★★★★★ 5.0 Anthony Schleck · Jan 2026

The fried chicken was amazing! So crunchy and juicy. Honestly some of the best chicken I’ve had in a while. Donuts were sublime too and so many options. Great coffee.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Justin McBrearty · Aug 2025

The building was formerly an auto mechanic shop, which explains the name and gives the place a unique, quirky style. I’d read rave reviews about their fried chicken sandwich and donuts, so I decided to stop by. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich ($9) and a chocolate cake donut with buttercream icing ($1.50). The sandwich was excellent—the breading was thick and crunchy, which I really enjoyed. The cake donut was also delicious, with a rich chocolate flavor and smooth buttercream on top, and the price is reasonable. There’s plenty of parking, a few outdoor tables with umbrellas, and some indoor seating as well. The staff behind the counter were super friendly and welcoming. If I’m in the area again, I’d definitely stop in for another fried chicken sandwich.

If you haven’t been here, what are you even doing? Great food, great price and great service. Let me start off by talking about their cauliflower “wings” because we went there for a chicken sandwich and these alternative chicken bites took over the show. We love trying new things and cauliflower bites aren’t anything I’ve ever cared for but now its definitely in our list. The chicken sandwich is a must try, if you like the heat I recommend their spicy chicken sandwich. It is consistent with the flavor since the first time we ever got it. To be completely honest We tried all their donuts when they first opened and we didn’t care for them, little too dry and very small selection. I can tell you for a fact that wasn’t the case when we went recently. I completely regret not grabbing more pa

Came here for the first time today super excited! Doughnuts were great and breakfast sandwiches were simple and tasty. However, if you’re a coffee person don’t expect greatness. We ordered a latte and a chai tea, both could certainly use work. The prices and atmosphere are great. Certainly would come back for food, but might hit another coffee shop on the way for drinks.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Debbie Schroeder · Feb 2026

Ordered the original chicken sandwich, deep fried cauliflower, and a pina coloda donut. I liked the chicken 🐔 sandwich alot. The cauliflower was okay and glad I tried it. It came with a zesty sauce. The donut was a cake like donut with pineapple 🍍 frosting and topped with shredded coconut 🥥. Would go back for sure!
