| - Being a donut fiend, I had to try this place out and had it bookmarked. If you do not know what to expect, you may not have an enjoyable experience.
This is more of a dessert than a have-for-breakfast type of donut. The donuts are all cake donuts, no raised glazed. They offer several glazes and several toppings. Just go to their website and look at them all. They also have popular or pre-fab combinations. Of course, you can just make up your own combinations. You go in, take an order form, fill out what you want and how many of each you want, then give it to the cashier.
You donuts, or in this case as they spell it--doughnuts--are then made fresh. There is a slick machine that a person cranks and it bloops out the exact amount of doughnut dough in a perfect circle into the shortning. A conveyor then properly cooks it and turns it. Then another person takes the doughnut, reads your order, and plops it into the various glazes and puts on the toppings.
We ordered a dozen in a dozen of their flavor combinations to test out. Since we just finished eating supper, I was the only one that had one fresh. And it was really pretty tasty Very tasty It was the Key Lime doughnut. The doughnut itself was nice and crispy on the outside and cake-y fluffy on the inside. Yummy.
We then went home to Tucson. Later that evening, we all tried several. In the few hours where they cooled down, they didn't taste as good to me as when it was hot and fresh. Keep in mind that all the flavors are artificial. The colors are bright as a result of heavily artificial flavors and coloring. We were not too impressed. As a matter of fact, as much as our family LOVES doughnuts, these sat around our house for three days without being eaten and were eventually thrown away.
So here's my tip: treat this as a dessert and just order one or maybe two for you. They are always made fresh to order, so you will have a hot doughnut that will be crispy on the outside and fluffy on the outside. Then you will enjoy thiis doughnut more. Don't buy a dozen unless your party is large enough to eat them right away.
