| - We were having our vehicle serviced so we decided to stop-in since we were in the vicinity. Not to mention a friend of ours loves him some AL kronuts.
It was a Saturday afternoon, the dining area was clear of any other patrons, and greeted almost immediately. I was quite surprised to see how much bigger it was on the inside. Driving by I always imagined it to be some small donut shop like Ronald's donuts on Spring Mountain. It also is modern in decoration.
So the menu posted on the front of the store shows they offer banh mi sandwiches and other such sandwiches and burgers. It was lunchtime, we just came back from our son's football game, so everyone was hungry. Thought how perfect that there was food options aside from donuts, cronuts, and burgers.
However, when we went to order they did not have anything we asked for. Sorry, we no longer sell banh mi, sorry we don't have the pork n slaw sandwich we just the chicken n slaw...just felt like way too much sorries in such a time span. But okay, option B...vegeterian sandwich for me, buffalo chicken sandwich for the boy, and chicken with fries for all the other boys.
I actually thoroughly enjoyed my vegeterian sandwich which had red peppers, lettuce, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, cilantro, and I even think there was a squirt of balsamic in there. Perfect! Loved it all. I think the bun made the experience even more enjoyable, it just seemed the bun was more on the gourmet side. Their chicken strips comes with two big pieces, two big juicy pieces, so my boys thoroughly enjoyed it. My other son enjoyed his buffalo sandwich so I suppose that was a good sign, or perhaps they were all starving that anything would've been deelish.
Now, you don't come here, realistically, for food as your main goal. The husband ordered the maple bacon cronut. We were told anything which has chocolate or maple on top, Bavarian cream filled it is. I'm allergic to chocolate (the horror...I know), and bacon atop of a do/cronut isn't something that appeals to me. Soooo...I opted for the lemon powdered cronut with lemon filling. So good. Loved that. However, twas abit disappointing to see that there wasn't much selections in regards to their kronuts.
I then decided to try "bacon atop of a do/cronut isn't something that appeals to me" because the husband offered for me to try his; besides, I need to live life on the edge sometimes (as if jumping out of airplanes isn't living enough).
It turned out to be alot better than I imagined. I love croissants, actually. It being a "donut"-- genius. I find cronuts being less sweet than an actual donut. I don't know why, perhaps it's the butter in a croissant that offsets the sweetness..but in my opinion, it just is.
I could only give them 3 stars for having items posting infront of their business, even inside their business, yet no longer offering them, lacl pf kronut selection, and for having a really gross bathroom. Nothing like walking into a bathroom seeing someone's explosion still on the toilet like shadows imprinted against the wall (proving how strong the explosion was). The dining room floor was pretty dirty too. I feel like a facility that is clearly slow should have no excuse as to why it is dirty. We hung out in there for a good hour and then some. In that time we were the only ones in there aside from another family who came.
I'm not really one with a sweet tooth, I do enjoy sweet things on occasion...I crave a donut a couple times a year (seriously. Sometimes I don't crave it all). After trying Als, it not being a place out of our way, I can imagine coming back a couple times a year to satisfy such craving. It's worth a try and worth returning if you are in the vicinity or got a love for such. The cronuts itself, I'd give a 4 star rating.
Almost forget to mention the service was not bad at all. I could tell the girl working the front felt bad for no longer serving the items we were intending on ordering.
Definitely kid and stroller friendly!
