We got six flavors to try and here's our ratings (refer to photo). Pandan Coconut - 10/10, our fav by a long shot!!!! Bavarian - 6.5/10, needed a bit more flavor but we loved the creaminess. Strawberry Rhubarb - 6/10 (I liked it more than my partner but he's not a big strawberry fan, worth trying for sure!!). Everything Donut - 7/10, a little in the salty side but fun to try for sure!! Classic Cinnamon - 7/10, light, fluffy and airy. Nutella - 4/10, the Nutella was super thick inside this so you have to strategically plan your bites so you're getting and even amount of donut to Nutella ratio, my first bite was like eating a big spoonful of peanut butter, obviously tasty tho Nutella is delish. We would definitely come back!! Getting two coconut next time though!

I've been following almost since their Lawrence farmer market days so when they opened up a…read morephysical location I was psyched. $5 a donut seemed a bit pricey at first but I've never found anywhere else that does sourdough donuts and I travel a lot so it's worth it to me. I don't recommend the savory donuts. I've tried the everything bagel flavor and it was way too salty. I dusted off most of the flavoring and it was still very salty. The sweet donuts are better. I also like the plain sourdough donut ($4) with no filling because I don't have much of a sweet tooth. My favorite flavor is the pandan one because it's not too sweet (saying "it's not too sweet" is a meme but also kind of an ultimate compliment for Chinese taste buds). I recently went on at 8:30 am on a Friday, waited in line for about 20 minutes and was able to buy the donuts I wanted. They always have a line but it seems like you can still have a solid chance of getting donuts if you line up to an hour even after opening. They also have some batch drinks on tap, a nice space with enough seating, and even some board games and books.

Expect long line for ice cream…read more The wait was a solid 20+ minutes. The selection of ice cream is crazy. They do let you sample if you're indecisive.

The restaurant itself is beautiful inside -- a cozy mix of rustic and modern that creates a really inviting atmosphere. Service started a little slow, though our waitress became more attentive once she came by. We mentioned it was our first visit, so I was a bit surprised there wasn't much guidance on the menu or any recommendations. At one point I asked about the two kinds of fries (I love fries!), and the explanation was simply that they were "fancy fries," without much detail on flavors or differences. We started with drinks and the Brussels sprouts appetizer. The sprouts were actually very good, with a nice balance in the sauce, and both the wine and sangria were refreshing. Unfortunately, dinner is where things went downhill. Our meals -- a steak and a gluten-free chicken sandwich -- took about 45 minutes to arrive, which felt long for relatively simple dishes. I had asked about the gluten-free bun since they can sometimes be dry, but didn't receive much insight beyond "it's gluten free," and sadly it was indeed very dry. The chicken itself lacked flavor, though the goat cheese cilantro sauce helped make it somewhat enjoyable. The fries looked homemade and delicious but arrived cold. The steak was cooked as requested, but it didn't have much flavor beyond the mushrooms on top. The broccoli side was tasty, and the potatoes were good, though it on a bed of Some kind of cheese sauce that wasn't quite to our liking. Overall, the space and gluten-free availability were promising, and the appetizers and drinks were enjoyable, but the food execution and service details didn't quite meet expectations for us this visit.

The interior is pretty small but they do have some seating outside-front and back. The service was good. I ordered the House Gimlet: cucumber infused gin, rosemary, orange blossom, and lime. This drink was so refreshing. It's a great drink for spring and summer. I highly recommend this drink! My boyfriend tried the Fugue State: Old overholt rye, bigallet China-china, tiki bitters, Lambrusco, and orange peel. He liked it and said it was like an old fashioned. It wasn't too strong and was really sweet. They had lots of other good sounding cocktails. I'll definitely stop by in the future.
