Is this good for a first date? No - it's a casual donut counter, not a sit-down experience. Better for a quick coffee meetup or grabbing treats before an activity together.

Do they take credit cards? Yes, cash and cards both accepted at this family-run shop.
What time do they sell out? Peak selection is before 9am on weekends. They maintain good variety through early afternoon, but popular items like apple fritters go fast - arrive early for best choices.
