| - While this place is called "Donut Land" don't be discouraged if you are a muffin lover, they carry those here too. The location has been the same for the past decade or so next to the Walgreen's so most of the interior is original to the store as once when it opened.
It is very small on the inside with the counter on the left side to sit at and order and tables to the right where you can sit at and eat but there are only a few of these so it is best to just order and go if you don't want to stay. If you get bored, they also have vintage game machines in the backroom that still work to this day. The same can be said for the old soda machine next to the door...retro flashbacks anyone? The store is also very clean for its size and age but you will see the occasional crumb or two but nobody's perfect, it's not disgusting to sit in at all.
Moving the store itself aside, the donuts are what makes this donut shop the ideal place to visit on any morning. They have a large selection of any donut you can think from the traditional jelly donuts to chocolate éclairs and even to muffins if that's your taste. Some other donuts that they have are custard, chocolate frosted, cinnamon, glazed, and "long johns" which are essentially many donuts in one long rope topped with either chocolate icing or vanilla crème. If you wish to try this, I highly recommend the vanilla crème one If you don't care about what you put in your body. Even though we went late in the day, it still tasted fresh and was worth the price paid for it (around $1.19). They also have amazing apple fritters if you are into those, which is what I sampled from my brother and I can say it is better then any other fritter I have tasted in the area.
As I may not have said, it is best to come here in the morning because by noon, most of the popular donuts will be wiped out completely as most people come here around 7 to 10am to get them so come around when the store opens if you want to get the donut that you want. If you want that ideal donut at noon, it won't be very likely as if they are out of a certain flavor of donut, it will take at least a day for them to make again.
So how about the prices? Well as some people are saying, they are a bit expensive compared to the chain places around the area but considering the great quality put into these donuts, an extra ten cents there is worth it when it comes to flavor.
A bit sad that I can only come here about once a year or so but every time I stop by Brunswick again, I will definitely make sure to stop here for breakfast before I head out to enjoy the day...I mean, how can you resist donuts? Or well, if you don't really like those, how can you resist muffins?!
