They ran out of the Maple glazed when I came so I got the Bear Claw, Apple Fritter, and decided to try their Cinnamon Roll that was more flaky. It's always so hard choosing because everything looks amazing!! Service is great and the young lady was very friendly. Everything tasted fantastic and that flaky Cinnamon Roll had a great sweet and buttery flavor!! I still prefer the glazed but it was good! They thankfully had parking but it was pretty full around 10:30am and they had lots of dine-ins!!

Stopped in late night after having a sugar craving. Glad we did!…read more The feel of the place is very authentic and vintage. This is a real deal old school, no gimmicks, type of place. Regular coffee, donut recipes that have been working for decades, and old school back breaking stools at the counter. I love it. Take your kids here so they can hear tales of the olden days of the 1980s when you ordered a donut in person, face to face, no phone involved, no idea what gluten was or if the food was free of it. Anyhoo...... I may have eaten the best donut of my life last night. A man popped out from the back and gave me a freebie he said he just cooked. Oh.my.goodness. It was so light, airy, and flavorful. I think it was cinnamon roll or something; not sure I didn't catch the name because I was busy chewing. Try these donuts!!

I wish I could have gotten more but my doctor doesn't like me eating any. Moderation, am I right? Walked in and was greeted by a very friendly and polite staff. We explained we were all former Regular Customers, but no longer live in the area. They even knew the friends from both Florida and from Massachusetts wouldn't typically find the nutty donut, while we grew up with them in our arsenal. They had a great selection and all were fresh that day, some were actually just recently put in the case fresh. I chose a lemon, Bismarck, a cinnamon roll with maple frosting and nuts on top, two of the glazed donuts, one mixed fruit fritter, and a nutty donut. About 1/4 way home, I inhaled the Bismarck and my only regret is not getting a dozen donuts. That donut was still warm and was better than anything bought from a national chain, and you know who those are. The store is clean and kind of nostalgic. They had a display of vintage looking coffee cups but we were not sure if they were for sale or used for art.

Mostly empty bag of delicious donuts

The nutty donut. The last one I own. It is delicious, even 2nd day warmed for a few seconds in the microwave.

I pictured myself sitting at a counter with a hot cup of coffee and a fresh donut. Unfortunately, the reality didn't match the photos. The shop itself is a bit dingy and dim, and the counter shown in pictures was blocked with boxes and plastic--no place to sit. I arrived before 11 AM on a Friday and the selection was already pretty picked over. The one worker got swamped when a crowd came in, and the tight space made the whole experience feel rushed. I ordered two donuts (cheap, which was nice), but they were tossed in a bag together with no divider, so the frosting stuck together which made it a pain to get them out of the bag to eat. No napkins were given. Fortunately, I remembered to ask for some. One donut was chocolate with sprinkles, the other had buttercream filling with white frosting. Both were decent, nothing amazing. I tried to sit outside, but the chairs were old and dirty. They looked liked they came from an old elementary school. To top it off, someone came up trying to sell me a "$600" motorcycle helmet for $100. I decided to make a quick exit. If I lived nearby, I might grab a dozen to-go, but it's not worth a special trip. Just average overall.

Ambiance is nothing to speak of, very old building and decor is out dated and tired but seemed clean which is the important part. 6 donuts were about $15-so not cheap but I will say the glazed donut was the most soft pillowy donut I have ever eaten!! We also split an apple fritter which was good. It did not really have much apple flavor, but was still tasty. The nice thing about these donuts was that they did not have a ton of grease which sometimes donuts can and the oil was fresh and did not have that old oil flavor. We went around noon so selection of donuts were limited so you will want to try and get there earlier. This place is definitely worth a try! We will definitely be making the trek back to try some other flavors

It is so delicious, they tend to sell out quickly when there is a large crowd. We tried two dozen mini donuts for only $10. It comes with all kinds of toppings of your choice. You can get it plain, powdered sugar, cinnamon and sugar, caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, and more. You can also divide the two dozen into two if you have a group and do different types of toppings. They also serve frozen slushies. I had the caramel apple cider and my daughter had the plain apple cider. Both really delicious. They slushies were $6 and $5, a pretty good price. The donuts were hot and fresh, so good, like they were just fresh out of an apple orchard. This place is a good value for a food truck and the portions are big for such mini donuts.

The next day you could still eat it and it was still good. I heated it in the microwave for 15 seconds and it was perfect. There wasn't much of an experience there other than to buy cider and donuts.

They could use more picnic tables and trash cans. All-in-all, nice place to get some fresh donuts and cider quickly!

It cost $18 for one dozen. That is so cheap compared to the other neighborhood donut places. The donuts were light and airy with plenty of filling but not overly sweet. I tried the peanut butter and jelly one which was delicious, a long John which is my usual standby, a few glazed and cinnamon, and a few other random ones and they were all delicious.
