    Updated donut & pastry price as of 3/10/2025
    Danielle D.

    Friendly staff, fluffy yummy donuts at a reasonable price! The cake donut is very moist! They can also do large catering orders and only need at least 1 day advance notice. You have to pay a little extra fee for having them bagged individually.

    Not just donuts. They have a great variety of lunch options - healthy, fresh, and inexpensive. Now that's hard to find these days. And they are quick to prepare it. I definitely recommend this place.

    On Stevenson next to the Gas Station, nice family owned place that is open very early which I love. When I went most of the early customers were contractors and were loading up on the Breakfast sandwiches and Coffee. We got the Ham and Sausage Breakfast Croissants, they are made to order. You can see them made right behind the cash register. They have their system down and the sandwiches were ready in less than 5 minutes, they come pre-cut in half and are beautifully layers and very precisely cut, taste is great...not too heavy or greasy. 5/5. Sausage Roll, sausage tasted really good, reminded me more like a Portuguese Sausage than a hotdog. A lot of asian bakeries go light on the hotdog to carbs ratio, Penny does opposite with a huge amount of sausage and very thin bread around it. We actually had to wrap it one more time at home in tortilla to soften the Sausage. Donuts were good, definitely fresh made that morning.

    Donut holes

    10/10 my new favorite / go to spot now. Go try it you won't be disappointed. I love their donuts holes. Friendly staff , clean place.

    All it takes is one stale day-old doughnut to be slipped to you by the smiling lady behind the counter to ruin your taste for the place.

    this place was the perfect stop in the middle of my long bike ride yesterday. i had it on my radar…read moreand was going to be near, so donuts for lunch it was! they were sold out of about half of their options around 2pm but had plenty left, and they were still deliciously fresh then by then. i grabbed their last blueberry cream donut (love a filled brioche) and a caprese bun for something salty. and despite being a total coffee snob (i make my own espresso at home and even roast my own coffee beans in my kitchen!) i tried a gibraltar aka a cortado. i'm surprised i got a pic of the the caprese before i inhaled it. they warmed it up for me, and there was a mouth-watering ripe tomato in every bite. little pesto/basil with the crispy cheese. wow. perfectly crunchy and also juicy. delicious the blueberry cream was awesome. the flavor isn't too sweet, nice light fry with a ring on the outside, good gluten development... all markers of a superbly made donut. and the coffee! wow! when a bakery is good at their food options, i don't necessarily expect great coffee, but they carry verve which is a winner, and a crowd pleaser. not too dark, but still solid enough to hold up to a baked good. milk texture was spot on. overall super impressed with this place. friendly service, and they mask (yay). half a star off for no bathroom. i really wanted some soap and water after all the portapotty use of my bike ride :(

However, the taste was a little disappointing. I do like a fluffly, textured donut, however, these are served cold and very sweet. It's just a different donut than the ones I prefer. They had a wide selection of flavors, even on late morning of a weekend. We tried the tiramisu (2/5) donut and the biscoff cream donut (3/5). But both were too sweet for my taste. I can't say that I'd be back, but if you're looking for something unique, I think you'd enjoy this little shop. They also sell croissants, more savory treats, and coffee!

    I went on a Saturday around noon, and most of the flavors were already sold out. They ended up…read morehaving 2 flavors of their malasadas remaining, alongside some donuts and guava cheesecake. The malasadas were definitely good. It feels like care went into each one--they tasted all homemade and fresh. They definitely did not skimp out on cream or filling. I'm typically not a fan of desserts, but these had the perfect level of sweetness for me. The fruits were nice and ripe as well. The two flavors I got were the blueberry matcha and the mango. The blueberry matcha had this nice rich blueberry jam mixed in with cream that actually has a good matcha taste. The mango one was really fresh--this one was my favorite. Although they aren't cheap at about $6.25 per one, they were definitely delicious. It seems like a family run business that puts a lot of care into their products though. I'll be returning but maybe more as a nice treat rather than a regular go-to.

    We happened to be nearby and were in search of a coffee and Doughweime happened to be in the same…read moreshopping complex so we walked over to give it a try. There were a few people in line and it did take about 10 minutes before we were able to order. During that time, some of the malasada flavors ran out, but they were quickly replenished. We grabbed an assortment of flavors, an iced oat latte, and a black sesame latte. The banana creme brulee malasada looked so good that we had to try it in the store while waiting for our drinks. The dough is so soft and pillowy with a crispy layer of bruleed sugar and a delicious banana cream that was absolutely to die for. At $6.50, it's not a cheap treat, but it was super delicious and I'm glad we tried it. The drinks were also great. The espresso shot they pulled perfectly complemented the oat milk -- this is one of the better iced oat lattes I've had. We tried the black sesame latte because it sounded interesting and it was so creamy and loaded with black sesame flavor. For anyone that doesn't drink caffeine, I highly recommend you try the black sesame latte. With such great quality malasadas and drinks, it's no wonder there was a line! We'll definitely be back!
