Customer Reviews
I’ve been a loyal customer at this donut shop for years since the days when a woman with glasses and fluent English ran the counter. But recently, both in-store and at the drive-thru, I’ve had ongoing issues. Several staff members have limited English proficiency, which leads to constant misunderstandings. I find myself having to repeat my orders multiple times, often being charged the wrong amount, and even receiving incorrect items because they don’t understand what I asked for. The owner is fantastic when he’s there, everything goes smoothly but when others work, it falls apart. I really hope they hire someone fluent in English because, as a regular, I just want a quick, reliable breakfast stop
This used to be my favorite donut shop but its gone way downhill over the last couple years. My last 3 trips here have been absolutely disappointing. I have gone early in the morning and they don't have any chocolate or regular glazed donuts. I have also gone later (around 10am) including today, same thing. Nothing left but scraps. I don't like many other shops because the chocolate tastes like nail salon chemicals. Been a good run here but looks like its over for me.
These donuts are the best I’ve ever had! I don’t like a lot of donut places because the donuts are dense and it feels like you’re eating a bagel or a muffin or something, and the icing is too sugary and crystallized. These donuts are so light and fluffy, and the icing is delicious! ❤️
The donuts are amazing. The last three Sundays, we’ve stopped and gotten some, but those same Sunday nights have resulted in our family having a stomach flu. I’m not positive that this place is the reason, but it’s the only commonality. Sorry, but we won’t be back.
We visited this donut shop for the first time a couple weeks ago while visiting my parents, and it is unlikely we will return. The staff was very nice, but there were flies all in the donut cases because of the drive thru window. I’m talking, 10 flies just walking all over the donuts and kolaches. Pretty disgusting. The cases are right under the window so I’m sure it’s hard keeping them from coming in, but maybe the owners could install something that would close off the casing from the back, like a sliding door on the case so that it’s harder for the flies to get in. I’m sure I’ve eaten my fair share of food walked in by flies, but seeing it first hand was enough to turn me off from this place.
