So after reading the majority of the reviews for this place I expected nasty people behind the counter and no fritters. I dared go in because I was curious about the supposed glorious doughnuts.
I went there this morning at around 830, and they had plenty of fritters and other kinds of doughnuts. The red headed lady behind the counter was friendly and didn't seemed miffed at all when I asked a couple of questions. She even smiled at me and said "thanks for coming in" as I left. While almost every business trains their employees to say such things, she did not come across as disingenuous.
I picked up some doughnuts and they disappeared quickly when I threw them into the middle of a car full of hungry people, (who were not drunk or high.) They were good. I didn't want to fall down and thank the heavens for them, but they were good enough that'll we'll back.
I'd certainly go here again before going to Lane's down on Park St, that is, unless I wanted all my doughnuts laced with flies.
