| - I honestly don't know what could possibly be improved here. Excellence has already been achieved.
As a nightcap to an early date night, Reigning Doughnuts was actually pretty easy to find! Parking in NoDa is always a nightmare but there are plenty of places in the neighborhoods to find spaces. I feel like Wreck it Ralph was walking out of Growlers one day, got mad, and punched a hole in the backside. A perfect place for a doughnut shop to move in, right?
Two adorable green shutters are on either side of the order wall - your doughnut options are on the right, beverage selections on the left. They have their staples, but will always have a rotational doughnut. Our option? Peanut butter glaze with banana chips. We also got honey glazed and cinnamon sugar. All of them were ridiculously good - the base has a crunch to it but is soft on the inside. If I'm going to cheat on Krispy Kreme (the only true doughnut, fight me), it's with these guys.
This is a grab and go-place, not a hang around and check out the merchandise place. It's as bare boned as you can get, and that's totally great. With the right prices, made-to-order product, and fast service, Reigning Doughnuts is a faaaaaanntastic addition to Noda, Charlotte, and my diet :)
