I love their old fashioned donuts and cinnamon twists. Clean environment just not aesthetically pleasing being on Ocean Street. I prefer take out.

Food was good , Coffee ☕️ too. Tables were a bit crumb filled, One worker was sweeping while I was eating close by and just brushed crumbs with his hand off the table to the floor...I'd go back but would not dine in again. 2 glazed, 1 jalapeño cheese croissant. Large coffee.

This is a legit donut shop with the old school vibe. Something about the way the donuts are made pleases the palate. No frills, solid product, lots of selection. I came in for the coffee because another review said it was solid. The shoppe was a step back in time (which is something I love), the sales counter was worn down from years of happy customers and sales- a classic with weathering like Willie Nelson's favorite guitar. $2.75 for a huge cup of coffee. My kid got a sweet standard donut with chocolate icing and super sprinkles. I was out of there for under 5 bucks. What a deal.

Donuts were good but very pricey. I don't like that they only take cash, if you don't have cash on-hand you can use an ATM on-site for a $2 charge. I did try the croissant donut and was very happy, loved the texture of the donut with the light glaze.
