What a blast from the past! Sweet Shop is the no-nonsense, vintage donut shop of my dreams. They…read morestart making donuts in the wee hours of the morning, put their delicious baked goods in the display case, open their doors, and then sell their donuts until they're all gone, or until noon, whichever comes first. I was told that if they sell out before noon, they will put a sign in the window to let everyone know.
Luckily, there was no such sign in the window when I visited at around 10:45 a.m. So I popped in to grab a donut or several. I think I had just slunk in at the nick of time. There was one tray of donuts left! So I got a few: a sprinkle donut, a blueberry cake donut, a glazed round donut, and a glazed twist. I'm a firm believer in keeping it simple when you visit a new donut shop. The glazed twist is my litmus test donut, so that's what I ate, but I also couldn't help eating the blueberry cake, which was a good decision because it was amazing.
Sweet Shop keeps it delightfully simple. They sell coffee, but it's literally just black coffee for a buck if you want a medium size, or a buck and a quarter if you want a bigger cup. You can doctor your coffee with some creamer and sugar, but this place ain't making you no fancy lattes. Do you drink coffee or don't you? If you actually drink coffee, then the coffee they offer at Sweet Shop should be more than enough for you.
They also sell orange juice and milk (regular, chocolate and strawberry) in plastic bottles, which you'll find in the refrigerated case. Other than that and a couple of little tables, that's all she wrote for Sweet Shop. This place is simple but great. Visit early for the best selection.
