I mentioned to them that I wasn't feeling well and that their donuts were the only thing I could eat, and they gave me the sweetest note! I can't even express how incredible their donuts and muffins are! This is the best donut place I've ever tried, and all of my friends I shared with agree too! <3
Very annoying that you cant order a mix of donuts and muffins when getting 6, and that you cant order specific flavors. I got the assorted 6 donuts and I was given 2 each of 3 flavors... why not at least give 6 flavors, so theres more chance the customer gets their favorites??
I ordered a half dozen assorted mochi muffins and a half dozen butter mochi donuts, along with a caramel matcha latte and a roasted matcha latte for a birthday breakfast. It was the best decision ever!
As always, the food was excellent and delicious! I requested only gluten-free options since I have celiac disease, and they kindly sent me a personalized note confirming that everything in the store is gluten-free. The donuts are incredibly tasty and quite sweet, and the caramel matcha latte is delightful without being overly sweet.
OMG You could literally taste all the premium ingredients that goes into these donuts! These are no ordinary donuts they taste AMAZING! My favorite place after taking one bite
