    Donut box

    I stopped in to grab a couple donuts to take with me to a meeting I had nearby. I've been meaning to give this spot a try for a long time because I've heard good things about this family owned spot. They didn't disappoint! They had a nice, clean, little store with a wide array of donuts to choose from. It was hard to make a decision! Once I finished agonizing over what I wanted to take to my meeting I got a cinnamon roll, chocolate glazed, regular glazed, and raspberry jelly filled assortment. I was treated with patience and kindness by the folks working the counter and I was in and out very quickly despite my indecision. Highly recommend this place for flavorful fluffy donuts. I will be back!

    Aww rainbow donuts, always a fav. Today we stopped by store going to kids workshop at Home Depot. Always good service and good donuts. Just quiet little donut shop putting some of the best donuts. Today we got a cinnamon donut, maple bacon, chocolate long john, chocolate with M&Ms, and some donut holes.

    Light decadent and fluffy donuts. That how I would describe the donuts at The Original Rainbow Donut shop. Truly the best donut shop in town. I'm sure I've write a few reviews on other donut shop is town. But I think this one takes the cake quite literally. I've always had an addiction to donuts. But these simply the best and there are lots unique variations, and spins on the doughnut at Rainbow Donuts. This is family owned business and it's clear that they take pride in their work. The shops very clean and well maintained. The service is excellent and straight forward. No obnoxious tip hunting here... you just buy your donuts and you're on your way. Great place!!! I'll be back again!!

    Sun was rising in the east. Fresh scent of donuts greeted me as I entered Original Rainbow Donut. Place has that old school donut shop feel. I found out they have been in operation for 16 years. I notice lots of classic donuts. Prices were also from the old days. Glazed donut was fluffy and sweet. Great tasting classic donut. Apple fritter tasted mostly of sugar. One of the sweetest donuts I've ever tried. Glad I picked the small one. I prefer my apple fritter with 80% less sugar and more apple bits. There were a few pieces of apple but I couldn't taste them through the sugar. Next time I'll have to try a cake donut.

    All of their donuts are cooked in 100% soybean oil, which is not a good thing. Try using canola or olive oil to make it healthier. If your allergic to soy or have an intolerance, then avoid this standard Asian donut shop. Also there is an angry kid working there, who never smiles.

    I come here for one specific item only, the apple fritter. If you are going to go off your diet, make it count. This is from heaven! I've only had their non-fancy donuts which are fresh and delicious. I've always found them to have friendly and fast service. These are donuts that Homer and Chief Wiggum would endorse.

    Crumb donut, old fashioned, Boston cream.

The best part about being in the deli is the atmosphere. There is a full grocery store of Italian foods, people eating at the dining area and ordering going on at the deli counter. It is a fun place to be. Highly recommend!

I stepped into this joint and transported back in time - Sunday after church, five years old again with my grandparents, standing at the counter of Giannella's in Paterson, NJ. With the exception of the cashier dude, the staff was...uh..."mezza morto," and definitely in need of some Italian or Italian-American inspiration. A little life. A little rhythm. A smile perhaps. I ordered a chicken cutlet sandwich, add wet mozzarella, hot soppressata, roasted red peppers, oil, and balsamic.. The cutlets were too thick and the mozzarella, although fresh, was strangely tasteless. Apparently this sandwich was infused with gold, crypto, or something because it rang in at $24 with the add-ons. My person had the eggplant parm, which unfortunately was over-seasoned with only a slight trace of mozzarella. The marinara on the side was undefinable. We hit the bakery on the way out. The sfogliatella and cannoli were great, and so were the ladies behind the counter, warm, lively, and actually happy to be there. Look, I'm goin' back to Romanelli's. I'll even pay another $24 for a sandwich. There's a reason this place has been there for decades, and they deserve another shot.

One of my favorites to get is their spaghetti and meatballs meals. It comes with salad, garlic bread and the spaghetti and meatballs! Let me tell you the spaghetti and meatballs are so delicious! I would say this meal is enough for 2 people to share! The prices are unbeatable! Their deli sandwiches are super fresh, cut right there in front of you, made fresh and always delicious! Some others that are definitely worth mentioning is their pizza buying per slice (great portion size btw), and their pastas! A must when visiting is getting their pistachio Dubai chocolate cannoli! Their cannolis are made fresh and they really are amazing! The espresso tastes amazing! One thing that really stands out to me is that this deli/ grocery has been in business for a long time and the owners/employees are so welcoming and make you feel at home! They welcome you with genuine happiness. They have outdoor seating and they offer to go. They do have 2 spots for accessible parking and a few ramps. The aisles are pretty tight but if you ask the employers they are more than willing to help out! The entrance of the store is accessible and it's easy to move around.
