    Midtown Donuts - sweet sweet donuts

    Stopped by Midtown Donuts about 5 minutes before closing and had one of the best experiences. I…read morepicked up an apple fritter, a blueberry donut, and a red velvet donut, and the sweet lady helping me surprised me with a free second apple fritter and one of their famous cronuts. Her kindness alone would have earned five stars! Now for the donuts... wow. Seriously some of the best I've ever had. Everything was incredibly fresh, soft, and packed with flavor. The apple fritter was amazing, the blueberry and red velvet were delicious, but that cronut absolutely stole the show. It was so flaky, buttery, and soft that I can only imagine how incredible it must be straight out of the fryer. Great donuts, amazing customer service, and such generous people. I'll definitely be back. Thank goodness I can walk there from my place because I have a feeling I'm going to become a regular!

    I stopped by Midtown Donuts in Memphis because the donuts in the display looked delicious, and I…read morewas excited to finally give the place a try. When I walked in, the store appeared clean for the most part, and everything looked fresh. I ordered a kolache first and then decided to get a red velvet donut because it looked so good. However, before the employee could put the donut in the bag, I noticed a large horsefly flying around inside the display case, landing and flying around the donuts. I was instantly disgusted and reacted immediately. The employee seemed to acknowledge it, but her reaction felt more performative than genuinely concerned. It didn't seem to faze her, even as another customer who had already ordered coffee was also watching what was happening. I understand that bakeries and donut shops with open display cases can occasionally have issues with insects, and I'm not saying people shouldn't visit this business. Everyone can make their own decision. But personally, once I saw a horsefly flying around food that was about to be served to me, I couldn't bring myself to knowingly eat it. What surprised me even more was that after seeing my reaction, the employee still asked if I wanted the kolache. At that point, I had completely lost my appetite and simply walked out. I was genuinely looking forward to trying Midtown Donuts, and it's disappointing that my first experience ended this way. Unfortunately, because of what I witnessed, I won't be returning.
