I'm here to tell you, in my opinion, Donut Shack is #1! Perfect texture, perfect taste and so fresh! I'm a Boston Creme fan and this location has the very best. All of the others are also very good. And to top it off, the staff is lovely. Come on in and support this small business. They are worth every penny.

Stopped on the way to work and got half a dozen for work, plus an apple fritter and twist for me…read moreand an enormous cinnamon roll for my roommate. It was $18 and change, so $20 with a small tip. Work loved the donuts. I tried the cherry filled and it was good. Apple fritter was huge and light, but needs a lot more apple, IMHO. My roommate raved about the light and perfect dough of her cinnamon roll. I also gave her a big hunk of my fritter. Yum. My goal is to work my way through every donut and then convince them to make me a bear claw! Why no decent bear claws in Maryland? I gotta go back to pink box shops in California for them? Lol. Writing this the next morning. I'm enjoying day old apple fritter with a twist. Still very good the next day!!

I wouldn't visit a second time. It wasn't awful, it just was not all that the reviews said. I wouldn't recommend, but I also wouldn't say don't give it a try - maybe I went on an off day. It wasn't as sweet and the dough was just bland really...the frosting was ok (but again nothing great). Since there was a lot more dough to frosting ratio - I was left feeling like it was a no for me.

The coffee is fantastic, it brings Seattle style flavor, culture, and ethics to a place you would least expect. The taste is so fresh and comforting, you instantly taste what sets them apart. Today, the barista, Camden introduced me to the unique flavor profiles of every single bean they offer. She went above and beyond to pair me with the perfect drink, and did so with such raw, genuine enthusiasm. I enjoyed a flat white and homemade, hot Jamaican tea. I will be dreaming of them both until I get to come back. Do yourself a favor and get some real coffee from Rise Up !

I've been to other Rise Up locations before and usually enjoy them, so this wasn't my first time…read morewith the brand--but this visit stood out a little differently. I actually came Thursday morning and ended up leaving because the line was long. I didn't have time to wait just to order and then wait again for food. On Friday, I did it the smarter way and ordered ahead online, then picked up from the Mad Eggs food truck in the rear, which worked out way better. I went for breakfast and ordered a scrapple, egg, and cheese biscuit ($10) and breakfast tots ($4.25). The order took about 20 minutes, which honestly wasn't bad considering how packed it was around 9:00 a.m. I even noticed people waiting in their cars before heading up to the truck, so the timing felt realistic given the volume. If I had more time, I would've waited without an issue. Food-wise, everything was good, but I had mixed feelings. The biscuit sandwich tasted fine, but for $10, I expected more. It wasn't loaded, and at that price point it just didn't quite make sense to me--I know that sounds sarcastic, but it's hard not to compare when it's a simple scrapple, egg, and cheese. The breakfast tots, on the other hand, were the better deal. I liked these a lot. The portion made more sense for the price, and I really liked that you're encouraged to customize them. That part was right up my alley. With all the topping options, I do wish they offered a sauce or gravy option (like sausage or country gravy), but even without that, this is something I'd order again and again. The coffeehouse itself is small but clean and quaint, with a few tables. Parking out front is very limited--maybe five cars--but there's more space in the back near the food truck, and there's a rear entrance, which is probably the best move. Staff was friendly and efficient, and even from inside you can tell things are run pretty smoothly. I don't drink coffee, so I can't speak to that side much, but I've had food brought home from here before by my wife and really enjoyed the matcha tea smoothie in the past. Overall, I'd definitely return. I think Rise Up does a good job in general, and I've enjoyed their Severna Park and downtown Annapolis locations before. I just expected more out of a $10 biscuit sandwich--but I'd happily come back for the tots and other menu items.

You can find dry goods, fresh produce, burger counters, deli, prepared foods from fresh donuts (the best apple, blueberry and peach fritters ever), to pretzel logs, fried chicken, barbecue, to smoothies and frappes. Not to mention the insane bakery section in the middle of the store with fresh bread, pies, cakes, muffins, bagels, even gluten free baked goods as well. It's a fun place to spend a bunch of time just perusing all they have to offer. It's busy and noisy and the lines can be long, so just be ready for that. Bring cash as some vendors offer lower prices if you pay in cash instead of with a card. Take your goods and drive the short way to a park or the beach for the best morning!

The veggies are beautiful, bakery items are fresh, and the cooked meals are a great price. You honestly can't beat the prices for most items. Parking is ample but it's a bit cramped inside. Overall this is a great place to get truly homemade everything. The Amish folks work hard to make goods that scream pride. People come from all over to be here so remember, get here EARLY.

Outside, there's a patio space with the cutest little tree fairy house for kids to play in, which honestly makes the whole place feel a bit magical. Definitely a spot I'd come back to, whether it's for a quiet coffee break or a casual outing with my kid. Thanks for having a beautiful place for the community to come together!!

Check out the drink specials it will be worth your while to order one because can't get them year around. The pasties or good as well, just ask them to heat them up because they are cold! My only complaint is they didn't heat up our pastries and by time I sat down I don't want to get back in the long line to ask them to heat them up. Of course I could just skip the line but did I mention it's small and cramped to navigate. There is a downstairs so be sure to check it out. My tips is to order what you want, say hi to Ferguson and stay a while.
