We found out that the best way to get your donuts is to pre-order. (They make 12 different kinds each day). Next time I guess! Because I can only judge that taste and quality on 2 donuts that were the lest favorite for that day I'm going to have to make another visit to give better feedback. I will say, the 2 we bought were only okay, but the pictures on their website that we missed looked pretty amazing. Best advice.....Get there early, or order ahead!

I would say that this shop focuses mostly on creating flavors, so the donuts themselves are not anything special. It's more about the fillings. You should also be aware that the feelings are mostly cake frosting, so if that feels too sugary for you, be warned. The donuts definitely satisfy someone with a sweet tooth, and they offer mini donuts at a reasonable price point, so you can try many different flavors in one sitting. When you cut the mini donut in half, it's just about right for a bite a piece when sharing with a friend.

Simple decor and a nice outdoor seating area. It was very busy on my arrival and parking was non-existent. I parked in the business lot next door, as there is no street parking allowed. The staff were nice and were helpful throughout our visit. The menu is simple, as they only offer a small variety of their donuts and some basic coffee (hot/cold). My partner and I ordered two donuts and two drinks to go (seating was at a premium). We received our donuts, but had to remind a staffer about our coffees. The donuts. My partner, who had visited the establishment before, agreed they were basically cinnamon and sugar donuts. That is not what we ordered; however, the pistachio/cardamon and cherry almond poppy didn't deliver the advertised flavor. The donuts were warm and the consistency was enjoyable, they simply weren't what I expected. The coffee. Somewhat bitter. Both the hot and cold. Broken lid on the top of the hot coffee. The price. Pricey. I get the novelty but the price of the donuts seems a bit high. Overall, not the worst; but kind of a disappointment for all the hype I've seen. I told my partner that I don't need a second round.

We picked this bakery off recommendations for our wedding cake. Dawn was amazing as we were planning our wedding in Appleton from Anchorage, Alaska. She was willing to let our bridesmaid and her husband cake taste for us, and emailed us numerous times in order to make sure everything was perfect. Once we arrived in Appleton, we took a walk over to the bakery just to appease my inner bridezilla... Dawn had the emails printed and the pictures we wanted, verified all the information was correct and we walked out with a amazing cupcake. I cannot tell you how many complements we got on the amazing cake at the reception!!! Simple Simon was a joy to work with and I highly recommend them for their amazing sweets and beautiful cakes. read more

They also make other bakery items and beautiful custom cakes for graduations, weddings and such. It's a little more expensive for the area, but the quality of the items, freshness, and service are worth filling a box every once in awhile to treat yourself. Their pink boxes have become a recognizable object in Oshkosh! In a larger city the lack of no lot and further away street parking might be a hindrance, but being younger and able having to carry items halfway down a block hasn't impeded impulse stopping to buy. There is 1-2 spots of short term (15 min) parking in front, but every time I've been there they've been taken. The Lick the Bowl cupcake is my favorite option!

Crumbl Cookies Blue Monster Cookie ft. CHIPS AHOY!: Crumbl rotates their flavors on a weekly basis…read morebut depending on the flavor some are absolutely amazing. Crumbl's official description is that this is a brown sugar, semi-sweet chocolate chip cookie covered in a creamy blue vanilla flavored frosting decorated with CHIPS AHOHY! cookie pieces as well as a mini-CHIPS AHOY Cookie. The only thing scary about the Blue Monster is how addicting it is. That blue frosting is incredibly thick, creamy, and monstrously sweet. I found the cookie itself had a buttery flavor and hints of chocolate from the chips, which helped to set it apart from some of their more generic (but tasty) frosted cookies. It was slightly crunchy at the periphery and soft and chewy (yay!) towards the middle. Unfortunately, the CHIPS AHOY! pieces are too small to really detect and with the mini being gone in a single bite, it's more for decoration (it made me feel like I was eating two generations of a CHIPS AHOY family though).

Some cookies are too thick and doughy for my liking, but that's my personal opinion.

They want people in and out and they do serve you pretty speedily.
