| - Yay! A great donut shop just up the street from me!
Uh oh, this may be bad for my waistline!
Coco Donuts is a cute little donut shop just off of W. Cheyenne. I happened to notice it on my way to the grocery store and I just had to investigate the place. I am so happy I did because Coco Donuts is a great donut shop! Let me tell you why:
1. The customer service is AMAZING! I walked in and was greeted with a gigantic smile and a very happy and genuine, "How are you?" This is the way to get my attention and my business for sure. The lady working the counter was so cheerful and a pleasure to deal with. There were so many sweet options, I was a little overwhelmed. She was offering advice and totally selling me on some of her fantastic donuts. I love this store just for her now! It seems so rare to get awesome customer service these days that when I do get it, I am shocked/pleased/mind-blown all rolled up into one. Yay for happy people and good customer service! Coco's definitely gets a bonus star for customer service!
2. The store's selection! This shop is all about the classic donuts you have always known and loved. Yes, every now and then I want a crazy donut with ridiculous toppings, but usually I just want a really good glazed donut or a chocolate covered twist. Yummm. This shop is filled with the oldies but goodies like glazed, maple, coconut, cinnamon crumb, blueberry, sugar, and of course chocolate covered. This is just the tip of the iceberg of their selection. They had at least 20 varieties when I was there and that was at the end of the day! I can't wait to check it out earlier in the day to see even more varieties. And for your croissant lovers, they have them too!
3. The the donuts! First off, they are huge! The circle donuts were easily the size of a CD and at least 1.5 in thick. The bar style are at least 6in long and the same height. Seriously big donuts. The donuts are light and airy, but with substance behind it. They hold up to the toppings, but then almost melt in your mouth when you bite into them. I had a maple bar and it was delish. I stole a bite of my hubby's chocolate covered twist and it was delightful. I also snuck a bite of my daughter's sprinkle donut and it was like a party in my mouth. (You would think I would be 700lbs always stealing bites of their food, but that is a topic for another day!) These are really great tasting donuts. Woohoo for tasty treats!
4. The prices! 1 donut starts at $.95, 1/2 dozen starts at $5.50 and a dozen starts at $9.50. As for the crossaints, they were $1.50-$2.95. Pretty decent prices for really good quality donuts and croissants. They also have coffees, teas, hot chocolate, and other drinks starting at $1.50, so you can get a fun, sugary snack for super cheap!
5. They have cronuts! I Cronuts are all the rage right now and usually hard to find, but not at Coco Donuts! They have several varieties from plain, chocolate covered, cream filled, just to name a few. I had a glazed one and found it quite tasty. I am not a cronut-a-holic like many people, but I do think that Coco has had the best that I have tried to date.
So the donuts are yummy, the staff is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. This shop is a home run in my book!
