Knowing that customers, vendors and co-workers drop off dozens of donuts from the huge chain, manufactured donut companies often, I was anxious for some sugar spiking in my blood.\n\nWalking to their desks I was shaken to my core (which happened to be a ravenously angry and empty stomach) - when he was merely offering up mini donuts from the vending machine.\n\nThis simply would not do. Do you hear me? It. Would. Not. Do.\n\nI explained my desire for fresh donuts, not that packaged trash. They asked if I wanted to make a donut run. I said yes! They started asking for me to go to one of the chain places, I said Nay! If I was making a donut run, I was getting Real Donuts. \n\nOf course, they started naming off a different chain every time I would say, \"No, real Donuts.\" Finally, I had to explain that was the name of the place that was going to satisfy my sugar craving.\n\nFinding their location, I walked in to a pretty busy donut shop. Good sign! \n\nWhen it got to my turn, the helpful girl behind the counter started grabbing everything I needed. When i got to the ham & cheese croissant part of the order, she gave me the option of hot or cold. Figure if we're going to go for it, go the whole 9 and went hot. \n\nReturning to work, I handed out everybody their treat and sat down at my desk to dive into mine.\n\nThe raised cake donut was about 2x the thickness of one of those \"other\" places' donuts. I took a bite and my taste buds nearly fainted at the flavor. It was an instant throw back to jr. high and getting donuts after school at a local bakery, only better! I finished the donut and tackled the holes I picked up. \n\nBite sized doses of glazed sugary goodness were devoured in mere seconds.\n\nThis is definitely a place I will be returning to, as often as my pancreas can handle."^^ . .
