So glad I stumbled into this place this morning. Some of the best donuts I've had. Super soft and fluffy dough, the maple glaze on the maple bar was the perfect amount of sweetness and the strawberry on the sprinkle donut was so good. read more

If you live far away, you can buy multiple apple fritters, take them home and freeze them for later consumption. You wll be AMAZED how fresh they are thawed from frozen.

I'm gonna go ahead and give this place 5 stars. So I'm a donut-o-holic. I'm a pilot, and I try donuts everywhere. You'd think I was a cop, right? Well, pilots love donuts too. I'd given up on Arizona donuts. Everything I've tried in a year of living here has been super average at best. "But it's just a donut," you say. No. It's not. So, a great donut is a delicate balance. A great donut is pillowy-soft, but just firm enough to hold its shape. A crappy donut is really firm and sometimes stiff. A great donut MELTS in your mouth. A crappy donut has to be chewed. A great donut has dough that has a medium structure. Not too many holes, not too light, and not too dense. It HAS to be just right. Also, a great donut leaves no greasy aftertaste. It's a clean finish. A crappy donut leaves the roof of your mouth coated in a slightly greasy film. A crappy donut tastes like used oil. A great donut is dropping into a fryer where the oil is changed every few days, and the oil is high quality. Canola oil, for example, used to be a truck lubricant. So eating a donut fried in old canola oil is what you get at a hospital cafeteria or a crappy donut place. And last, a great donut has FLAVOR. It's not just sugar dough. There should be a slightly vanilla tinge in every bite. Not too much though. And it has to be good quality vanilla, not imitation vanilla. A great donut, then, is not super cheap. Gold ingredients, fresh oil, not letting them get stale, and authentic, fresh ingredients are the secrets of great donuts. It's rare you find all of those at a local donut place. Express Donuts has them all. Try them all because you won't go wrong. Glazed, maple, old fashioned...whatever. All fresh and tasty and perfectly doughy. Oh, and very fresh. There is NOTHING so offensive as a 3-day old donut. They should be outlawed. What one eats at a grocery store or Dunkin Donuts is a glob of chemicals, formed into a dough and stuffed with plastics, fake flavors, and preservatives, dropped into a vat of 15-day old industrial lubricant, then covered in glaze and left on the tray for up to 4 days or until the dude with the corporate polo shirt buys them for the office at half-price so he can impress his boss, who doesn't know the difference between a plastic lard-cake and a work of art. Express donuts... take it from me: darned good donuts. 5 stars worth. read more

I had a cream puff donut and an iced caramel latte. It's not typically what people order when they go to this establishment but I bought it because I've never seen so much cream on a donut before. The staff let me know that they only set *those* donuts out on the weekend because it's hard to keep that type of pastry cream fresh. That donut was pretty filling and cost about average, at $1.75. It definitely was not dry or stale or anything. It had glaze on it but it wasn't ridiculously sugary. I'd say it was good and breakfast, whereas some donut shops are a little more on the dessert side. To some peoples' dismay, and others' delight, I am a Starbucks fan, but I felt like supporting the local donut shop and trying their coffee. It was $4.95 for a small, which is on the expensive side. However, the flavor did not disappoint me at all. read more

We ordered the jalapeko Bomber Dip to start - it came with 3 pieces of toasted baguette and chips. This dip is delicious - nicely spiced. Our entrees were delicious as well. One friend got the biria dip- half portion with cheese curds, the other friend got holy yum burger with cheese curds. I got the thai chicken sando with sweet potato waffle fries. Chicken was suitably spiced and tender. Pickled onions were delicious paired with the carrots and sauce. Ooo n the waffle fries- crispy and delicious. It stayed crispy for very long too. Even though we couldnt eat anothet bite. - we challenged ourselves further with donuts lol And boy were we glad we did! Crispy tender lightly dusted with cinnamon and sugar. And cane with hot fudge and vanilla glaze on the side!! And to top it off, the sunset trivia!!! It was fun!! We love this! Unfortunately, since we are from out of town. Id say we will be back when we are in this area. 5 STARS!!!!

Such a cute little spot tucked into this busy plaza. I think they have a location in Peoria, too…read more I'm happy to have them so close. The staff is kind and knowledgeable. I got to try some honey samples. I asked for something not too sweet. They recommended a honey latte topped with honey cold foam. I love anything honey and anything coffee..so it was right up my alley. It was delicious and decadent. I also got a turkey panini on sourdough. It was a nice accompaniment to my coffee. I have to also comment on the seating. It's the type of seating that says "stay awhile" and it matters!! The chairs are actually comfortable and I feel like I could lounge for a few hours and catch up on a project or read a book. I will definitely be back to this buzzin' cafe.

