I do enjoy stumbling upon local mom-n-pop shops, especially when they're good! This donut shop is a mere hop, skip, and a jump from my office at UNLV, which means too much sugary temptation during the afternoon slump.
I bought a couple of chocolate iced and vanilla iced donuts -- with sprinkles! -- and the first bites revealed pure yumminess. The girl behind the counter said that those were the freshest. They were! Donuts are under a dollar each, which makes it easy on the budget when you're craving a sugary something or other.
I'm sure the offerings are even better first thing in the morning, when a lot of the donuts are made.
In addition to donuts, one can purchase sandwiches here! (?) I'll think about trying one of those next time.
Al's Donuts is located behind the 7-11, a few doors down from Roberto's Taco Shop.
