I'm not a fan of the Krispy Kreme donut. Not at all. I like little donut shoppes operated by people and not machines with burnt sienna tables. Al's is just that place.
It's been at its location on Maryland and Harmon for decades, and these puppies are made by hand. The people who come in here are regulars and there's a reason: These doughnuts are simply better. There's no shiny machine, they don't offer you paper hats, but my goodness do they fry up some delicious rings and bars and anything else you can imagine.