The drinks are also super unique. We ordered matcha coconut raspberry cloud (something like that), a cinnamon honey latte, and a chocolate croissant. The drinks were just okay to be honest but the croissant was pretty good. The matcha was super light and just tasted like coconut water so I don't recommend that but the latte was decent. Coffee was strong but I didn't taste much honey or cinnamon flavor. Overall, the drinks were pretty pricey but the vibes of the cafe and strong coffee make it a nice spot to chat with some friends or do work. Ratings Matcha coconut raspberry cloud: 3/5 Cinnamon honey latte: 3.5/4 Chocolate croissant: 4/5

Oasis Bagels

I have decided that they just need to change the name of this place because I have been robbed…read more I have been living up on this mountain for nearly two years, having no idea that we have a breakfast/brunch/lunch cafe in the one and only strip mall in our little village. I thought it was just a bagel place. I can take or leave bagels. I can pick up a bag at Safeway. On this particular day I showed up ready to shop at said Safeway, famished. There was a sandwich board outside of Oasis with smoothie specials. They've got something besides bagels? Due to my tendency to go off list and grab unhealthy groceries when I'm hungry (that ends up rotting in the fridge) I ducked into Oasis. What? I just stood there for a second. My mountain neighbors were grazing contentedly at their tables. The menu boards were crammed with options. Things I like. Where do I even begin? My husband had been gatekeeping. I called and told him that I found this cafe and asked if he wanted anything - and he said he'd been there a couple of times before on the way to work. The bagels (though he told me that they were fresh and delicious) were a footnote to all the offerings. I honestly felt overwhelmed. The cashier said I could choose a fresh baked item - I selected a croissant - and they'd stuff it with sandwich ingredients. I chose chicken salad and it was epic. Generous shreds of chicken in a flavorful dressing that was creamy without tasting like greasy mayo. To top it off, you can choose a "free" bag of gourmet chips off a rack. That treat makes your $9 sandwich reasonably priced. I got it all to go, for lunch later, and picked up a green smoothie to get me through the store. When I walked in Safeway this lady asked, "Did you get that next door? It's so good isn't it?" All of my neighbors have been gatekeeping, while I have been relegated to Subway and Starbucks. Another time, I went to Oasis with my husband and got a breakfast burrito and fresh squeezed OJ, which were so good. We were anticipating an overnight guest from the east coast so we picked up a few black-and-white cookies for dessert and crumb cake to complement our home-cooked breakfast. All were very fresh and tender baked goods; our guest told us she felt so special. Next I'm going to try their deli sandwich since my tendency is drive over a half hour down the hill to Jersey Mike's, thinking I had no choice. These gatekeepers get on my nerves.

Been here before and the amount of donuts was just leftover pickings. Third time coming in and this time I came around 830 and they had lots of donuts. There was a line but with the two girls both taking orders it wasn't a wait. Gave me a minute to start on my selection. They were soft and flavorful and when I take them home I wonder how long they will last. I plan on have the boba drink next cause half the people there was holding one. read more

But what really makes this place special is their mission. They hire individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and actively invest in the community -- from vendor markets to hosting events like their upcoming 5K. You can feel that purpose woven into everything they do. We tried one of their themed drink flights (the Sweet Heart menu was adorable -- Love Potion, Love Struck, To The Moon & Back... so cute). The presentation in the little mason jars was fun and picture-worthy. Flavor-wise, they leaned sweeter than my personal preference, but still enjoyable and perfect if you love flavored lattes. They offer plenty of milk options, including non-dairy, which I appreciate. Bakery - vegan and gluten-free options clearly labeled. I grabbed the lemon scone (vegan + GF). It was good! I'm personally more of a vegan-but-not-gluten-free girl, so texture-wise it's not something I'd specifically crave again -- but I absolutely appreciate that they create inclusive options. My friend had the cinnamon roll and was happy. They also have a small retail section with mugs, shirts, local honey, and little gift items, which adds to the community feel. Overall, this isn't a hyper-trendy, third-wave coffee aesthetic spot -- it's something better. It's purpose-driven, inclusive, and clearly loved by the neighborhood. Not a five-star flavor experience for me personally, but an easy four stars for what they stand for and the impact they're making.
