Jonathan was kind enough to accommodate my last-minute request for a custom "I 'HEART' U" donut box along with a few of his specialties. These included the Apple Fritter, Strawberry Shortcake, and Cinnamon Crumbs. Each donut was unique, but all were soft, crispy, and just the right amount of sweetness to enhance their flavors. Thank you, Jonathan! I can't wait to return and try more of your creations. Just a heads up: the shop is open from 5 to 9 AM, and they only accept cash, so be sure to bring some bills!

The donuts here are absolutely incredible—truly the best you'll ever taste! The service is just as exceptional. read more The donuts here are absolutely incredible—truly the best you'll ever taste! The service is just as exceptional.

Each time I've visited, the donuts have been made to perfection—never overcooked, always fresh, and never too greasy. I'm a fan of apple fritters, and these are simply the best I've ever tasted. The other donuts are just as fresh and delightful, and you can't go wrong with the classic glazed option. Every donut I tried was flawless. Jonathan is incredibly friendly and deserves your patronage. Highly recommended!

He has a variety of different donuts and they are all delicious. Definitely will return to this Donut Square. It is so unique that it is only open from 5 am to 9 pm and if you want their most famous frit, you better get their early. Easy parking. Place only takes cash no credit cards. Their donuts are full of love for women who cook in the kitchen.

But at times friendliness doesn't lead to the best customer experience. Confused? His friendly nature can lead him to chat up a storm with a customer and hampers how quickly you get your hands on some delicious donuts. If you see more than 2 people waiting in line, and you are in a hurry... Might want to consider going to a different location.HOWEVER, if time is no concern, and you want to get to know your local small business AND get your hands on some delicious donuts. Come on over! He makes delicious donuts and is very friendly. Apple fritter is his calling card but all the donuts are pretty good.
