| - Stopped by in the morning after doing a search for quick and easy breakfast food, and knowing I missed out on National Doughnut Day, I figured I'd get my fix here without all the crazy lines and hoopla. Being tucked away in a shopping center in Pineville, there was no wait, so I entered hoping to get the full experience and browse around.
There weren't too many options, which was fine, but I thought I'd reserve the right to ask a couple of questions and compare them to the menu prices as they charge differently per style of dougnut. Not sure if it was the owner or employee, but the lady was not friendly and almost rude when I started to ask questions about some of the options. It felt like she wanted me to leave despite nobody else around, so I felt rushed but wanted to try the staples. I ordered the original glazed, a chocolate covered white cream filled doughnut, and the chocolate covered buttermilk doughnut. The original glaze was cold and meh (sorry, high expectations from Krispy Kreme) and the cream filled doughnut was ok, nothing amazing. The buttermilk was the best as it was moist and had the cake-y cruller consistency. If I was in the area, maybe I'd go back to pick more of these up, but not going out of my way.
If a local business wants support, they should do much better on customer service and at least making people feel welcome when they come in. Maybe she was just having a bad day...
