Over the years on these vacations Toby and I have stopped in a handful of donut shops we were told…read morewere the best in the area. Whether it's wanting to take a break from the large platters we have in the morning usually on these trips are just genuinely craving something sweet, most donut shops are just okay. Ralphs was a genuine find. Not only was the glazed exactly like in an old-fashioned--the sourdough taste and such good nook and crannies texture-wise--but that maple bar was probably the best one I've ever eaten. The donut was soft and pillowy with a good chew to it. But that maple topping was like the perfect texture; it was runny but still had real heft to it. It was like someone put pure molten maple on top and if you shook it too hard like a wet dog it would all just go flying. Every bite I wish I could repeat because it was a donut that seemed to go by too fast. The counter person couldn't have been more friendly. She was like tidal wave of warmth and kindness to us. I wish all folks who worked morning shifts could be this nice. The ambiance was good. It was a little tiny with the counter space. But the fact it is a donut shop and not a restaurant makes the fact they could pack in twenty or so seats at all amazing. And of course they'd be packed with customers sitting shoulder-to-shoulder. If I lived close to a donut shop like this , I'd want to come every morning for my donuts and coffee. I'd definitely get fat here. Overall, this is my ideal donut shop. There's a reason we made the 60 mile drive here for a few donuts and milk, and then drove 60 miles back to the hotel. There are just some donut joints that are worth a 120-mile donut run.

Huge fan of Ralph's Donut Shop! My friend and I randomly stopped by on a road trip and decided to…read moretry a few treats. First of all, I'm not sure if it's because I'm used to Boston prices, but the donuts were super cheap. Guilt-free spending... but lots of calories hehe. If you're here, it's worth trying a bunch! The vibes of the shop were awesome - super old school. You just order at the counter, so it's pretty low touch in terms of service, but the staff seemed super kind. I don't think I'll be back in the area, but I'd totally go back if so!

Might wanna check your employee attitudes and lose the dead weight before she runs off all your business.

We stopped in for a sweet treat and we were not disappointed by the tasty donuts inside. THE CRONUTS WERE EVERYTHING - my biggest regret in LIFE was not walking out the door with a dozen of these. I also really loved the blueberry old fashioned donut - way better than the Dunkin' version since it is topped with blueberry icing. And of course we had to try the classic pink sprinkles. It was soft and a little sweet but still a classic must. Overall, Tasty Donuts is a solid donut shop with great options for the classic donut lover, aka ME!

You can tell they're made with care, not just churned out for volume. The texture was spot on--soft and tender, not greasy or heavy--and the flavors tasted clean and well-balanced. This is the kind of place where one donut easily turns into two because everything looks and smells so good. If you're looking for a genuinely enjoyable donut experience that feels thoughtfully done rather than mass-produced, this place is well worth the stop.

This was another recommendation from the friend we were staying with, and it was a tasty stop. Pulling into the shopping center we were both pretty impressed by the layout and design of the area made to look like a small downtown, in any town America. Walking in the cashier greeted us as we entered the fun local donut shop. They had many tasty looking options which made it tough. But we each picked 2 and hit the road. Snacking on them through the drive, they were delicious addition to the day. I'll definitely visit this spot again next time, and will check out some of the other shops near by!

We enjoyed picking out our own dozen and also grabbed a half dozen of the classic flavors. We also ordered some coffee, and they made it fresh for us when we got there.

The atmosphere was welcoming, with nice music playing in the background. Great location as well. And let me tell you, the toppings were generous! I was only able to snap a picture of the classics because we already started digging into the dozen donuts with toppings.

I've been doing Yelp! for 5 years, and this is by far one of the coolest hole in the wall places I've been to. Truly a great little place and everyone I heard come through the door said that is was so neat and fascinating.

We picked up two blueberry cake donuts, two strawberry sprinkled donuts, and an apple fritter. The blueberry cake had that old-fashioned texture -- not too sweet, just right with coffee. The strawberry ones looked fun with the sprinkles, and they had a nice soft bite to them. The apple fritter was big enough to share, with that chewy-crisp edge I always like. Service was quick, which made the stop even better. I'll choose a local donut shop over a corporate one any day.
