Can’t judge the service or the atmosphere because I didn’t get my hand pie from the actual store. I actually got my hand pie from Yoders in Madison Va. yesterday. It was not until today when I ate my hand pie, was looking at the rapper and discovered my hand pie was not actually made at Yoders, but was made by The Donut Kitchen. It is a very good hand pie. It is actually an excellent hand pie. I have no complaints about it. Please don’t ever change it. Are you guys by chance Amish or Mennonite or former? It doesn’t matter because your hand pie is amazing. I’m just curious. Now that I know you have a standalone bakery when I am back in Charlottesville I’ll be sure to come check you out.

Tremendous donuts…although all donuts are good…Some are better. This blueberry/glazed twist knot might be the best donut in my life. ( 62 yo) . Though I am a fan of jelly( fruit) filled donuts….next time will try the jelly.

Recently had a liver transplant at UVA. We came there for a follow up this morning. The raspberry fried pie is decadent & should be illegal! I just told my husband we NEED to go back for Valentine’s Day!!! The don’t have these in Richmond!

It's so good. Nice, large, fresh donuts. These donuts are mostly the traditional yeast variety, about double the size of KK or DD. I thought they had a good ratio of donut to icing/glaze, not excessively sweet. And the filled donuts had a proper amount of cream or jelly. It would be nice to have a clearer differentiation between the premium and regular donuts, as the premium are not included the 1/2 doz. special. Service was very friendly, though it is a tight space and could cause a constricted line during busy times. They only have 6-8 varieties at one time, so don't expect to order 2 dozen expecting all different flavors.
