I called to notify that my donuts were old and dry and was immediately hung up on. With no argument just hung up in my face this was at 9:15pm a young lady answered on 7/5/26. You have nasty customer service. I hope the owner deals with you accordingly. Nasty stale donuts how is this place in business. Charging 3.50 for a dried donut is crazy. Lees is way better and way better customer service. Wasted my money here.

I came in this morning to purchase a box of fresh glazed donuts I paid 13.00 for a half dozen. When I got the box home a half hour later it was filled with old dry donuts. The woman charged me a dollar for a box so I paid 14.00 for a half dozen of day old donuts. I've always received fresh donuts from this place especially early morning. I normally get great quality donuts and service. My receipt says the cashier was Mercedes. I also went early morning around 7:40. I visited this place for years can't recall an incident where I wanted to throw the food in trash like this morning

Great spot to stop by! Super nice and helpful staff. Fresh hot coffee and the donuts are amazing. I got the chocolate bar which has a crème custard filling. The chocolate and custard paired well. I was surprised with the crunch since the inside is so soft and pillowy.

Tried this place for a midnight sugar craving and highly recommend coming here if youβre looking for something quick, fresh and delicious to eat for a sweet treat. These donuts donβt come close to any donuts Iβve eaten in the area before, they are sweet but not sickly sweet, decadent but not too heavy and freshly prepared. They have a bunch of different textures/types, old fashioned which was firm and dense, buttermilk which was rich and less dense, and the cake variant which was fluffy and light. We got 3 - buttermilk chocolate (my personal favorite) old fashioned cinnamon, and cake chocolate. Iβd give them a higher rating if I could. Very affordable too, our order was 8$ Itβs probably not a big deal for regulars, but since it was my first time here I was pretty confused about what was what. Id have loved if the donut displays were labeled/categorized so I didnβt have to bug the staff and ask what each one was. That being said they were helpful and answered my questions which helped me decide what to get. Itβs a busy spot so labeling the display could help take some mental load off the staff. We will be back for sure!
