I was very excited to try this new place, as I drive by during my morning school route every day. I finally had a few extra minutes and stopped. By 745, there are already a few empty trays. It was fine as I figured maybe people just love this place. I really wanted to try their cheesecake that i saw is kept in the coolers by the windows. I'm pretty sure they all had mold! I was very disappointed. I understand things can be overlooked on accident, but it makes me wonder how sanitary and safe this place really is. I was scared to try anything else but did purchase a bakery item. It was ok. I asked for a late and cashier said she was in training & only knew how to make coffee. Her manager was not there. I was ok with this as everyone needs a chance to learn. Not the best experience overall. Will not be visiting ever again.

Honestly, I didn't have high expectations when I walked in. Outside looked run-down. It was deserted when I walked in, the decor came off as slightly sketchy and most of the shelves were empty in the afternoon, a couple hours before close on Saturday.

After a couple minutes of us walking around aimlessly and almost walking out, the storeperson showed up and offered a donut hole to try.

We were hooked. Super sugary, but super soft with a slighty pull to their chew and slowly melting in your mouth. The lemony vanilla glaze was also something I wasn't prepared for. Walked out with a dozen. For all its misgivings on the point of ambiance, it makes up for it in donut quality. The prices were a steal too.

Great donut selection. Had not been there since the Donut Crawl in 2014. Donuts are as good as I remembered.

Best apple fritter in town. The donut holes are delightful.

Looks disorganized, cluttered, and dirty. Doughnuts were just okay, very dense. Coffee came from a Kurig... drinks were like children's drinks, 6oz juice boxes, and a few other random drinks. I'm not impressed and won't be back.

Doughnuts and rolls have too much glaze in them. There is no place to sit and talk. The place looks like a morgue with all the lights off.

I just stopped in here for a twist (although they were out I don't blame them for that). I was here about two weeks ago and was able to purchase two twists at that time, they were delicious and worth coming back for. I'm rating low for atmosphere though because of a wasp infestation. I was hoping that the problem would have been corrected in the last couple of weeks but it has not. Both times I have visited the display cases are open in the back and wasps are everywhere. By that I mean they are crawling all over the donuts and whatever other sweet items strike their wasp fancy. I'm not a huge fan of wasps in general, but it grossed me out that they are crawling all over the donuts.
