I tried the kunafah pistachio donut. The concept is great, and the textures work well, but it’s overly sweet. The sweetness ends up overpowering the key flavors of the pistachio and kunafah, which should have been the stars of the bite. The donut holes are solid—standard small-sized desserts, easy to enjoy, and well-executed. No complaints about the coffee; it does the job and pairs well with the sweets. The space itself feels a bit dingy, which takes away from the overall experience, especially considering the wide range of donut options they offer. With a brighter, cleaner atmosphere, the place would feel more aligned with the quality, value for money, and variety of its menu.

I recently visited this charming little donut shop, and it was an absolute treat! The donuts were fresh, soft, and perfectly glazed, with a variety of flavors that satisfied my sweet tooth. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, with friendly staff who made the experience even better. It’s a cash-only spot, which adds to the old-school charm. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a delicious, no-frills donut experience.

Had some of the BEST cronuts I've ever had here! They also have a pistachio donut, but I didn't try that. Next time I will! Don't sleep on the banh mi sandwiches here 😋 larger than the traditional small baguette sized bread, but the bread itself is baked with a light crisp crunch to it and you get even more filling inside. Staff here was SUPER friendly and sociable 😁

Donuts range from ~$1 for donut/cronut holes, ~$2 for regular donuts, and ~$3 for more specialty bars and fritters. They serve savory donuts and croissant sandwiches as well. The classic glazed/raised donut was pretty good. It's less yeasty but more buttery than other glazed donuts I've tried. It's pretty light and fluffy. The cronut holes look a little sad/lopsided and they're really sweet. They're also somewhat greasy or buttery on the inside despite not having been fresh out of the oven (at the time I tried it). There are extra charges on card purchases under $10. Service was okay but not extraordinarily friendly.
