During my last four visits over the past few months (and I live 45 minutes away), they've consistently been out of fried donuts. It's incredibly frustrating. If you're famous for a particular item and actively advertise it, you should have enough stock to meet customer demand. I could understand if I arrived close to closing time, but I've been there three to five hours before they close, only to be told, “I’m sorry, we don’t have any left.” My usual response is disbelief: “You don’t close for another three hours—how can you be out already?” I’m then told I can place an order and come back another day, but honestly, I don’t want to have to do that. As a former local and restaurant manager, it surprises me that they don't maintain sufficient stock of this popular item. If you're going to promote something, you need to anticipate greater demand and adjust accordingly to ensure you have enough to satisfy your customers, especially for something people come specifically for. Unfortunately, I keep leaving feeling frustrated, disappointed, and empty-handed.

The cakes, cupcakes, and donuts frequently taste stale and lack freshness. Additionally, the staff members are unfriendly, and the bakery itself is in need of better upkeep. I believe the Ernest family would be disheartened to see the current state of management at the bakery.
