This was my first time visiting this shop. It is located in a quaint plaza on the corner of the plaza. Inside, you will be surprised with donuts, ice cream, and chips, and I believe I read smoothies! I was greeted upon entry by what was a shy gentleman. Upon looking over their selection of various donuts, a female employee came in and was very pleasant during my visit. I ordered half a dozen mixed variety. To include original glaze, twister, raspberry filled, and chocolate glaze. I would say that the original glaze was my favorite as it was very light and fresh.

This hole-in-the-wall donut shop is fantastic. Baller little bodega-lookin’ donut shop. The donuts are fresh, lovingly made and eye-catching; soft, but with a slight chewy crisp. Dude at the counter was a boss. This is the one. Try this one.

They don't have kolaches but the guy suggested the best breakfast sandwich in Tacoma. That sausage croissant is certified. YES in all caps. I planned on taking pics but ate it too fast. Add a Italian steamer and a blueberry donut and it's still just $8. Yum!

What an amazing donut shop! Excellent selection and the donuts seemed very fresh. I had a maple bar and a plain donut, and both were absolutely delicious with a really nice flavor and subtly crispy-fried texture. Absolutely the best donuts I've had around here, far better than Top Pot, Safeway, QFC, etc.
