The place was quite busy, there's also a bar/counter where you can sit and eat. We ordered so many items I'll stick to the ones that was most memorable. Smoked Chorizo Biscuits & Gravy - The chef recommended this so that's what I ordered, it was so delicious! The biscuit and gravy were the perfect pairing then you got a kick from the Chorizo...yes! Pancakes with Brisket - The pancakes were really light and fluffy and creamy, but the Brisket....omg I wanted to just keep eating that, great dish! The donut French toast was an another hit!! We met the owner, his Mom, the Chef and probably most of the patrons in there lol Such a great time and the food was perfect!!

Traditionally, I'm a yeast donut girl, but these mochi donuts have given yeast donuts a run for…read moretheir money! They're chewy, crispy on the outside, and gluten-free! Best of all, they're not overly sweet so I can usually eat more of them. And they're great for sharing -- each individual bubble can be ripped and shared, so I love bringing these to parties. I've been a fan of Dochi since their OG East End location and am even more in love with the Colonial location since it's closer to my house. My favorite flavor is their Churro and Matcha Oreo -- literally can't get enough. The donuts are made fresh every day. Make sure to grab them early because once they're sold out, they close shop!

Since these are made fresh, there is a limited number of donuts... we came right around 1pm, and…read morethere are only a few left. Just so you know, these are a little chewy, flavorful, and tasty donuts, with flavors like strawberry red velvet, green tea pistachio, and ube ore cookie.

To see all the donuts freshly made and exquisitely lined up for your convenience is such aesthetically pleasing to look at. My sons split a sausage breakfast sandwich and I had the spam breakfast sandwich. So ono! The sweet and savory combo works here! The shop is clean and the cooks/servers are very personable and friendly to make sure you're having the best donut experience. Things to know: I personally prefer hot and fresh donuts. But I know for quality of the gourmet donuts, you're not always able to get that. But on Saturdays and Wednesday, they make malasadas which are God's sweet gift to the world. If you're able, make sure to order one. Also with these being gourmet donuts, they're going to be pricier than your Dunkin or Krispy Kreme. Know that going in. For 2 breakfast sandwiches and a dozen donuts was over $60. So just plan ahead and know in advance you're going to drop some money on some amazing, life changing donuts!

I'm not exactly sure what to say about this place…read more. The shop is cute, service was nice, but I don't think these were the doughnuts for me. They were okay, not too sweet, but they did leave a strange film in my mouth. Better to look at than eat, unfortunately.

I remembered Donut King is open late (until 9:00pm today), and I am glad I took a longer drive. I didn't know they were giving away a free donut today. I truly felt blessed (lol). I went in for a glazed twist donut that's combined with regular Donut dough and chocolate dough. Walking out with a free vanilla iced donut was a great way to celebrate National Donut Day. While it was obvious they were VISITED today, and the plaza isn't the cutest, the Donut quality is great, and the customer service I received today was PHENOMENAL. The gentleman with the bandana was extremely kind.

Consistent in quality like a blue chip stock that you hold onto for 35 years. Ambiance is great. Storefront is in a dingy strip mall, but inside is a wall of donuts that looks like the Great Wall of China in donut form. A formidable display of deliciousness that will make your day better from the very start. Service is equally as formidable. There are always a ton of people in line, but they serve their way through them very quickly and efficiently. Very nice folks, and they always seem to have everything in stock. The donuts themselves are the best part. Soft, airy, topped with the perfect amount of toppings, filled with the perfect amount of fillings, and there are a few truly unique offerings that are very intriguing. You just can't go wrong. Overall, other gourmet offerings are out there, and they're pretty good, too, but Donut King is my original, and quite frankly, if I'm driving out to the coast for a long day of birding, I would pick the King over any of those other places anyway,

There is so much to love about Bakery 1908, from the fluffy pork buns to the delicious fruity…read moreteas!!! This has been my go-to Asian bakery ever since Saigon Market closed down and they have not disappointed. My favorites include the pork floss bun, sponge cakes, and hot dog buns! Personally, I would skip the trendy croissant cubes because they're not as good as they look. It's usually more bread than filling and I've had the same experience with other places too. When it comes to service, I've always had good experiences at Bakery 1908 and I really like how they have a self-ordering kiosk for dishes and drinks if you'd rather skip ordering at the counter. I think the cakes are a little bit more expensive than the buns because of extra craftsmanship but it's completely worth it. For me, the biggest downside to Bakery 1908 is the location. Mills has always been a busy area and it can be hard to leave the parking lot. But otherwise it's completely worth the visit and a lot more accessible than other restaurants there. I love coming back to Bakery 1908 and always try something new every single time I go.

It's not that easy to find as I didn't see a sign on the storefront except for a chalkboard outside. Perhaps they are getting a new sign? The place is very clean with neutral tones but smaller than I was expecting. There are a few small tables and then the large counter with all the goodies at the back. And there are a lot of goodies to choose from! Besides the cube shaped croissants, and one wheel croissant, there are also oblong croissants in many flavors like strawberry, pistachio, chocolate, hazelnut and more. There are also desserts in the cold case to the right and some savory items like garlic cream and hot dogs in croissant to the left. Since we were here during brunch time, I got a savory item - a garlic, cheese and ham bun - as well as a pistachio cube. My friend got the pepperoni pizza croissant. While there are lots of coffee drinks and milk teas/boba teas on the menu, I asked if they had hot tea. They said they do not, which I think is a miss. Maybe they will add that soon? Instead, I got a Mango Green Tea and my friend got a Strawberry Green Tea. Let me tell you, everything was so good! I had my garlic bun first and it was great. Then I had the pistachio cube and it was filled with a light pistachio whipped cream - delish! I'd love to come back and try their other items.

Friends, this place is proof that compromise can be beautiful. Sweet meets spicy meets (meats?) savory. Every bite felt like someone dared a pitmaster and a pastry chef to create the ultimate brunch, and somehow they pulled it off. The only drawback? Ventilation. It's stuffy inside. Plan on smelling like a smoky glazed donut the rest of the day. PS. If anyone wants to bring this concept to KC, I'd like to be considered an early investor. Or at the very least, a highly enthusiastic taste tester. Holy hell. Brunch of champions.

The restaurant is cute and vibey. Reminds me of Austin, Tx a lot since there were many places like…read morethis one. It brought me back a great memory and the ambiance in general was nice. Parking wasn't an issue either. As I walked in, I was greeted by who seemed to be the owner and a young woman. Very nice, lovely staff. Everyone was so sweet. My only issue was that they didn't have a good portion of their menu ready and it's mostly because they didn't have the gravy for their dishes. The ones we wanted came with gravy and the staff let us know they were behind on making it. So we pivoted and tried their prime rib smash burger but unfortunately that felt a little disappointing. For the price that it was, you'd think that you'd get a decently portioned burger or some sides with it but it was super tiny. And the bun felt like grocery bread, the type you can get for a home bbq. It was still delicious but rather disappointing at the same time. We ended up having to order a third dish just to feel satisfied and at least it was very good. The bowls are worth it, maybe not the burger but the bowls for sure! I also snagged up a donut and truthfully that is one of the best donuts I've ever had. Another downside to this spot and why I didn't give it a 4 star is because how slow the service was. We watched a whole family get up and leave because it was taking so long, I actually felt bad for the staff and owner. The place has great tasting food, just needs a little shaping up. Maybe someone who can run the kitchen as a head chef. Overall, I still recommend the place but just know that you'll be waiting a while and some things may not be available.
