4/5
~6:45 am on a Saturday, line was about 20 people deep (it opens at 7)!
Pros:
-Fun flavors
-Moist cake donuts and fluffy yeast donuts
-Small parking lot
Cons:
-Pricey!
-Lines! Just opened a month ago and it's still super packed. I assume there will be lines up until they sell out at least for a while. EDIT 8/18: they're making more donuts and lines are not as bad!
-Menu not posted on Instagram so can't guarantee what flavors will be available until you get there. I hope they'll start noting this on Instagram (the night before, please??) since they seem pretty active and it would be great to know what's available before making the trip. Also, flavors change throughout the day which is frustrating if you find out a flavor you wanted became available after you left!! EDIT 8/18: they now post the menu for the week on Instagram @roccodoughnutco which makes life so much easier!!
-Tight space inside so it's a little hard to maneuver, and no place to sit

-- Recommend:
Brown/Maple Butter Pecan
Plain cake donut with brown butter icing and candies pecans. Perfectly moist cake donut with sweet brown butter/pecan topping.
Glazed Chocolate Cake
Fairly moist chocolate cake donut with a thick layer of glaze that wasn't overly sweet. Not the best chocolate cake donut I've ever had, but very solid.
Apple Crisp
Apple cake donut topped with apple crisp. Moist cake donut with good apple flavor!
Chocolate Cream Pie
Yeast donut with chocolate icing and a chocolate mousse(?) topping. The chocolate mousse was surprisingly good and not overly sweet.
Plain Glazed
Fluffy yeast donut with plain glaze. Light and fluffy but thick.
Boston Cream
Yeast donut with chocolate icing filled with bavarian cream. Fresh dough and all around a pretty solid Boston Cream--lots of filling inside.
Cinnamon Almond Crunch
We were a bit confused because the menu advertised Coffee Almond Crunch and yet this had Cinnamon instead. Glazed plain cake donut topped with cinnamon, crumbled almonds (? it tasted more like the topping on a butternut/crunch donut instead of nuts and wasn't super crunchy, so if that's the case I'm not sure where the almond comes in) and a vanilla (?) drizzle. This was a super moist donut that some thought was too cinnamon-y, but I enjoyed it despite the confusion about what it was!
Plain Chocolate Glazed
Yeast donut with a chocolate icing and 1/4 covered in sprinkles (I guess to appeal to the crowd that likes and dislikes sprinkles at the same time?) Again, the dough was really fresh and I enjoyed the chocolate icing.
Hostess
Plain cake donut encased in a hard chocolate shell.
It was definitely dry inside but the crunch of the chocolate exterior made this worth a try.
-- Don't recommend:
Pumpkin Cake
Glazed pumpkin cake donut. This was a bit too sweet.
Glazed Plain Cake
Moist cake donut with similarly thick layer of glaze as the chocolate cake, but also a little too sweet.
Fruity Pebbles
Yeast donut with strawberry cereal milk icing and fruity pebbles. The crunch of the fruity pebbles is nice, but the topping was insanely sweet. However, the yeast donut underneath was fluffy and fresh. My second favorite (if eaten without the topping).
Chocolate Caramel Toffee
Glazed chocolate cake donut with a caramel icing, toffee bits, and chocolate drizzle. The cake donut was fairly moist but I didn't like the toppings--it was overwhelming and I don't think they paired well with each other. I would get a plain glazed chocolate cake donut over this.
Oreo
Un-glazed chocolate cake donut with a vanilla (Oreo-esque) icing topped with crumbled Oreos and what may have been a chocolate drizzle but we weren't sure. Okay, but super dry given that the cake donut wasn't glazed.
Nutella
Yeast donut rolled in cinnamon sugar with ~1 tablespoon of Nutella in an indentation in the center. The dough was fresh but we had been hoping this was a larger pool of Nutella--the indentation is pretty shallow, so it's mostly a cinnamon sugar donut with a bit of Nutella on top. I wasn't a fan of the sugar and wouldn't get this again.
Dunkaroo
Yeast donut topped with some kind of vanilla (?) icing, Nilla wafer crumbles, Teddy Grahams, and sprinkles. This was our least favorite by far. We did not like the icing and had no idea what the flavor was, and it definitely was not reminiscent of Dunakroos. read more
