Pros:
Creative Flavors
Cute Little Donuts
Smells Yummy Inside
The donuts are okay and some flavors are pretty creative. It's not worth the price, since I've had way better FULL-SIZED donuts for less or the same price. The shop is very tiny so any more than 3 people inside at a time makes you feel as if you are trapped in a cardboard box.
The pricing can be a little deceptive, because the photo display seems to only show the Signature or more expensive donuts without telling you their price. The cashier may tell you that a dozen is around 7.50 or so, but that is only if you stick to basically the sugar dusted donuts, like powdered or cinnamon sugar. If you choose any of the other flavors you will be charged about a dollar per donut even though they won't let you know when you are picking your flavors. It cost me a little over $13 for a dozen (since I got mostly Signature Donuts without knowing it). I got: S'mores, Samoa, Strawberry Shortcake, Maple & Bacon, Oreo and Coconut.
These are pretty dense cake donuts which I don't mind, but some of my friends didn't like it. I don't think my donuts were that fresh, which is what I was hoping for. Almost all of the donuts were REALLY SWEET and not enjoyably so (this coming from someone who likes to sneak and eat sugar cubes like popcorn every once in a while). Everyone enjoyed the Maple & Bacon flavor the most (because the large chunks of bacon helped balance out the super sweet maple frosting). I liked the Samoa the most because it's one of my favorite type of cookie! The Strawberry Shortcake was sickeningly sweet so I didn't finish it and the other flavors were just okay....MEH
Overall the donuts are just alright and for the price I would expect better. If the donuts were outstanding price would not have been such an issue for me (but they weren't). It's a cute place to take your kids for a little snack if you are in the area, but if you are looking for something outstanding this is not the place. I would never travel out of my way to get these donuts, but I do plan to try another location (possibly Oakland) at a different time to see if I can get good fresh donuts before I give up completely on this little shop.
