Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you're going for casual and low-pressure - it's a quick counter-service spot, not a linger-over-coffee date destination. Better as a second or third date coffee run.
Can I get a table without a reservation? No reservations needed or taken - it's all counter service with a few small tables. Grab your donuts and coffee, find a spot if available, or take it to go.
Is it kid-friendly? Extremely - kids love picking donuts through the glass case, and the casual vibe means no one cares if they're a bit loud. High chairs not available but plenty of families come through.
What time do they sell out? Popular varieties gone by 10-11am on weekends, closer to noon on weekdays. The legendary nutty doodle coffee is always available until close.
Do they take credit cards? Cash only - there's an ATM next door if you forget. Prices are so low you'll spend under $10 for donuts and coffee anyway.
Best For
Better for: Unbeatable value and that legendary self-serve coffee bar experience - 30+ blends and premium creamers at basic donut shop prices. The neighborhood regulars vibe and consistent quality since 1998 beats trendy donut shops charging $5+ per donut.
Skip if: You want Instagram-worthy artisan donuts with exotic flavors (cereal-topped, matcha-glazed, etc.) or need a laptop-friendly workspace. Also skip if you sleep past 11am on weekends - selection gets thin fast.
