Glad to see a local donut shop hanging in there in the LaFollette/Jacksboro area. The selection was…read morereally good; all the varieties we picked were fresh. I'd not recommend the house coffee unless you're good with standard pot coffee with no frills (it's OK for me, but not for those I got some for, ha). +1 staff and service +1 food and drink (smoothie was good, coffee was OK) +1 location and parking +1 donut variety -1 cleanliness - in front of the counter was good; a couple spots i observed in the back needed some care. Will be back in hopes of continuing to support this local business!

I stopped in here with my two kids to check it out one morning. We weren't sure what to expect but…read morewe were hoping for some caffeine and breakfast. The girls behind the counter were very friendly and helped us out with the menu, which can be a little bit overwhelming. It is basically a variety of "teas" and smoothies, all in a powdered form from some canisters. They have boosters you can add for immune support, energy, ect..., and their menu is basically broken down into 4 categories: Meal Replacement Smoothies, Protein smoothies, Fruit Smoothies, and Teas. Some days of the week they will have a type of food offered, all with health in mind. I gave this place 4 stars because: 1. The lack of variety(or TOO much variety, depending on how you look at it) 2. I asked if there was any dairy in the smoothie I wanted and the girl behind the counter insisted there wasn't any, but when I asked to see the container of powders they use it very clearly stated that there IS dairy (along with other allergens), so I thought it was pretty irresponsible to not be aware of the allergy dangers present in what you offer to customers. People with allergies or food sensitivities beware! So I ended up getting an iced tea, my daughter got a fruit smoothie, and my son ordered a protein smoothie. They were all really tasty!

While on a longer trip, we decided to try this place we had heard about. Although off the…read moreinterstate a bit, it was easy to find with a large sign on the front of the building. Located on the end of a strip mall, parking is plentiful. There are spaces adjacent to the building as well as across a traffic lane. I did not notice a specific handicapped space but since we were there later in the morning we were able to find a space near the front door. There is a step up to get onto the sidewalk as you enter. As you walk in, the display case is right in front. We had heard they sell out quickly, and the case was only half full when we got there. Still, the selection was large and had a good variety. The workers were very friendly and made several suggestions when we told them it was our first time there. Even a customer who came in after we started ordering gave a couple suggestions of her favorites. They have a good selection of gourmet donuts, with items like berries and custard, banana pudding, Oreo, German chocolate, etc. It would be impossible to not find something that piqued your curiosity. One thing I found unique and very appreciated was they fill your jelly donuts when you order them. That way they don't get soggy and break apart after sitting for a while. These are gourmet donuts done right. This will most likely become a regular stop for us as we travel through the area as they are definitely worth a side trip.

The service was excellent. Three very pleasant, lovely young ladies took care of us. We couldn't have been happier with our stop.

The guy was so nice, we got an apple fritter, strawberry Bearclaw, cinnamon roll and a raspberry filled donut. You choose the filling and he fills them right then.

We are building in Cosby, so this will be an absolute stop each and every time we are in town. I noticed they also served Community coffee and they have croissantsandwiches. If you are in town please stop by and support our local businesses, if you are familiar with Krispy Kreme, which are my favorite, these are better! And the prices are super!

We stopped here before visiting the Biltmore, and while parking was a bit of a challenge, it was absolutely worth it. We ended up parking on the street up the hill near some residential homes, but don't let that deter you. One of the coolest parts was being able to watch the doughnuts being made right in front of us. There was a line when we arrived, and we waited about 15 minutes to order and another 10 minutes or so for our doughnuts. Even with the wait, I'd do it all over again. The doughnuts were incredibly fresh, warm, light, and fluffy. Every flavor we tried was delicious, but the vanilla glazed and the toasted almond sesame cinnamon were my favorite. If you're in Asheville, this spot is definitely worth a visit.
