Employees are always quick, respectful, and appreciative of receiving tips. Their donut selection is a bit more narrow than my go--to place, but theres still a respectable amount of options to choose from. Most importantly the donuts are always fresh and delicious! It's conveniently located near the highway and usually always has parking available for those commuters trying to get in and out fast. What I appreciate most is they always have a good supply of fresh donuts even closer to noon, so on those lazy days you don't have to worry about all the good stuff being gone super early. My only gripe here is that they never seem to have donut boxes, but instead place them in their pastry bags wrapped inside plastic bags. To most that's probably not a deal breaker, but boxes can be really convenient for storage. Especially since any donuts not immediately eaten will begin to have their icing adhere to the bags and completely strip off the donuts. Pricing is a little more expensive than some of the other donuts in the area, but they more than make up for it with quality and service!

This place also offered daily specials and a variety of coffee drinks, small dining area to enjoy the treasures baked and brewed daily. So many wonderful pastries to choose from, so more visits will be in the future to explore the deliciousness baked daily. She is open from Thursday to Sunday and closed Monday through Wednesday. Very friendly staff ready to guide you through the many pastries baked fresh each day. This is an incredible bakery to have close to home, it does remind me of establishments you would visit in France or Italy or other European countries. If you like freshly baked pastries from a boutique local friendly bakery then Le Herisson is the place to go to. Bravissima, I just can't say enough other than let your taste buds tell you.

This place should be shut down immediately. They were just busted for running a lottery scratcher scam in which they sold losing tickets on purpose after pulling out the winning ones first. They have been doing this for 4 years! That means that they are a dishonest business that only cares about their profits. Additionally, this was found to be fraud and a felony too. Don't believe me, read about it in the VC Star. read more
