| - We used to go to this other donut place close to our house, but have stopped patronizing them because of their rude costumer service. Last Mother's Day, my hubby asked me where I wanted to go, and since I have been craving donuts and had the donut bar bookmarked for a while, I asked to go here. It was quite a bit of a drive considering we live in southwest, but we decided to go anyway. We got here around 12:30-1ish, and they only had a few selections left. Don't know if it was because it was Mother's Day, but the lady behind the counter informed us that because of the limited selection, we could get a box for $10 and fill it with as much donuts as we could fit. Although the creme brûlée donut was sold out and it was slim pickins, we were still able to get a decent amount of very yummy donuts. What would normally be a donut worth $3 a pop, we were able to get a full box for only $10! My favorite amongst our choices was the caramel latte donut. I thought it would have been too sweet, but it was actually just the right amount of sugar. Another favorite was the espresso donut, even though I'm not a big fan of the cake kind. We brought the box back to my in-laws house, and everyone was raving about the donuts.
Fast forward to today-- My husband, son, and I had a hankering for donuts and braved the early Sunday morning drive to downtown. We got to the donut bar just a couple minutes shy of 8am and there was already a long line outside the door, waiting for the store to open. When 8am rolled around, the chef (?) opened the door and gleefully greeted the people waiting in line, and then proceeded to usher everyone in. We could smell the freshly made donuts before even stepping foot inside the store, which only fueled our hunger more. Upon stepping inside, it was such a different experience from when we went during Mother's Day. The cases were full of different flavored donuts, both fried and cake donuts alike. I truly felt like a kid in a candy store! The girl behind the counter offered our son a free inside-out themed donut, which I thought was really thoughtful-- they really cater to their customers at this place! Anyways, it was so hard for me to order since I wanted to try everything!!!! But we settled on the French toast donut (which was made to order ), a creme brûlée donut (obviously a crowd favorite), a Samoa, and a chocolate euphoria for my son. The French toast donut was good, different, and well worth a try. The cup of stumptown coffee they serve there went great with the donut. The Samoa was pretty good but, as I'm not a big fan of cake donut (my hubby is), I think I can pass on that next time. My son enjoyed his chocolate euphoria, and started picking on the chocolate shavings as soon as the donut arrived. Last but not the least, the star among the donuts we chose, the creme brûlée donut. It was quite small, but for only 2 bucks, it was a steal! My hubby did say that the caramelized sugar on top was a bit thick, but we both agreed that the donut was great and surprisingly not as sweet as we thought it would be. The creme brûlée filling was smooth and velvety, just how it should be, and accompanied the donut very well. I would honestly come back here just for another one of that donut, but I would be lying if I didn't say I want to try more. I might just have to make it mandatory that we go here every Sunday so we could try out a different donut each time. The strawberry shortcake donut they had looked mighty good, as well as the s'mores donut... I'm drooling just thinking about it XD
Although there are plenty other donut shops close to our house, the drive to downtown just to go to donut bar is well worth it. Not only are their donuts great, but all the associates we've had the chance to encounter were all so sweet, helpful, and personable. No wonder people keep flocking this place. Customer service is obviously a priority on their list, and there is nothing better than that... Aside from the donuts, of course lol. Donut bar, you have just gained new loyal customers who will try to frequent your place every Sunday :)
