Wow! My dad told me this place had him in a choke hold and now I see why. Came here on a whim while…read moremy bestie was in town. I was craving donuts and she was craving a funnel cake. We arrived about 30 minutes before closing and was kindly greeted. There were a few donuts left in the case and I chose the Biscoff, Oatmeal Pie, Classic Chocolate Sprinkle, and what looked like Churro with caramel swirl. I also got a funnel cake and 2 scoops of the Cappucino Crunch ice cream for my wife. The donuts were delicious!!! I had to stop myself from eating them in one sitting. They were not lying when they said they didn't need a fresh donut light! 30 minutes before closing and the donuts tasted so fresh! The Chocolate sprinkles was really good, can't go wrong with a classic. The donut itself (for all of them) was so fluffy and airy and had that delicious donut tatse. The chocolate frosting wasn't overly sweet and it had the perfect amount of sprinkles on it. The Oatmeal Pie donut was also really good. I like that they include an Oatmeal pie piece on there. The Biscoff donut had to me my fave out the bunch. It was packed with different textures and flavors. The white frosting was absolutely devine. I would say I would prefer the crispy pieces to be a bit more fresh to get that crunchy texture. I also thought this one tasted more like oatmeal pie than the actual oatmeal pie donut but they were both still delicious. The churro donut was perfectly seasoned with cinnamon and sugar. I would have loved more caramel sauce on that one but again, still delicious. Overall I truly enjoyed the vibe here. Everyone was so friendly. It very spacious so if you want to sit inside and enjoy your treats you can. They also have a variety of other things like hot foods, coffee, lemonade, and fried oreos. I will definitely be back to try more!

Definitely a spot you want to hang out and snap pics in. Now the donuts... SO good. The hot mini donuts were fresh, soft, and covered in powdered sugar perfection . The loaded funnel cake with cookies, chocolate drizzle, and powdered sugar was over-the-top in the best way -- sweet, crunchy, and totally worth it . Everything tasted fresh and made with care, and the presentation alone had me excited before the first bite. If you're craving something sweet and fun, this is definitely a must-stop spot! Catch them at Soda City or storefronts in Cola.

customizable donuts. think blueberry frosting, maple bacon, and raspberry drizzle. they have a list of recommended ones, or you can make your own. you get a piece of paper and tick off the toppings you want, then hand it over at the register. simple enough, and the options are varied enough to fit everyone's taste. i got a half dozen, which was just enough variety to try a bit of everything. one thing to keep in mind is that these aren't your traditional fluffy donuts - they're cake based, so they're slightly more dense. good, but nothing to write home about. nothing beats a good ole fashioned Krispy Kreme donut, but if you want to get creative, this is a decent option. read more

These cake donuts are without a doubt the greatest I've ever had! They have a great, fresh flavor, as though they were just produced and deep-fried! There are so many varieties that you may practically create your own doughnut! They were excellent, and even though I'm not from the area, I wish this doughnut shop existed in Arizona. We bought a few different kinds to taste, and I was extremely pleased with the donut as well as the icing and toppings because they were all absolutely excellent! read more
