The lady behind the counter was friendly and recommended to me the popular flavors as it was obvious I had never been here before. There is a fixed price for a dozen donuts (around $14) but any fewer, you have to pay individually per donut. I went with the apple fritter, cinnamon roll, cinnamon glaze donut, coconut donut, sour cream donut, and blueberry cake donut. I was pleasantly surprised when the lady told me she'd throw in 2 original glazed and a chocolate glazed cake donut for free! Here's my ranking in order of decreasing preference:
- apple fritter: large, cinnamon-y and with the most flavor and glaze (but could do with more apple chunks) prob the best in CLT
- sour cream: very moist (sorry) and just so good
- original glaze: pillow soft, very light
- blueberry cake donut: tastes like a blueberry muffin with glaze, really sweet
- cinnamon roll: pretty average
- coconut: good if you like coconut
- cinnamon glaze: tastes like the cinnamon roll in donut form
- chocolate glaze cake: cake donut itself was a bit too dry and icing ratio was off
Overall, for 9 donuts I paid less than $10, which is solid and much cheaper than "trendier" establishments. I also like that most options, especially the yeast donuts, were super light, soft, and airy so I didn't feel extremely gross and heavy after eating them. I wish they had more unique flavor combos; they seem to just stick to the classics but they do it well. There are a few tables inside too, but the place is pretty sparsely decorated.
