“Tried this place as I felt stupid going to McDonald's where nothing particularly sucks but nothing is actually that good either. It's a safe coward's choice. So, perhaps it's worth the extra half mile down the road to Dunkin and I'd heard that the coffee was good. The good news is that the coffee, at least the Midnight variety, is tremendous. I'd drink that stuff all day. The bad news is that I'd be a nervous wreck if I did as it's also really, really caffeine heavy. Not a bad thing, just can't drink a load of it without being jittery for hours. Obvious really, though I could drink at least as much of the Circle K stuff, no problem there. The food was also tremendous, I thought a donut would be a donut but theirs are better. More rich in flavor, more genuine in flavor. The chocolate actually tastes like chocolate, not sweet brown paste like I'd accepted as the norm if I didn't want to make my own. The people who work there were nice enough. What I took exception to was my impression that they think each customer has gone through the same orientation and briefing on store policy that they have. I haven't and don't plan on it. So, when I placed an advance order, went up to the counter to get it, and I get a profoundly confused look from the staff, looking around at each other as if they can't believe that I don't know you don't go to the counter after placing an order. It's in the rack to the far end of the counter. How stupid of me, I'm sorry I didn't know the rules, please forgive me.I'll be back though, the coffee is that good, I don't think I'll be preordering the donuts though. If you don't guess what's available, you just get what they feel like giving you. No blueberry? Well, you get chocolate glazed instead even though you already have two of the double chocolate, everyone wants more chocolate, right? No, I wanted the blueberry because I already had the chocolate covered. You will be relying on their common sense as to what would be a good substitution. Guess what? Common sense is not that common.“
