Thank you for making our vacation complete. Claire HallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Delicious donuts! First stop each morning with little kids- would buy 12 dozen donut holes and they always gave us a few extra. A great deal for $4.50, especially since a normal donut was $3. Fluffy, soft, and everything you want in a donut with a good variety of choices. Very friendly staff!Google rating score: 4.4 of 5, based on 59 reviews
