Best doughnuts! The Willoughby breakfast sandwich was delicious...salty, savory and sweetness in one bite happened by it per chance. Took half a dozen home with us (maple creme, cinnamon, apple cider and chocolate glazed).

Donuts are huge, got 1/2 dozen for just under $13 so not cheap but they are filling and plenty for a family of 5. Place inside is cute and has a seating area to dine in. I got my order to go otherwise I’d try one of the breakfast sandwiches on the menu. Worth a visit if you are in the area!

Sweetest woman behind the counter. I forgot to take a photo of the donuts we got. The blueberry muffin was stuffed with real blueberries. Price was perfect. We got a box of 6 to try a bite of all. WE GOT: Cinnamon Sugar, Old Fashion, Blueberry glazed, Maple Cream, Boston Cream, Coconut. We also got a blueberry muffin. OUR FAVORITES: Coconut, Maple Cream, Cinnamon Sugar, Boston Cream. Blueberry muffin . Will definitely go back! Their apple fritter is as big as your face it’s perfect for a group to split.

Took a hr trip to try the donuts. Unfortunately, they were out of the Honey Dip and Maple Bacon by 9am, they were at the top of my list to get. Also tried the Fritter with Apple Raspberry filling and cinnamon roll. 100% recommend the Fritter. The donuts are really good, the cake donuts were my favorite of the batch I've tried. Returned recently and got there earlier to try and catch the Honey Dip and Maple Bacon, missed the Maple Bacon again unfortunately. The Honey Dip I was able to get and will say it's what I'd say is the best donut available here, super soft and fluffy. Also tried the cruller and fresh toast donuts and they're just as good as the other cake donuts.
