Got Apple Fritters. They were delicious. 😋

I absolutely love this place! Very clean and they have all different kinds of donuts. My grandkids liked the place as well. They have a little ride that the kids can ride on for. Quarter. Reminds me of my childhood. They also have fresh ground coffee and serve breakfast. We will most definitely be going back.

They are absolutely the friendliest of any service industry place you could visit. I can only imagine they are constantly imbibing of their own heavenly donut holes to maintain those smiles. Just like the glassy, red eyes of a drunken wife, these smiles are inexorably connected to the presence of donuts holes in ones system. The perfected blended glaze coating, that's NEVER gritty nor in short supply, creates a perfect, delicate shell around the noble donut hole. The donut hole itself: a perfectly loyal version of its hooped brethren. Soft and chewy. During the cooking process, the times prior to, and post-absolute donut perfection do not exist to the one responsible for their care. As if their sole purpose is to exist in the moment these treats are ready to be extracted, perform their

On my first visit, I was skeptical of ordering a dozen of the "day old donuts", so I ordered one fresh donut as well to compare the difference. The "day old donuts" were still super soft and exceeded my expectations. My only complaint is that the neon OPEN sign cannot be seen from the highway side of the building. I hadn't ever noticed the place! There is a $4 minimum for credit/debit.

Revised: I decided to try these again and they are awesome! Maybe I just went when they were not fresh or they fixed they ingredients. It was great. I went twice im one day! Worst donuts I ever had. I been there twice each time was equally disgusting. Every time I tried to come there they was closed except twice and donuts where stale both times. I try to go around 10 and 11am.
