Donut tasted like it was made at Walmart and was really dry

Great place to go in and grab a donut. Both donuts weren’t stale like other reviewers have said. Would recommend if you’re in a rush and want a sweet treat

This is a great niche place in a historic building with the best donuts! We had the s'more, peanut butter cup and caramel donuts and they were delicious, fresh and just what we craved after walking all morning. The gentleman behind the counter was patient and kind, service with a smile, so rare these days. We plan to visit this spring and this is a definite must visit!

At the end of the day, we purchased just under a dozen donuts to share because we went back three times. Another reviewer compared it to a stale Entimmen’s donut. Ours were fresh, chewy, and the toppings were the right level of sweetness. We only have two photos to share because we ate the rest!

Maybe one of the greatest names of a donut shop ever. But the product does not live up to the name
I had a donut that cost $4.50 and it was no better than a two week old Enterman’s donut from a grocery store.

What it lacked and freshness and quality, it made up for in the ability to give me indigestion.

This place has the potential to be great but just wasn’t! It’s easy to stumble upon as you walk around Salem. I want to smell donuts when I walk into a donut shop and this place doesn’t smell like donuts or coffee. I don’t think the donuts are made there because there were tubs of wrapped donuts on a counter. None of the equipment in the place looks used at all, it was kind of weird. And the donuts we got from the display area were cold (nothing more disappointing than a COLD apple cider donut in a brisk day) and they were not fresh. The girl working was nice. The coffee and cider were nothing special. The cider looked like Kirkland brand from a gallon jug and the coffee was poured but you add your own sweetener that is sitting out on the only table in the place. Nowhere to really sit and enjoy your goodies. Probably because they aren’t good. It was super expensive for really crap quality stuff. Didn’t realize until after we paid. Oh and they add a 10% “Wellness Fee” on top of the $5+ dollar donuts and drinks. Just not a great experience at all.

Diana was more than hospitable friendly and happy to help me out with my purchase of delicious donuts. I’m looking forward to coming back with more friends to point them in the direction of great donuts blessed for her hospitality thank you again.

Horrible place. Worst donuts I've ever had. Harder than a piece of metal. Don't come here. Very expensive as well.

I think the name is misleading, doughnuts taste like they are two weeks old. Nothing super amazing about this place. Wouldn’t waste your time.

What a wonderful donut stop.

The inside was small but the donuts were very delightful. Not so much a sit and stay but a grab wonderful donuts and go (unless I missed another room).

From plain glazed to the rest I was happy with each one we tried.

This was such a disappointing experience. The name intrigued me and I absolutely love donuts so I gave it a chance. It was a bit of a hole-in-the-wall place, but sometimes those are the best kept secrets. The floors were so sticky, which was disconcerting, and 4 simple donuts (2 apple ciders and 2 chocolate frosted) were $20+!!! For being some of the most expensive donuts I’ve ever bought, they must be good right? These were easily the absolute worst donuts I’ve ever had! Both my husband and I had one bite of each one and were done. They were stale and had the weirdest processed flavor. Don’t let the cute name fool you and take your money else where.
