Not a better donut anywhere IMO!! After 30 years of the freshest, tastiest donuts we've ever had. They also make the best Apple Fritters and CRONUTS!!! Their glazed has a light shell to it which is their special touch that adds so much!! Recommend!

Had an iced Chai latte. Got a couple of donuts to share with mom, they snuck in 2 donut holes. All was really good, soft & gooey fillings. Will be back.

Delicious! First time there and I got the SB egg bagel, a fruit filled pastry and chocolate donut. They were also amazing! The ladies working there are so kind and make the sandwich on the spot. Plenty to choose from. ?

Tried stopping In the AM to get some donuts for my children . Don’t bother costumer service is terrible . Very rude employees. They need to train them on how to treat people, and show respect .

The apple fritters are the best ever. light and crispy on the outside and like cake on the inside. had a bit everyday over 4 days and savored it. Oh and also loved the cinnamon rolls which were cooked to perfection and not gummy dough like the place i had this week. if only they could ship too me in san jose california. there is no place here that makes apple fritters as well!! service was excellent as i ordered and got my requested items quickly with a smile on all of our faces. Definitely like the location with close by memories of my dads office at the Mercado and my fried Jim from College!

Stopped in trying to get some breakfast and donuts. If your expecting any breakfast sandwiches, don’t bother. The donuts did look really good. Maybe next time.

They sell and advertise bagel w/cream cheese and bagel sandwiches but don't offer "bagel service". I asked for a bagel toasted with cream cheese, and their response was we don't do that but they could offer a side of cream cheese with a bagel. I asked if they could at least cut the bagel in half and their response was "we don't do bagel service". They aren't welcoming/friendly and the no bagel service is strange to me. I get they must be understaffed but you can't step in the back for less than a minute and slice a bagel?? I only come here because it's on my way to my kids school and to work and im disappointed every time. I would much rather go to Spudnuts on upper state which is not as conveniently located by me but they have great customer service and food. Won't be back again!

Decent donuts but unfriendly staff. Note they also don’t take Apple Pay and charge you a fee for card purchases under $8.

One of the best donut shops in town. We have been coming for over 30 years. There have been several ownership changes. Unfortunately they do not accept Apple Pay and that is the only form of payment that I now use so I am unable to enjoy Also, the character of the store has changed, it is no longer a cute donut shop but instead has a mini market, feel with candies cookies and Thai food.

Nice people good donuts but they are expensive. Not much on atmosphere so it's a grab and go place.

The best doughnuts in town. I don't know about the Thai food they serve. The bagels were pretty darn good, but only basic bagels with basic cream cheese. So for basic doughnuts I recommend Eller's!

This is one of my favorite donut places. It's a no frills, straight up donut shop with some extras to purchase. I know a few places that contract with them for donuts (Lighthouse Coffee and Cottage Hospital). I've never had an issue with the quality of donuts I purchase. My kids love coming here and picking out a donut to eat. The parking lot is small so parking can be a slight issue but people come in and out all the time.
