    Everything we had was great. Zoe ate the chicken salad in a sandwich but also in the croissant. We loved the ham and cheese croissant. Service was awesome and we also got donuts that were fresh and tasty.

    The people here are super friendly.  I always see regulars sitting down for breakfast and reading the paper.  

    Donuts are huge!  However, I didn't think they were particularly fresh.  It was 8:30 am on a Sunday, and I thought they were a little bit stale.  My husband didn't finish his, and I didn't bother to finish it for him.  

    There's seating inside, so it looks like it might be a good place to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee.   It's cash only, but there's a bank nearby.

    Cons:
    -Cash only
    -Not super fresh at 11AM (they close at 2PM Sundays)
    -Street parking

    3 donuts for $4.50

    Boston Cream Long John
    Eclair-shaped yeast donut with chocolate frosting filled with vanilla custard. This donut felt super fresh and was loaded up with custard. Fairly standard, but solid. This was easily the best of the 3 we tried.

    Chocolate Cake with Sprinkles
    Glazed chocolate cake donut with sprinkles (no frosting). This donut tasted a bit dry and less fresh than the Boston Cream. It had a slightly sugary aftertaste.

    Plain Glaze
    Glazed yeast donut. This was the worst of the bunch. It tasted a bit stale and too bready (possibly because it didn't seem entirely coated in glaze).

    Based on the hype, I was expecting to be blown away but unfortunately 2/3 of our donuts were a bit stale/dry at 11AM (they close at 2PM Sundays). I would recommend getting there as early as possible in case they're better in the early morning!

    I wish donuts were healthy, then I would live in here. Great donuts and muffins. Good coffee. A blast from the past. A little grungy in a grungy diner sort of way. I really wish donuts were healthy. Maybe they are. Yes I think they are. Good, I can come here every day.

    I love this coffee shop, great service with the nicest people and good food! I recommend their rice and chicken soup
