I'm not Homer Simpson, but I love donuts. I come from a generation when every city had several donut shops. It could be that grocery store bakeries put an end to donut shops, but I like a regular glazed or maple bar.
The website for this place is impressive. However, the physical footprint was easy to miss and much smaller. Their sign is hard to see and blocked by other objects. They either need a lighted sign or something far brighter than that light pink that blends into the faded concrete. We drover around the block twice, because the sign was not clearly visible. Since GPS said the building was there, we park and walked around the corner and only then was the shop visible.
I was interested in the French Toast donut. I envisioned a French toast batter with maple icing. But it was just a donut with Maple icing with cinnamon and powdered sugar. I honestly had to laugh, because I used to make pancakes for my girlfriend and her choice was Honey Almond or Almond Maple. It was just pancake batter with almond slivers in the batter, then your choice was Maple Syrup or Honey to go on top. It was a joke between use, but this was the same thing. They are common donuts with fascinating names, and a splash of character, in my case, cinnamon and powdered sugar.
Truth be told, I like Krispy Kreme's Maple Glazed way better, but this was a big, dare I say heavy donut, so despite it's $4 ticket, you are getting something that will fill your belly and unlike Top Pot, that just weighs you down with heavy bread, these taste better than that.
My favorite part was the cash discount. It's so easy to pay with a device or card and 99% of the time I do, but paying cash brought the price down from $4 to $3. I would pay cash for everything, if people offered a discount. Penalties and fees are crazy just like Ticketmaster, I wish these companies would get the message, we are on to you. Since almost everything is virtual these days, I think these fees should be smaller. Then again, I come from a time you could use any ATM, now, if it's not your bank, you are going to be hit with fees to use an ATM and what if you have a local bank and you aren't local.
Not the best donut I've had, but I recommend you check them out and with that cash discount, you may find they are cheaper than the competition.
