While visting my eldest daughter at college, I was assured, by more than one student, that THE…read moreplace for breakfast in Statesbourough was Daylight Donuts. I was fairly cautioned that it was not a full serve restaurant; but, they did serve breakfast sandwitches (makes sense for college folks on the go). Being the old guy who thinks he's cool, contrary to what my kids tell me, I had check it out.
The first thing that struck me was the "take out only" sign on the door (they also have a drive through) which was fine with me; because heck, that's what breakfast sandwitches are for, right? The menu boasted of what you would expect: egg, cheese and your choice of breakfast meat ( or the combination, plus or minus, thereof) on a biscut. You have to know I went sausage, egg and cheese. Now to start, the biscut seemed more like a hamburger bun, oddly enough with the taste, and in fact, texture of a biscut. I really liked it; but, the jury is still out on what it actually was. In between were fresh whipped eggs (no runny yolk) dripping with cheese (reminiscent of melted Kraft singles) and a spicyer than average breakfast sausage. All in all, an interesting, and adequate meal for those on th go.
Simply because the place is called Daylight Donuts, I decided to ignore the fact that my current physique is that of seven month pregnant woman, and try a donut...no wait, an apple fritter. After all, I could limit my intake to a few bites, just for research purposes. One whole fritter later, I'm here to tell you that each icing covered bite was joined by a bit of real apple, prompting me to check my fitbit to see if I was anywhere near my daily step goal.
Clearly, this place is a local institution that has, in my view, earned the support it gets. The staff is fittingly cheerful and pleasant; and, the service is, appropriately, fast. My meal was less than five bucks, earning Daylight Donuts an additional star. So, skip the big name fast food joints, and grab your breakfast here.
