Best, light, fresh doughnuts that I've have in years. Kind faces, kind words, and the hours are longer than most bakeries ( until 6 on that Wednesday) . A big thumbs up..

A small town treasure, worth every cent spent! Mr. Rose and his staff go all out with their baked goods to give flavor that cannot be matched, as well as remarkable service. The donuts and rolls are delicious, but their (giant) cream puffs are possibly...Read More

Delicious!!!! Fresh donuts. I really enjoyed the cinnamon bun donut, classic donuts, and the apple critters. It was soft on the inside, full of flavor. Excellent customer service. It's a small quaint bakery with indoor seating. I see they also offer other breakfast items, but...Read More

This is a hidden gem of a bakery with *delicious* donuts (glazed are my favorite) and sandwiches. The chicken salad sub is wonderful and what makes their sandwiches extra special is the house-made bread. Glad to have a go-to bakery!

Just moved to town and thought I'd come check it out. The nicest man was at the counter and let me try one of their incredible donuts for free before buying. Definitely worth the visit and will be recommending it to all!

We ordered several different donut items one morning. They were all excellent but they do something to the glazed donut that just makes it soooooooo good. My wife and I can only describe is as a "hint of lemon citrus flavor" but it …
