🤤🤤🤤 what a find! This place is incredible!! I was a little concerned about getting donuts from a place that is not entirely gf, but JD Flannel knows what's up.

Taste notes: It had been so long since I have been able to eat what seems like a genuine donut. Most gf donuts are dense and baked, but these scratch made, fried donuts were incredible. I tried to crumb cake, chocolate old fashioned, and maple old fashioned. I also got a vanilla iced latte, which was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. Being a chocolate lover, the chocolate donut was probably my favorite. The maple flavoring was very slight, and the crumb cake seemed to remind me a lot of spice cake. All were still warm when I ate them and delicious.

Cross contamination notes: The person helping me was very patient and answered all of my questions. Their website says that the dough is prepared in a separate area and fried in a separate fryer, but I asked anyways and the employee confirmed.

The gluten free donuts are on the top rack and placed on separate baking sheets from the rest, they also have a separate pair of tongs specifically for those donuts which are stored separately from the tongs for the regular donuts.

The biggest risk of cross contamination I saw was when the donuts were being packaged. I would recommend asking the person helping you if they can wash their hands and change their gloves to avoid any gluteney crumbs being transfered to your containers.
