I have been meaning to try Jubilee for several weeks now. I will be leaving to go back to NC soon, and I didn't want to take a chance of missing out. Classic donut shops seem to be nonexistent in Charlotte.
Last night, I drove by and decided to stop. The shop was loaded with great looking donuts. This wasn't a pared-down smattering of selections like I have been seeing lately at places that happen to sell donuts. I felt like I was a kid again, getting donuts at the place near the house I grew up in. Only this time the person behind the counter was a bit friendlier (the donut shop of my childhood had a sign on permanent display that read, "I'll smile if you do.")
I got one chocolate-covered cream stick, a sprinkled cake donut with chocolate glaze, and one regular glazed ring. All three were very good. Lately, my donut experiences have been one of disappointment and shame. You know. You pick up, what looks like a scrumptious cream stick--completely denying that it weighs five pounds. You take one bite, and it is stale and flavorless. The shame comes when you decide to just eat it anyway. NOT the case with Jubilee! I couldn't get home fast enough, for I started eating while I was in the car. Definitely going back for some more soon.
