Review


Popped in for a sweet treat on a day date after seeing the good reviews here. We went in for A donut each. We walked out with SIX each - half gf and half full gluten. For the gluten free, I went with a blueberry lemon (x2), boysenberry, birthday cake (x2), and a brown butter something or other.

All of the donuts are perfectly cooked. Hands down the best GF donuts I’ve ever had! The edges are perfectly crispy. The insides are moist. They’re regular donut size too! They don’t look small like something from a play kitchen.

IMO they’re best a little warm. They was a little warm when we got them and had some there. I had some after we got them home and they were completely cool, and they all had a slight flavor to them that gave them away as GF. Idk how to describe it other than I usually only taste it when I have gf muffins. I have no idea what it actually is. I always just relate it to gf muffins.

The birthday cake was my favorite even though I’m team buttercream and it had a dab of whipped frosting on it. It was really good and only available for a limited time

Blueberry lemon was like a muffin too in the shape if a donut with some delicious glaze. The lemon flavor is just a slight hint. I like my lemon blueberry treats to be a bit brighter and less if a hint. If there was a sprinkle of lemon sugar on top to make sure the lemon pops, this would be everything to me. I will still order this one again! Also, the staff helping us said the lemon was light on these, and I still got 2.

Boysenberry was a nice treat! I really like boysenberry, and the flavor comes through really well with a slight bite. Yum!

The last one I got was that brown butter something donut. I wasn’t really feeling this donut, but the staff said it’s the most popular. Is it a well-cooked donut with prefect texture? Yes. It’s the best classic gf donut I’ve ever had and perfect if you’re looking for something classic to pair with a coffee. I’ll probably never order it again. That’s not my thing. I’d go as far to say it may be something offered daily, which gives it an unfair advantage in being most popular. It’s really, really good…for what it is. I wouldn’t turn one down if someone gave me one!

If you enjoy excellent customer service, pop in for that too! The staff was amazing!
