Just Some of Their Offerings


Glazed
- a well done classic, I can only imagine if this were warm.

Chocolate- on the denser side and slightly dry, I'd want a glass of milk with this for sure.


Cream Horn- Very flaky out side, fairly sweet frosting inside, slight granulation. 
 

Cinnamon Twist- a glazed, with a fair amount of cinnamon.
 
Sour Cream- A little tangier than a plain glazed, but the flavors play together so nicely.
 
Cake Donut- for those who like "not-so-sugary-sweet" sweet things, this simple classic is perfect with coffee.  It was ever so slightly on the dry side ( like a cake donut should be).  I'm told some think of this one as a blank slate for schemers and toppings of all kinds.




Raspberry Jelly Filled
-The raspberry jelly was smooth, not too sweet, tart, or fake tasting( I can't confirm ingredients) and balanced well with its doughy enclosure, both flavor and amount.


 Powdered- sweet, white, and messy.  Just like it should be.


Caramel Glazed- The icing was not as sugary sweet as we thought it would be, but it did have a lot of flavor and seemed to keep this donut more moist.


Chocolate Long John- The chocolate was good, not milk or dark, just right.
 

Notes: All the donuts from this place were on the denser and heavier side, slightly larger than Krispy Kreme, but not overwhelming (though truth be told I have had one of their famous apple fritters...it is a monster.  Super large and heavy, not for the faint of tummy)
 
Sugar Gang Notes: The main response I got from the office gang was "YUM!".  The biggest surprise was the raspberry jelly filled one, even the girls who aren't into filled donuts were fighting for a piece of this one. (yes, even I succumbed to its power)  Also the caramel glazed got particularly high marks. The cream horn and the sour cream got a shout-out as well.  The least impressive seemed to be the plain chocolate.
 
Overall: This is a place not to be missed by donut lovers.  Even donut "tolerators" could find love here.
