I love Donut Friend!!! Their Cannoli Donut is my (and my…read morefamily's) favorite donut ever. I was in the area and called ahead to see if they had any I could pre-order, but found out that the Cannoli Donut was a seasonal option and they didn't have the ingredients to make any. Donut Friend, if you're reading this, please bring the Cannoli Donut back! The helpful staff member speaking with me on the phone let me know about the Danish Donut which has a cream cheese filling which is what she thought would be most similar to the mascarpone filling. It was delicious, but Cannoli is still my favorite. I wasn't a fan of the Strawberry Mochi Donut- not sure why because I love strawberries and the texture of mochi & glutinous rice flour. Samoa & Cinnamon Toast were tasty! Thanks Donut Friend!!

I came up in the entertainment industry, which runs on coffee and donuts. These donuts bear the same relationship to your ordinary donut as a rusty skateboard does a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. Also, I challenge you to distinguish their incredible vegan ice cream from standard ice cream. It doesn't hurt that their staff are wonderful as well.

Not…read moreonly is this usually out of my PvP zone radius in getting food from, but the donuts that we got to try were unique and delicious as well. We have someone vegan in our office, so this is perfect since their donuts are plant based, I believe. If I were a being of greed, I would have eaten more of their donuts, but since this was a special occasion and people genuinely wanted to eat the donuts (since sometimes I know that food is left in the breakroom for awhile if people aren't interested in consuming it), I only tried one donut. I got to try their Yo La Mango. Love the bright yellow, slightly tart mango glaze and the dash of Tajin on top. It's sweet, tart, and has a slight kick wherever the Tajin was sprinkled on. Never had a donut like this before. Would love to come in person to try out more of their donuts one day if I ever make the trek out.

I tried a regular glazed donut, and honestly, I was pretty disappointed. After one bite, I had to toss the rest. it just wasn't fresh and didn't have that satisfying taste I was craving. I was really excited to end my dinner with a nice dessert, but it just fell flat. It might just be a timing issue since they probably bake early, but either way, I wasn't impressed, and I won't be going back for donuts.

They have such a huge range of donut flavors, every time I go, I want to just get a big ole box of all the donuts. The last time I went, I ordered four donuts: black sesame, tiramisu, blueberry, and injeolmi. My husband, who doesn't even usually like sweets said his favorite was the black sesame out of all the donuts. I enjoyed all of the cream donuts and destroyed all of them within the day!!! I liked that the cream inside the black sesame and the injeolmi also had some red bean inside. That was a nice touch. The taste was subtle, not too crazy sweet, and super light. Light enough where you don't feel really gross after you eat the donut (even though my husband and I put down four donuts). I ordered a matcha ice latte too which was a nice complement to our order. All in all, I will be back.

I ordered a half-dozen, which included cookies and cream, Reese's, and marzipan, among other flavors that I don't recall. I preferred the marzipan and Reese's the best, especially the Reese's, which is stuffed with peanut butter. I recommend heating it in the microwave for the best taste. While the donuts didn't completely impress me, I'm glad I tried them. They have many varieties and something for everyone. The donuts are worth 3.5-4 stars. I wouldn't wait in line for them, but I would stop by if I were nearby. They aren't worth a long drive, though.

The mochi twist was delicious and I knew it would be because I like mochi donuts. What I didn't expect to be delicious and likely my favorite treat here was the dinosaur churro. If she didn't insist I think I would choose that last or gave it away. BUT I did try it and fell in love with it. I did share other items selected by my friend who was with me and did not get to taste them. The baristas were fun and friendly as they prepared our coffee. I was in deep thought waiting and one asked if I was okay and I said I was very good after coming back to the present. I'll be back for more dinosaur churros, coffee and other yummy treats.

Bummer folks have to drive all the way out there just to try. We didn't see any signs of the store closing nor did we catch anything online. Must be recent. Can someone pls confirm if this is true?

**LIGHT AND FLUFFY DOUGHNUTS IN MID-CITY**…read more Doughnuts are one of my favorite dessert snacks, so I had to try this neighborhood spot. The space is aesthetically pleasing, but more importantly, the doughnuts actually deliver. Elevated flavors, light texture, and nothing overly sweet or heavy. PARKING Located in a small strip mall next to a liquor store with a handful of easy parking spots right in front. DOUGHNUTS TIRAMISU Soft, airy, and flavorful with a mascarpone-like cream and generous topping. Sweetness level was balanced perfectly. Rating: 5/5 PISTACHIO As a pistachio lover, this was one I was excited for. Light and fluffy with a gently sweet cream filling. I just wished the pistachio flavor came through a bit stronger. Rating: 4/5 STRAWBERRY Very subtle strawberry flavor with an airy doughnut texture. You taste more of the dough itself than the fruit. Not my personal favorite, but still solid. Rating: 4/5 BLUEBERRY Similar to the strawberry, the blueberry flavor is delicate and not overpowering. Good for anyone who prefers lighter berry flavors without excessive sweetness. Rating: 4/5 Chris, the owner's brother, was incredibly friendly and added to the welcoming local vibe. Prices range from about $4.50 to $8.50 depending on the flavor and ingredients. Love supporting local businesses, and this one will definitely stay in rotation. RECOMMEND.

SERVICE Great service, caring, and communicative even leading up to the day of delivery. DONUTS Delicious! Perfectly sweetened and creamy. The black sesame with mochi was delicious. The tiramisu cream had a slight sourness which I was not too much a fan of. The sweet potato was not too sweet and had a good amount of filling.
