“The food was not necessarily to our taste. BUT that's more a matter of preference and not quality. They had a bunch of keto and vegan and vegetarian options overall a good choice if you have dietary restrictions or adhere to a specific dietary “

“Awesome fresh coffee alevery day. New super tasty drinks always being featured... like the honey and lavender latte 😍. The dulce latte is so perfect to start the day. Not too sweet but the perfect caffeine pick me up! The cranberry orange scones are to die for... and the morning crew is always friendly and FAST to whip out your drink!“

“Winchell's Donut House is my absolute go-to spot whenever I’m craving donuts because, quite simply, they have the best donuts in town. Their selection is always fresh, and the variety they offer is fantastic. From classic glazed donuts to more unique flavors, every donut I've tried there has been consistently delicious. The dough is always soft and fluffy, with the perfect amount of sweetness, and the fillings and toppings are just right, making each bite a real treat.

However, as much as I love their donuts, there's one thing that consistently detracts from the experience: the flies. Every time I visit, I notice an unsettling number of flies buzzing around the store. It’s disappointing because the quality of the donuts is top-notch, but the presence of flies makes the environment less than ideal. I understand that it can be difficult to control, especially in a place where food is constantly on display, but it’s something that really stands out and affects the overall experience.

It’s a shame because Winchell's has so much going for it—the friendly staff, the amazing donuts, and the convenient location—but the flies are a significant drawback. I still go back for the donuts because they’re that good, but I find myself wishing they would take more steps to address the issue. Maybe improved cleanliness practices or better fly control methods could make a difference.

In the end, I highly recommend Winchell's Donut House for anyone looking for delicious donuts, but be aware that the atmosphere might not be the most pleasant due to the flies. I hope they can find a way to resolve this, because without that issue, Winchell’s would easily be the best donut shop around, bar none.“

“This place is SO GOOD. Very impressed.
Think I might become a regular now!
You can tell you are drinking quality coffee from this place and even better it is affordable. Had an iced pistachio latte, tasted way better than Starbucks.“

“Ryan is awesome! Very friendly, kind and professional. He greeted me with a smile and made sure my complicated order was correct. His tone was just beautiful. This is the service I remember from times past. Happy it is making its way back to humanity.“

“Todo es saludable Las bebidas frescas Los antojitos Las smoothies También tienen bebidas calientes“

“Great bagels in a warm cafe setting. All employees are friendly with prompt service. Nice place to meet friends for relaxing conversation , food and coffee“

“They have the best baristas!! The manager is also awesome 💕“

“Stopped here on the road, would recommend. Helped quickly and lots of options. The person working was very nice. I can only speak to the donuts but we enjoyed. Cappuccinos are from a machine but pretty good all the same. Prices were decent too. The bathroom was clean and not locked, gender neutral. The whole place is wheelchair accessible, it looks like, which is great. Doesn't seem like too many options for those with dietary restrictions is the only drawback.“

“Friendly crew, and well-made coffee and coffee-related products, namely peppermint mochas.“

“Each time I've been to this Starbucks, I've been greeted and as I waited for my drink I noticed that they made sure everyone that walks in and walks out is greeted as well. It's great to see that the staff is in good spirits when getting your morning coffee.“
