★★★★☆ 4.0 Hungry Pandas · Jul 2025

Tried out this donut spot and it was okay. The flavors were really creative and you can tell they put effort into the quality, but it’s more of a cake-style donut, which isn’t my personal favorite. It was also on the pricey side. That said, I still appreciate the uniqueness, and if you’re into cake donuts, you’ll probably love it. Just make sure to get there early, they sell out fast!

These donuts are fantastic. Easily our favorite donut spot in DE. So soft and airy. They are a little too sweet for me, however, I do really like them! The south of Boston donut is my favorite! The chocolate glaze is a bit sweet however the cream filling is perfection! We stored the old fashioned in the fridge and ate them the next day. The lemon poppy seed and maple donuts were terrific.

I tried this place today and wow this had to be one of the best donuts that I have ever had. I tried the “uncrustable” donut and it was so yummy. Soft and the cream on the inside wasn’t too sweet or overbearing. Also, the customer service was wonderful. The employees were so kind and friendly! I will definitely be back.

Me and a group of friends headed here before it opened, so we were the first ones in the door! They have a selection of unique artisan flavors, from strawberry balsamic (my choice) to root beer float (which my friend was shocked to discover actually tasted like root beer!). The donut selection changes weekly (I believe) and most donuts cost around $3.25 apiece. I also got a bombastic canned iced coffee for $5, and it was amazing. As someone who doesn't drink coffee, I would drink this everyday if I could. They also sell cute logo stickers for $1.50, but I was shooed out the door by my group, so I settled for peeling the sticker off the top of the donut box. Five stars, would recommend!

Went here on a Friday morning just before the store opened at 8am. The line wasn’t bad and moved fairly quickly, was out and about in 10 minutes, so don’t be discouraged to visit, I’d say it’s worth it. The doughnuts were fluffy and the toppings and fillings have just the right sweetness and savor, definitely an upgrade from Krispy Kreme, haha! One could easily devour 3 of these in one sitting with a good coffee or hot chocolate to boot. Staff had a welcome smile, that’s a plus, especially for a morning. Probably will be back again and try out other flavors when they change.
