Must visit! The donuts were delicious! Where I come from it is really hard to find a good donut shop and this place was perfect. I had a Boston Creme and an old fashioned glazed and they just dissolved in my mouth. 100 would come back.

I have stopped in a couple of times. Great small donut shop with excellent donuts. Most recently tried the fruity pebbles and the sour cream pictured and both were solid. The yeast donuts are very hearty compared to Dunkin or other places.

Great stop right off Route 1! Freshly made donuts with traditional and creative flavors, make sure to try the sour cream!
