Finally was able to get by here for their Gluten Free Fridays!!! I was nervous because we got there about 1pm & I wasn't sure if... they'd have anything left. But they did!! We got a mixed dozen & goodness gracious my belly was happy!!! I haven't had a donutin years & their GF donuts were fantastic!! I personally loved the cinnamon & sugar one the most. Can't wait to go back again!! Read more
coffee is good but their smoothies are NASTY. they use some fruit concentrate blended with whole milk and it tastes like... drinking strawberry jelly. they didn?t ask me for a milk preference and i don?t drink whole milk- i obviously didn?t know thesmoothie was going to be 99% whole milk. I tried to be polite to the barista and ask for another drink and he was very rude andsaid he would remake the same drink for me but not a different one. i don?t understand the logic there but whatever just don?tget the ?smoothies? (in the pic you can see the ingredients separating) Read more
Stopped in upon the recommendation of a friend to try out their homemade donuts and Home roasted coffee. I'm a trained Barista... and home espresso enthusiast of >17 yrs, really picky about espresso. This place was great, super cozy, slightly off the beatenpath. The pricing was lower than I thought it should have been, so hat tip to them for being so modest. Their donuts can hangwith the old standbys of inner city New York, definitely better than any chain. So if you want gourmet espresso base drinks anddonuts in a super cozy hang out environment, make this place a destination. Read more
