In the meantime, they were able to create a special birthday donut arrangement called the 'Casey 12' for us, which I paired with some homemade vegan cake donuts. The birthday donuts were delicious, and the ordering and pickup process was easy. I look forward to the vegan options being available so that everyone can enjoy them together in the future. The strawberry donuts were particularly fruity and tasty.

The shop is located in a shopping center, facing the main street, and while the exterior could use a little sprucing up, the friendly service and tasty treats make up for it. The staff welcomed me with positive attitudes, and the interior had a nostalgic feel, with a small seating area for customers. They offered a good variety of classic and specialty donuts, all of which were fresh and flavorful. I particularly enjoyed the slightly chewy texture of the yeast raised donuts, and the generous amount of cinnamon in the cinnamon roll. The coffee was also hot and delicious, staying warm for a long time. Overall, this well-managed establishment is worth a visit, even if it requires a little extra effort to get there. You won't be disappointed.

I've eaten here since I was a kid. They not only have donuts but bagels, burritos and breakfast sandwiches

I’m from a small mid-western town in Ohio where Jolly Pirate Donuts was the longest establishment with the best donuts open 24 hours. I haven’t felt as warm as that place until I walked in here. Ham and cheese croissant was effing amazing and the donuts are so fluffy and delicious. I can’t even begin to sing enough praises for them. Will be going back!
