairly large cake and it comes with complimentary plates, candles, and utensils. No cake knife included. Everyone at my party loved the cake. It was beautiful too.

This did not seem like an isolated accident -- it made me seriously question the cleanliness and food safety practices here. I took several photos of the incident because it was honestly shocking.

I hope management takes this seriously, addresses any possible infestation issues immediately, and improves sanitation before serving more customers.

Pricing: Ranges but very affordable low cost items for single slices or portions to slightly pricier full pies or cakes etc. Food: Delicious, seasonal flavors and consistent classics keep you coming back for more. My family and I visited Orlando and loved it so much we came back multiple times during our stay. Service & Ambiance: Friendly is an understatement. My family were regulars apparently enough to the point the staff waved them in with a cheery wave hello. The shop is such a hole-in-the wall with simple and bright decorations, that have you feeling like you're visiting someone's home.

I Choo Choo Choose one or the other, but not Both. The platter with brisket and pork belly was good. The brisket was legit good brisket, but the pork belly was a bit tough and overdone.

We let him know it was our first time here and he gave us two menus and let us know after each meal you get a free fresh glazed donut. Already off to a great start! After 11 AM they serve their full menu plus a brunch menu on weekends only. They have a robust BBQ menu from platters to sandwiches and everything done in-house including their sauces. Plus, you can order house baked donuts and even build your own with toppings of your choice. It's very casual, and they have a pretty stocked bar and serve espresso drinks. After we ordered at the counter, took our number and sat down, we were given a pork rind to nosh while we sat. Now, I don't care for them, but other diners seem to enjoy and it was a nice and amuse-bouche ;) I'm a sucker for brunch so I ordered the Smoked Turkey Breast, egg and cheese sandwich with runny yolk. It was PHENOMENAL! For only $12 (in today's inflated economy) I was presented with a soft, large potato bun housing tender, perfectly seasoned turkey carved - not deli-style and sliced - thick and juicy steak-cut style. Melted on top was a thick Gouda cheese slice, a perfectly cooked "runny" egg topped with fresh cranberry sauce. I can't say enough about my meal, the presentation and service! They are very intentional to let you know you do NOT bus your own table, they take care of everything even though you order at a counter. The after meal treat of a glazed donut was not only tasty and fresh, but a nice and unique touch and ending to a fantastic lunch. They just started a rewards program for birthdays and texts for specials. I will definitely be going back!

Everyone always gets their samples and the right order. I always make a stop here whenever I'm downtown.
