The manager came out with this expression on her face like shes so done with her job. She said "what does it say on the app..." we saw that they only offer 3pc with a purchase. My bf ordered a drink but midway wanted to change the drink, so I can understand their frustration. In addition, we were asking whats the specialty coffee, she was giving the same face and said "what...so you want cookies and cream..? What flavor do you want? If you look here, it's on the menu..." Putting all frustrations to the side - I also work in the hospitality industry, and you should not show your frustration to the customer. This manager, the entire time - had the worse aura ever...you could sense that she was not happy with us. We were being very polite; it's a Sunday and it's my birthday, I have no reason to be upset :) That manager was just so rude and had the worse attitude ever...if she speaks to all of her customers like this, please go find a new job because customer service is not for you. The donuts are always delicious, so I'm happy at the end of the day :) The manager had short-red-straight hair with glasses.

Since it's brand new, the location is very clean. I noticed that even though it looks pretty much like a traditional DD, they're going for a Starbucks feel with a couple of armchairs around tables to encourage you to hang out. The cashier was very nice and accommodating. I enjoyed my vanilla chai. They only offer it in a medium but at $2.99 it's comparable with other chain tea drinks. I also ordered a pumpkin cake donut that tasted very little of pumpkin and mainly like sugary glaze. Can't really complain though because it's DD- wasn't expecting a naturally sweetened, locally grown pumpkin donut! However, the bf hated his iced coffee.

It's also a 50/50 shot if the store is open at all. We have went several times since they opened with notes on menu speaker outside or a crate in drive up with a note stating they are closed. It is also a high chance that if you had a certain donut flavor in mind you might need to be more flexible because it's a roll of the dice if it's even available. We have given up on the store and just decided that if we want donuts it's probably best to just stop at any other place close by.

This is mine and my families "go to" place for donuts in Frederick! We love that they have beyond just the regular classic glazed, chocolate, sprinkles, etc... My kids love the "oreo" type donuts and the cinnamon sugar donuts... It's always fun to get a dozen of the various types they have and take them home for guests and have them try them and be just as amazed as we were at the variety of the donuts available to eat. Must go to place if you are ever in the area! read more

This donut shop has an interesting name, but I was disappointed with the tastes of 2 donuts that I ordered. The chocolate raspberry did not have a raspberry taste and only tasted like a chocolate chip donut. The maple + cinnamon + graham donut was good, but the maple taste was very subtle and it was very difficult to taste the graham crackers. Lastly, this shop is not conducive to those with nut allergies which makes it extremely difficult to order safely. read more

They have all kinds of decadent desserts from key lime cheesecake, to chocolate covered cheesecake, to different cakes topped with fruit. And even different types of loaves of bread and baked good items like pineapple upside down cake. There are so many options to choose from. So far, we have tried the white French rolls, the jalapeño and cheese bread, which I love!! I always buy a loaf sliced and just eat it with butter. It's so yummy because it's the perfect softness with a crusty crust. We even have tried the chicken and beef empanadas which are the best in Frederick so far. We even love the blueberry and cream cheese crossaints. Definitely a local gem with lots of different options for everyone. There is limited street parking and is a small location but you're usually in and out within 5 to 10 minutes if you can decide what to get. There is no indoor dining or seating especially during COVID. But there are a couple of tables if you're interested in having a cup of coffee and dessert outdoors on a nice day.

There were only about eight people waiting outside, but there didn't seem to be any real organization. There was no clearly defined line, no sign indicating where the line started, and no obvious way of knowing which window you were supposed to approach. The location has four service windows, yet only two were being used. Employees would occasionally call out that they could help the next person, but they were speaking so quietly that it was difficult to hear them. The drive-through wasn't much better, with roughly 10 cars waiting when I was there. They also provide sidewalk chalk for customers, which is a nice idea, but people were drawing and gathering directly around the ordering windows. Because there isn't already a designated waiting area or line, that just made it even harder to tell where customers were supposed to stand or walk. What should have been a simple stop for ice cream turned into about a 15-minute wait with people basically standing around trying to figure out what was going on. The ice cream wasn't bad, but it also wasn't good enough to make me overlook the experience. With two grocery stores right nearby where I could have picked up ice cream and been on my way, I left feeling like the wait and confusion simply weren't worth it. Hopefully they eventually come up with a better system for managing customers because the current setup definitely took away from the experience.
