Run by Tanya Solares after her father’s retirement, this longtime downtown doughnut shop traces its identity to decades of family work and is positioned as a tribute to her father, Alejandro. Tanya grew up in doughnut shops and started working alongside her dad as a teen; she kept the store’s loyal clientele by preserving the recipe-driven quality that made it a local favorite and refreshed the storefront with prominent yellow lettering. The glass cases remain stocked with the classics—old-fashioned doughnuts, crullers, and bars—while Tanya experiments with playful new varieties like cookie-butter toppings, Lucky Charms, and edible glitter. The shop opens at 5 a.m. every day and closes at 4 p.m. or when sold out. - Janna Karel
