I have been enjoying Dudt's donuts at work for over two years now! I have two coworkers who bring them frequently for birthdays and other special occasions. You can definitely taste the difference between a Dudt's donut and the chain competition. I tried to eat a Dunkin donut recently at a work event and literally couldn't finish it.
Because of my positive experience with the product, I was expecting an equally positive experience when I stopped by the shop last week for my husband's birthday. I wanted to pick up a half dozen of cookies to take home to him for his special day.
Though the cookies that I purchased were very tasty, my experience was just...awkward. There were four women working, but none of them acknowledged my presence when I entered the (very small) shop. One of the ladies was blocking most of the counter (standing on the customer side) and it took her some time to realize that I couldn't see what to order due to her standing in the way. As I was leaving, she proceeded to block me from exiting as she picked up some sort of... bug, I think? from the ground inside the shop and placed it not far from the entrance outside.
My whole in-store experience was just strange and I look forward to returning to eating the treats that my coworkers provide, not picking them up myself.
