| - Yes. Just yes. Visited for the first time today and it's a good thing I'm only living here for a few more months, because I can see myself getting into a dangerous habit of going here. 6 amazing donuts for $5.30? That's awesome even on my grad student budget! I came in the morning (about 9am) and I'll be interested to see if they're good later in the day, too.
A few notes--there aren't any labels on the trays of donuts in the case. You'll need to either be able to identify things by sight or be able to match the wall-mounted menu to the items in the case. Or you can do like me and just go "that one, the twisty one." They do have a drive-thru--I'll probably do that next time, now that I have an idea of what I like and what they have. Service was no-frills but polite.
Thoughts on the donuts themselves:
yeast donuts with icing were fabulous. FABULOUS. Soft and sweet but with just the right amount of bite so you weren't chewing on air. I had a chocolate frosted with nuts (tasty!) and a maple-frosted (OMGBESTEVER and that's including Tim Hortons in Canada, home of Maple Everything).
Chocolate cake donut (glazed) was pretty good. Nothing to do cartwheels over, but totally acceptable for a cake donut. Hit the spot. I'll probably skip it in favor of yeast donuts, though.
Old-fashioned (glazed) was very good. I ate this one in pieces to savor it. Mmmm!
Also got a twisty donut--possibly a tiger tail? like I said, no labels in the cases. It's a delicious yeast donut with a basic glaze and a chocolate swirl. It's about twice as big as a regular donut and OH, so good.
Last but not least, I was a bit sad they didn't have any ring donuts with icing and sprinkles, so I got a longjohn with chocolate icing and sprinkles. I tend to avoid these because I'm picky about fillings--but wouldn't you know it, there wasn't a filling! Hooray for me! The texture on this one is a bit chewier than the regular yeast donuts, slightly less sweet, but still good. And the icing was just right for keeping the sprinkles stuck to it, too.
Next time I visit I'll probably get a tiger tail and a maple iced donut and call it a day. Getting a half-dozen every time would be far too dangerous! But trust me...I WILL be visiting again. Oh yes.
