| - My friend and I didn't like the vibe we got from this place... maybe cause we weren't regular/we-know-how-to-order peeps, but the lady should have treated us with equal courtesy and service as the other people there.
Friend and I trekked all the way here for a little over an hour drive to try these donuts we've been salivating about on Instagram. Checked out their website for the "donut schedule" for the Friday, and according to their website they should have had: Honey Cruller, Nutella Bomb,Fluffernutter, Jacked up Maple Bacon, Red Velvet, Custard Bomb, Blueberry Cheesecake, and Chef Special. Our day of visit, the Chef Special was cookies and cream and it had the chocolate shot/syringe on it.
Came in a little under 2 hours before closing, so I guess I kinda understand why they had only 4/8 flavours available, but in all honesty I was a bit bummed. Thought they would have more on display of the 4 flavours they had left. I wanted to make the trip worth it, since I lived borderline Scarborough/Pickering and all, so my friend and I bought 1/2 dozen each for our fam. Lady was kinda snappy when I asked her a question, so I felt uncomfortable and rushed, as did my friend. If you order the fixed price 1/2 Dozen, you can only get 1 special donut, the one with a shot. Friend asked if that was all the donuts they had because a girl behind her also wanted the 1 of 2 custard donuts that were left and the lady said "Yeah". I scanned the back of the store and saw another baker lady making/preparing something, and saw racks of ready donuts at the back. Idk the background story of those donuts because for all I know those could be advanced orders or something, but what really put me off is when a group of patrons that were chilling in the front asked the lady, "Hey what about us?", as she was preparing my friend's order, and she replied "Don't worry, you're covered." So clearly there was some sort of bias thing going on? Idk. But as people who wanted to try and support their business, we weren't given the best service. Not very good impressions.
I alone spent a little over 20 bucks, cause I also got one S'mores cookie. That was really really good, 9/10. The donuts I got (red velvet, custard, honey cruller, cookies and cream) were overall 8/10. I didn't like the honey cruller because it was a little bit overcooked for my liking. I think aesthetics and visual novelty of the donuts were their only saving grace. Idk if I'll be back again... maybe not for the donuts...and maybe if I wanted to tour some peeps if I'm ever in the area.
