I gave Granny Mac's three stars instead of five because of the following.
We frequent them on a weekly basis and really love the idea of having a doughnut shop that's so close to home. The doughnuts are made fresh, and they serve excellent coffee. But I have to say that the last few times we've been there, the quality has suffered a bit. It seems as if they have been trying to get control of food costs, as the size of the doughnuts have gotten smaller and smaller (they were already on the smaller side). We really love the apple fritters and they used to be the perfect size a fritter should be. Now it's seems as if they they are half the size, if not smaller. The Bavarian cremes are out of this world! I have never had a Bavarian creme that was this good.
I think that more attention could be payed to the front of the house. The coffee station was depleted and dirty. We mentioned this to the counter girl, and she acknowledged it, but remained at the counter staring off into space, ( trying to wake up I imagine).
This is a really great local bakery that we'd really like to see succeed. But these "little" things will really hurt them.
