  Nice little spot. The people are friendly, the donuts are good. If I were to critique them at all I'd say they're a touch big and the frosting is applied way too heavy. It the components are all there.

  The donuts are amazing, the glazed ones are the best in my opinion. You have almost certainly to wait in line but it’s worth it. The coffee is fine and so is the staff

  Tried chocolate cream one and it was one of the worst donuts i have ever had in my opinion... they are basically heavy dough bread with really awful cream inside. Probably mixed too much flour in the cream and barely taste like cream. Chocolate frosting is the only part that gained 3 star here... maybe if you are expecting Asian style bread you might like it better. For donut... it’s a no to me...

  Perfect donuts! Coffee was fine, and so was the customer service - ladies seem to do everything they could to reduce our waiting time in a line (which, as for me, is a natural thing in a good place on a Saturday morning). The place itself is really nice and sunny, too, with plenty of tables. So I was happy I didn't choose to take my donuts out. The bismark with wild berry jam was to die for!

  I was lucky to come when I did at 10am on a Sunday morning. When I first asked for the Wheat Free Fritter Thang, I was told it “wasn’t ready yet” (?) but then someone from the back let us know a fresh batch had just been prepared! I’d recommend calling ahead if you’re looking for a specific donut or a wheat free/vegan donut. Sitting in the naturally lit area housing tables and chairs, I took a sip of my coffee and tore a piece off the fritter. It was surprisingly springy vs dense and I could see the cinnamon baked into the batter. A few bites in, I decided I loved the flavor and the glaze, but the texture was too weird. Gluten/wheat free donuts are difficult to perfect, and these are definitely worth a try... Unfortunately, I only made it a few more bites in before raising the white flag. I wonder if they used tapioca flour? Just felt too elastic for me. Nice atmosphere, good coffee (only offer half n half and almond milk FYI), and good taste. Just not worth the indulgence for me.
