| - Just stopped by after work to give this place another go... Back story though! My first order (about 6 specialties, bout 3 yeast specialties 3 cake specialties) I made was during a holiday, New Years Eve or New Years day, fairly late and I was definitely impressed the first time but only by the yeast donuts really and not so much the cake donuts (fairly dry). So I don't know if it was because it was a holiday and so late I got a stale batch of the cake donuts or something. Eh, still pretty good. The Samoas Hyack I was looking forward to, being a fan of the cookie. It just didn't hit the mark. Cake donut itself was kinda dry like the others, but the toppings itself just didn't smack me in the face like the cookie and it was really the most disappointing out of my order.
I mentioned this to who, I imagine, is the owner tonight and he decided to throw in a Samoas one for free as it is his favorite and was perplexed that I didn't like it. Case closed, this time around it was AWESOME. Took a bite and knew I had to throw up this review asap. I've yet to try the other 6 donuts out, but I'm sure I will enjoy them.
Ultimately, I think the only thing that might hurt this place is the prices BUT being that these are specialty donuts (they have some regular kind too) that's open 24/7, that could be it's saving grace. Plus, out of all the specialty donut places (Pink Box & Donut Bar), this one seems to hit it's mark a lot better. It's not AS expensive either I believe (i.e. someone stating almost $7 for 2 donuts...) I believe their specialties are $1.99-2.50 range and you can get half a dozen specialties for about $10.99 or a dozen for $20. Not too bad. Their donuts are pretty big. Apple fritters were probably the largest I've seen and they were $1.99.
Either way I was pleased the first time with some disappointment, but this 2nd visit definitely swayed me to return a couple more times...
