| - I saw Misty's review and thought, "5 stars...really Misty?" My wife says, "Go check it out. Misty's a girl-she knows." (which is code for women are always right)
The shop is right on Charleston Blvd in a little strip mall. The exterior of the shop is nothing fancy. The minute you walk in, you notice a good selection of donuts in a case as well as the iron bars that surround them. The iron bars are probably a necessity 1st and then decoration 2nd. Their shop is located on E. Charleston and N 30th Street...I used to work at a production studio a few blocks down from them. Yes, its a kind of rough-ish area, but don't let that scare you off in search of the best of the best....I've seen worst areas in Hawaii, you know the place-mai tai's, sandy beaches, & palm trees.
As for the donuts I picked up a dozen mixed donuts for about $8.50...that's cheap but I have to confess that I was with my daughter and I believe we got the cute girl discount. Good thing she looks like her mother or we might be paying extra LOL!! BTW she walked out with a free chocolate sprinkles donut. We got home and my wife took a bite out of a regular glaze and she looked at the donut, then at the box and says, "Wow these are good, much better then Triendly's and Donald's (the names have been changed to protect their identity)." Those words got my attention double quick, so I took a bite and I have to agree with them. It was good, it was fluffy-ER, the glaze didn't flake off, and even the next day it was still good- even the glaze held up, it didn't melt. We also had chocolate glazed, sugar, maple bars, sprinkles...the usual suspects. They were all good, but it was the fluff of the glazed donuts that did it for us.
i'm a donut snob and I have my favorite places...All I can say is, its a good thing that I don't have to bump anyone off my best places list.
Aloha means goodbye
