I was craving donuts and had fond childhood memories of this place. That familiar atmosphere with a retro menu, older Asian men squatting outside with coffee in their hands, and my eyes scanning their selection of donuts threw a fragrance of nostalgia in the air.
However, let's get to the actual review: the place is stocked very standardly. Coffee, donuts, sandwiches, chips, soda, and a few other oddities were present- I didn't pay attention to their complete stock. I ordered ten donut holes, a small coffee, and a ham and cheese sandwich. It honestly had been a while since I'd last been to a donut shop, so I was pleasantly surprised at how cheap everything was. However, prices do not always dictate quality. :)
The donut holes were nice, sweet, a little moist and chewy- I enjoyed that thoroughly. However, this was not the best part.
The ham and cheese sandwich was very unexpected. It was very cheaply made: hamburger buns, two thin slides of square ham, a slice of melted cheese, and it seemed like some form of relish topped it all off. It was soft and warm, and the buns were nice and fluffy! It wasn't too hot, and every bite had its ingredients proportioned just right. However, this was also not the best part.
The coffee! I ordered a small black coffee, and I can honestly say that this was the /best/ cup of coffee I've ever had, and that is no exaggeration. I couldn't find the cream, but there was a selection of pure sugar and zero calorie alternatives, so I took a very small amount of sugar in my coffee- it was nearly black. The temperature of the coffee was perfect! Often times when I do order hot coffee from other places, I get exactly what I ask for- of course, I mean singed taste buds. However, the coffee here was served just right. Hot enough to warm my stomach up, but not hot enough to burn every cell of my digestive tract. The coffee was so smooth, and even though it there was barely any sugar, it didn't give me a headache and a look of pain on my face, like every other time I've supplemented black coffee for sleep. It was the perfect cup, and I would come here again /just/ for the coffee!
All in all, this is a very nice little spot. The sign doesn't stand out, so you'd probably only notice this place if you were really looking for a donut place. Very good experience.
