The bagels are great which can only be enjoyed with her own whipped cream cheese, and you can't go wrong with any of her donuts and coffee. No other donut shop compares to the family and community ambiance.

This place should be named Donut Heaven…read more Their donut bites/holes are amazing! Imagine a cloud-soft donut bite, that's more of a pastry consistency, that feels almost weightless with delicate layers inside rather than a doughy center. Melts in your mouth. Each bite is billowy, gently sweet cream fills the center and melts in your mouth. The powdered sugar dusting on top adds the right whisper of sweetness, blending perfectly with the airy pastry like donut bites and light filling. So well balanced! You must try these!

Others have shared how stellar the customer service is, and we couldn't agree more. Sophia instantly made us feel at home and had us smiling and laughing with her the entire time we were there. We left feeling like our cups were full. :) She let us know their family owned business has been in the community for 40+ years and after trying the donuts it's obvious why. All of the donuts were super fresh, extremely fluffy, and so tasty, while the case and the rest of the shop was well maintained and clean...it's obvious a great amount of heart and care goes into their operation. We chose a variety of apple fritters, donut holes, old fashions, custard-filled, glazed, chocolate, maple, and a cinnamon crunch, cinnamon roll, and sugar twist donut along with a breakfast sandwich. Talk about choices! I mentioned to Sophia that I had a certain allergy and she immediately offered to special make a modified breakfast option for me without hesitation. We'll definitely be regulars moving forward - support local!

Can't believe I never wrote a review of this place…read more Crispy Donut's is fantastic! Delicious donuts, an impressive selection of styles, all of them well-made, and for a very decent price. As of mid 2026, a dozen regular donuts will run you about $16 for anything that would make your kid smile. Larger fare, like their brilliant Apple Fritters or Old-Fashioned Bars, will run you a bit more, but they are very much worth it. They always seem to have plenty of donuts ready. Never had an issue with quality. The staff is friendly and knowledgable. And they open nice and early with anything you want on hand for before your trip into work. Can't reccomend them enough, easily five stars ... it's what you want and hope a good, local donut shop to be. Damn tasty donuts...

My boyfriend has a severe tree-nut allergy and we didn't realize that all of their iced drinks are made with cashew milk by default. While this is mentioned at the bottom of the menu, it's easy to overlook and isn't clearly indicated next to each drink. He took one sip and immediately had a severe allergic reaction and we almost had to take him to the ER. I understand that people with allergies need to ask questions, but when cashew milk is the default and a major allergen, I feel the warning should be much more prominent. I hope they consider making this clearer so someone else doesn't have a potentially dangerous experience. We did receive a refund, which I appreciated, but unfortunately we won't be returning.
