Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for casual daytime dates or coffee meetups. The outdoor patio creates a relaxed vibe, but it's more grab-and-go than linger-over-dinner romantic
Can I get a table without a reservation? No reservations taken - it's counter service. Weekday mornings always have seating, weekend brunch (9-11am) gets packed but turnover is quick
Is it kid-friendly? Very - kids love the colorful donuts, there's space for strollers, and the casual atmosphere means no one minds normal kid noise. High chairs available
Best For
Better for: The only spot where celiac sufferers can safely enjoy fresh donuts without anxiety. Lighter, less sugary than traditional donuts while maintaining authentic texture
Skip if: You want heavy, super-sweet traditional donuts or need late afternoon/dinner options - they close at 4pm and focus on morning/brunch crowd
