They were delicious but we knew we weren't getting the best of the batch and also noticed people in the back making tons of donuts. So we decided to return for a 7 am donut run....... PERFECTION! The donuts were sooooo fresh and sweet and there were soooooo many flavors - the huge apple fritter was moist and our new favorite was the payday with vanilla, caramel icing and peanuts. But I think what really stood out was how long the donuts taste good after you buy them and Spunky Dunkers didn't disappoint. Get them home and in a ziploc bag or Tupperware and they tasted just as good 2 days later This place isn't a secret either and I see why. There were at least 10 people crowded around the cashier counter first thing in the morning for a fresh batch.

Today I was surprised to see neither available. Not even an empty space for them. Bring French donuts back. Please. For my Dad's sake. If they cost extra, then charge extra. Don't just exclude it.

They have their own dedicated entrance, seating areas inside & outside, and a nice ordering counter. They have a wide variety of donut flavors but they seemed to be selling fast since it's the weekend. I highly recommend coming early to have your choice of donuts as I'm not sure how often they restock. When visiting, I tried their Boston Cream donut, Gimme My Regular breakfast sandwich, and Caramel High-Rise Coffee. The donut had a really good flavor of chocolate icing and custard filling. I got my coffee iced and it was the perfect sweet coffee treat. The breakfast sandwich was by far the favorite. The portion was huge and is easy to share or have leftovers. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and would certain come back!

I come from a long line of cooks and bakers and it is not often I eat other's preparations. I am…read morevery particular when it comes to the cleanliness of the kitchen and utensils, the quality of the ingredients and the love that goes into that preparation. That said, with things going on in my life, I don't always have the time to bake like I want to. When I need something and I don't have the time to do it, then I usually go to a brick and mortar bakery. Imagine my surprise when I discovered a mutual Facebook friend running a baking business out of her home (https://www.facebook.com/MissKittysTreats). For most of you that have read my reviews, you know I am a big supporter of local businesses. Back in February I discovered that Miss Kitty was doing cakes, so I ordered one from her for Valentine's Day, a lovely chocolate mocha coconut cake with ganache and espresso. Well that did not go so well. The cake arrived as planned and looked beautiful, but The Doctor was admitted into the hospital for a triple bypass. We eventually got home to try the cake about two weeks later, and it was very good. But as a baker, I knew that cake would have been a whole lot tastier if we had it on VD. Fast forward to our anniversary and we got the same cake to have at home as dessert with The Queen. OMG! The flavors were so amazing and the cake was so moist. For you folks that like a lot of frosting, you get it here. I myself don't do a lot of frosting, but I know most people do like it. I am that person who scraps off frosting from cupcakes and Cake, but Miss Kitty's frosting combined with the cake was sublime. Ain't gonna lie, I did take come off :-) Still delicious AF. This weekend Miss Kitty made donuts: Cinnamon sugar apple cider, Carmel apple cider, Strawberry Dreams, Pumpkin Spice, "Fun size " candy bars: coconut chocolate almond (With nuts or without ) and snickers not snickers, Classic vanilla/chocolate Halloween theme I am not a pumpkin girl, so Miss Kitty was nice enough to swap them out for the coconut chocolate almond donuts. I am a sucker for chocolate and coconut and the thought of eating an Almond Joy cake donut was too much for me. These are supposed to be for a birthday celebration tonight, but I had to try the coconut chocolate almond one. Yeah that was so good, so so good. I am trying not to eat another one...good luck with that. Miss Kitty is operating out of her home, but takes orders and delivers to your home. Check out her Facebook page to see what tasty treats she is offering and place an order today. Years from now, when she is a multi-million $$$ donut queen, I will be able to say I knew her when she was dropping off donuts and cakes to me.

I got the Blue Taki, Crispy Ramen, Potato, and Original Korean Hot Dogs - I prefer the half/half over full cheese or full hot dog. Also picked up some mochinut, they're so good, and absolutely worth the price, also, the boxes are cute! I appreciated the nice tables and the bright white/fun environment, but I took mine to go. Definitely worth a stop!

As a kid, I was always curious about corn dogs but could never eat one due to dietary restrictions…read more Imagine my delight when I heard about not only a place that offers halal corn dogs, but halal *Korean style* corn dogs. We ordered a classic corn dog and a potato corn dog. For the latter, we did half & half, which meant half was cheese and the other half was hot dog. We also ordered 3 donuts. The corn dogs were delicious. I like the half & half because the cheese was nice and gooey. I didn't get to try any of the donuts because we had 3 kids with us, but my wife said they were good; she liked that they were hot and fresh, as she's had this type of donut before but it was more stale and stretchy. Gotta have them fresh, I suppose. I'd love to go back without kids so I can properly try a whole corn dog and a donut, but it felt like a unique treat. Pricing was on the higher side (in particular, for the donuts). Service was friendly. The interior was nice enough, but not very large if you plan to come with a group.

The filled "pocket" donuts were definitely the highlights. The Biscoff Pocket was our favorite--the sweetness was balanced nicely by a subtle salty note, while the Blueberry Cream Cheese Pocket was another excellent combination. The Chocolate Nutella Pocket was good but leaned a bit too sweet for our taste. We also tried the Blueberry and Pistachio Lemon Old Fashioned donuts. The texture of the donuts themselves was fantastic--soft with a satisfying bite--but the blueberry flavor stood out much more than the pistachio lemon. Service was smooth, and overall we were really impressed. We'd even rank these above Spunky Dunkers, and we'll definitely be back the next time we're craving something sweet.

I also tried their vegan chocolate glazed old-fashioned donut. Great spot for meeting with friends or doing work. They have a huge collection of board games to play as well!

I got a fresh red bean paste pastry. SUPER fresh. I reached towards the back. The bread was very fluffy and soft. The bean paste was fresh and not too sweet. The ice pistachio matcha was recommended and new by the cashier. He was right! He mentioned how he puts 1 pump instead of 3 and there was a very very small amount of sweetness. If u don't want sweet, do 1 pump. The topping and foam adds some sweetness. Small/regular size was a perfect amount. I paid about $20 for 4 pastries and a regular drink. The inside was spacious but only seating along the opposite wall. Bathroom is clean.

Very disappointing experience at Tous Les Jours today…read more The service was extremely rude. The cashier (long black hair) she had an unfriendly attitude from the start--no greeting, no smile, and it felt like she was already irritated. What made it worse was how both the cashier and the owner spoke to me. They raised their voices instead of helping. There was a promotion for 3 bakery items for $5. I accidentally selected 7 items instead of 6, and I clearly told them multiple times that I only wanted 6 and did NOT want the extra item. Instead of fixing a simple mistake calmly, they kept raising their tone at me, which was unnecessary and uncomfortable. As a customer, I expect basic respect and professionalism. This situation could have been handled politely in seconds, but instead it turned into a negative experience. I won't be returning, and I hope management seriously works on customer service.
