January 2023, I found myself at El Modena high school for my son's water polo tournament. Having never been there before, I dropped him off for warm-ups, and not wanting to sit around in the cold of the morning, decided to take a walk around the neighborhood. Nothing lost by trying to get my 10,000 steps in early for a day.
About halfway into my long rectangular walk around the high school, I passed DK donut, and then went back, knowing that a little bit of fried dough and sugar is actually really good for water polo players. At least that's what I believe.
I ordered up his usual: chocolate, old fashion, maple bar, half a dozen donut holes... And I got myself a nice black coffee. Aside: you never know getting coffee at a mom and Pop donut shop. Sometimes it's the most amazing fresh thing you've ever had, other times it tastes, like it has been slowly burning on the carafe heater since the Carter administration. Thankfully, the former was true, and I enjoyed a very nice warm cup of coffee on a chilly winter morning, walk in the mean streets of Orange.
The donuts were fresh, served quickly from the outside window, and reasonably priced. Nice people on the other side of the counter, even threw in an extra donut hole or two. Not that the kid needed it, but free is free.
If I ever find myself in the area again, I would certainly stop in here for donuts.
