    Fluffy, sugary, delightful donuts! Came here on a Sunday morning around 10am and was pleasantly surprised at both the stock of selections as well as the price. But the real clincher was the taste once I got home. These donuts weren't any day old leftovers you'd get at most shops, these were melting in your mouth, fluffy, sugary, dreamy donuts. 10/10 what a gem.

    Delicious, soft, fresh donuts, even in the afternoon! A clean, comfortable atmosphere. Friendly, generous service. I can't wait to try the muffins. Definitely coming back!

    Ok so this place is literally out the back gate of my apartment. That's so dangerous because they…read morehave AMAZING DONUTS and the drinks are really good as well. The service is friendly and quick. The shop Its self is small but that's because the donut selection is big with quite a few specialty's of donuts I love the Nutella dipped donut holes. Like I said there is so great a temptation to go every day, it's blindingly powerful and requires a powerful and strong level of self control. I'm a fat guy I love donuts. Do the math. Try these donuts and you too will feel the glorious sensation of yum. I am kind of bummed because this place blew up on tik tok so that means waking up earlier in the morning but oh well it's so worth it.

    Wow, small donut shop huge flavor and exceptionally good espresso…read more We ended up getting a cinnamon twist a strawberry and cream filled doughnut for my mom a old-fashioned maple and a maple bar along with two croissant sandwiches one with egg, bacon and cheese and one with egg and cheese The only thing I did not like was the American cheese and the croissant make sure you ask what kind of cheese they have. I'm not sure if that's all they serve, but the egg was delicious along with the croissant which was baked here. Five stars all day long excellent I got a flat white although she called it a latte with less milk, but it's delicious

    Oh my goodness...I've been craving a delicious Donut...My God doesn't disappointment me...So as I…read morewas driving down Hazel Avenue heading North, I spotted a shop simply named Donuts, well that's what my eye saw. My God wants me to be a little sweeter...so I had to try out the Donut Shop!!! I'm telling you my taste buds and my tummy were singing. These donuts are the freshest most delicious donuts I have encountered in a long time. I was in Heaven biting into the most crunchiest on the outside and so fluffy/moist on the inside Apple Fritter!!!! This sweet little lady really knows how to make a delicious Apple Fritter. I also tried a cake donut with chocolate frosting...also so fresh and moist...I really enjoyed both of my donuts!!! The cup of coffee with half and half I bought to chase my donuts was very fresh and yummy also. Was the best thing I could have chased my donuts with!!! The little lady behind the count was so warm and welcoming. She even laughed at my sense of humor with me as I paid for my delicious donuts. If you're like me and craving a donut and you're in the area...this is the place for you. Well I'd say it's worth the drive to go out your way for this donut spot!!! I'm so grateful My God made me look to the left as I was cruising down Hazel Avenue. Head on over and give them a try. Let me know how much you enjoyed these delicious donuts!!! Maybe I'll see you there, cause I know I will be returning!!!! Sorry no photos I had to walk back to my bus and as I walked I had to bite into my donuts. They were gone before I knew it.

    We made a spontaneous stop here on a Sunday around 10:30a while on an outing. The inventory was…read morequite depleted. The kind & sweet lady working there was apologetic. Apparently, a big local event was happening that day & a lot of people had come in earlier. The shop was clean. The floor to ceiling windows made it bright with natural light . There were a few tables for 2-4 people to sit & enjoy treats there. We picked a buttermilk bar with chocolate glaze & a chocolate cake donut with chocolate glaze & coconut. She generously threw in a raised glaze! We also got a mocha. The mocha was just basic. The buttermilk bar had a nice outer crust, a tender inside, & the chocolate wasn't too sweet. Just my kind of donut! Little one said her cake donut was delicious & enjoyed it with enthusiasm. The raised was yeasty & not overly sweet. Overall, tasty traditional donuts & nice service.
