I wish I could give a good review, because I liked the idea of being able to go somewhere and watch gourmet donuts being made. I thought kids would love the experience.
I'm not sure how long they have been open, but I heard employees talking about the last of the vouchers being used before they expire. This tells me they haven't been open long.
So we go in and the place is nice looking upon first glance. Trendy and all. Then you look down at the floors and notice that they need to be steam cleaned.
We ordered our donuts and we're excited about the flavors. Then they make the donuts on a back counter that can't be seen by kids without lifting them up. So I lift the kids one at a time over and over so that they don't miss out on part of the experience. Talk about a missed opportunity. At the very least, put
Some stools, steps, or mirrors so that kids can see. Talk about a missed opportunity.
The donuts come and none of us really liked them. My kids will usually eat 2-2.5 donuts. They took a couple bites and were done. Not full or satisfied, Just done.
I tried mine and was done before completing the donut, It was very Unmemorable.
During their few bites, they did make a mess on their hands and faces, so I had to go into the bathroom to get wet paper towels. This was a mistake. The bathroom was NASTY! Trash and grime all over the floors, toilets and sinks were very dirty. I've seen gas stations with cleaner restrooms, these look like they hadn't been cleaned in a few days. Which for a business, is pretty gross. For a food provider, it's really gross. One of my Kids had to use the bathroom so we went into the second of the restrooms. Is was no better, thankfully he didn't have to sit. I even hesitated to take his service dog in with him for fear that she'd track some of the mess back to our car.
All said, I wanted to have a better opinion of this place, but just can't. I'm not uptight either, I have plenty of country boy in me. But for a place in this location that advertises Gourmet anything, it should be good and it should be clean.
