There's a nice seating and lounge area where you can actually sit and enjoy your drinks and food. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and you can tell they care about the experience. They were out of one flavor we wanted but made it fresh for us, which was such a great touch. The doughnuts are the standout. They have a large selection, including seasonal options, and they're more of a croissant-doughnut hybrid. Light, flaky, and melt-in-your-mouth. We were lucky enough to get one warm and it completely took it to another level. The peanut butter chocolate was crazy good. Perfectly topped with amazing flavor, definitely one of the best we tried. Such a fun spot with unique doughnuts, great service, and a cozy place to enjoy it all.

We stumbled upon this place after getting gas and had to stop in. Who doesn't love donuts? It was…read morequite busy for a Thursday! Love to see it. We got 6 donuts. (Donuts is a loose term, more like croissant). They were very good. I do wish they had more flavor or fillings. It's a very thin smear of icing to donut ratio. Still very good, cute little shop, but would love some more flavor or fillings in them!

We got Drift Dough donuts by way of Old Abe's Coffee, and they were great! The raised donuts are…read moreunfortunately not vegan (I have an egg allergy, so I'm always on the lookout for vegan baked goods), but the cake donuts are, and they had a fun lineup of flavors when my husband and I visited. One thing to note is that the address for Drift Dough isn't the address for Old Abe's Coffee, and I am not sure if that's an address for the bakery or something, but all signs pointed towards the donut shop being inside Old Abe's, so that's where we went. I got the ube donut (the purple one), and as someone originally from Hawaii, it was really great to see ube flavor is making it out to the Midwest now! The flavor is not super strong in the donut, so if you haven't had ube before, I think this would be a nice, mild introduction. My husband got the raised Tiramisu donut, and while he liked it, it's definitely bigger than the cake donuts and was a bit too much donut and frosting for him, but your mileage may vary (I like to think my stomach has a special compartment just for donuts, because it always seems that way, LOL). We got a nice cold brew with oat milk to wash the donuts down, and we will definitely be back next time we're in town!

Both while simple were so delicious I went back for lunch and grabbed a cookie and chicken salad sandwich on a Crossiant and fries. The cookie was amazing soft perfectly sweet a great afternoon treat. I will say the chicken salad was too dry and the croissant was also dry so I ended up just eating the fries and chicken part. While the chicken salad was a bit of a let down everything else was delicious plus staff was friendly you order at the counter then grab a table, and tons of tables in the diner. They also roast their own coffee so the entire place smelt great!

"You can't refuse a request from a dying man." (Abe "Fish" Vigoda as Sal Tessio)…read more "I'm not dead yet!" (Abe Vigoda as himself, addressing rumors.) This super trippy coffee shop kills it harder than Abe in "The Godfather" when it comes to delivering the goods! Heavenly vegan donuts, that is. Wait...wrong Abe? My sister and I are not vegans, but we stopped here for breakfast several days in a row on our way to the Mayo Clinic earlier this year purely out of curiosity. It was really helpful in the ordering process to see the various pretty donuts labelled and strung above the counter. We purchased almost all the flavors to bring to the hospital for our family to try, and the consensus was that the ube and the plum lime were possibly the most delicious donuts we've had anywhere! Honestly! Other outstanding flavors included the tiramisu, the banana stand, and the blueberry crumble. As delightful as the donuts were, I was disappointed in my drink orders. I could only get through a few sips of both my dirty chai latte and the Almond Joy coffee. Old Abe gives some hardcore psychedelic vibes to the point that I wondered if a hallucinogen had been slipped into my coffee before heading into the ladies' room. 1,000 cats hissing at you from the walls will cause you to question your sanity! The rest of the décor was just as wild, from THE Minnesota Prince to an apocalyptic Godzilla declaring that the end was near. The question "1880's stage actor assassin or the bear" might apply in the polka dot room, so it's best to sit facing out with your back against a wall...regardless of which Abe the shop is named after. If the apocalypse, John Wilkes Booth, wildlife, the Chief of the Waponis, or the mob takes me out to sleep with the fishes, and I come back in my next life as the leader of a subversive cult, I'll have to revisit the book room of this shop to view their anarchist primers. Also, I'm sending these donuts to McConaughey as a bribe. He's a fan of Lincolns, so maybe he'll do an Old Abe commercial where he contemplates the meaning of life while noshing on a ube donut. Penny for your thoughts?

I finally decided to stop in after so many recommendations from my fellow peers, and I must say I…read morewas extremely disappointed. There was an older gentleman at the display case, probably the owner, and a few younger gals working. After entering the store, we were greeted by no one, just quick stares. When ready to order, it took more than ten minutes to be acknowledged, bummer. The coffee was okay at best, but the donuts were amazing! Probably the best in Rochester. We sat downstairs, but we've heard the staff tell other customers that there were saying upstairs. After finding a seat and people watching, we noticed that the staff were much more attentive to other customers. It's hard to not feel like this was a race-based issue, esp being the only minorities in the shop. Either or, I guess it was an experience, I don't plan on visiting again. I'll stick to Cafe Aqui-- they've got great coffee, delicious snacks, wonderful staff and a welcoming atmosphere.

At first I was confused because it seemed to be a plant store, but they are located inside the store to the far left when you walk in! The staff here was really wonderful! I had questions and they were happy to answer! I decided to try their spring fling latte which had rhubarb and a thyme cold foam. Yes you read that right. It was an almost savory cold foam. While I give them props for stepping out of the box with this coffee, this just wasn't my favorite. My friend got a chai drink and that was very tasty!! This place has SO many cute items inside and around as well! I would definitely come back and just try something different! The vibes here are bright and so cute! This is definitely worth a stop if you are in the area!

The girls that took my order when I visited were so energetic and friendly! They quickly made my drinks and sent me on my way. The lattes were overly sweet (and I like a sweet coffee) but lacked a rich coffee flavor. My drink reminded me of a gas station coffee that had a bunch of over the counter syrups pumped in. There are so many wonderful coffee shops in the world, but I'd skip this one if I was ever in the area again.
