Seating was open and welcomed as the temps were over 90 outside. I also notices a great hotdog, chip and a drink deal they offer. Didn't try but will remember for the future and leave room for ice cream after!!

I ordered 1 scoop of Cookies n' Cream and he ordered 2 scoops of the salted carmel brownie. My was very good. It was creamy and just enough cookie. My husband liked his but said didn't taste the Carmel. The inside was clean and lots of seating. They could use a few more wall decorations, but again they just opened so I am sure it is a work in progress. I love the fact that they include all dietary options. They have dairy free ice creams, no sugar ice creams, and gluten free cones and cookies. Way to go Tennessee Central on that!!!

Over the years on these vacations Toby and I have stopped in a handful of donut shops we were told…read morewere the best in the area. Whether it's wanting to take a break from the large platters we have in the morning usually on these trips are just genuinely craving something sweet, most donut shops are just okay. Ralphs was a genuine find. Not only was the glazed exactly like in an old-fashioned--the sourdough taste and such good nook and crannies texture-wise--but that maple bar was probably the best one I've ever eaten. The donut was soft and pillowy with a good chew to it. But that maple topping was like the perfect texture; it was runny but still had real heft to it. It was like someone put pure molten maple on top and if you shook it too hard like a wet dog it would all just go flying. Every bite I wish I could repeat because it was a donut that seemed to go by too fast. The counter person couldn't have been more friendly. She was like tidal wave of warmth and kindness to us. I wish all folks who worked morning shifts could be this nice. The ambiance was good. It was a little tiny with the counter space. But the fact it is a donut shop and not a restaurant makes the fact they could pack in twenty or so seats at all amazing. And of course they'd be packed with customers sitting shoulder-to-shoulder. If I lived close to a donut shop like this , I'd want to come every morning for my donuts and coffee. I'd definitely get fat here. Overall, this is my ideal donut shop. There's a reason we made the 60 mile drive here for a few donuts and milk, and then drove 60 miles back to the hotel. There are just some donut joints that are worth a 120-mile donut run.

There are few places left that I have been that truly evoke nostalgia. The kind of nostalgia that…read moreeven my granny would identify with. A slower pace. An old Coca Cola menu board. The smell of fresh yeast and powdered sugar. Ralphs. Please never change. Not the original donut cases. Not the recipes. Nothing. We drove all the way from Nashville to Cookeville for the privilege of buying a dozen of these heavenly donuts. Nothing inventive really. But a flavor profile that wins every time.

I had the durazno (peach flavored) paleta, it had real fruits, perfectly creamy, it has that real fruit taste and not the artificial flavored taste. They had so many flavors to choose from! They have ice cream bars, gelatos, savory snacks like elote, and shakes too. The place is clean, and has a nice atmosphere. I highly recommend! Try their desserts, you won't be disappointed!

I was a regular customer and was always grateful to send friends here. The past few times I have come in have not been good and I don't plan on coming back. Unfriendly service Food is not good Food never comes the way described on the menu Things on the menu are not included and what is included in the food is not on the menu Everything is over salted The garlic sauce is just gross ranch dressing It takes forever for the food then it's not worth the money spent I'm really disappointed because there aren't many restaurants here that have international cuisine that offers authentic flavors. I love trying different international dishes that are authentic instead of made for the pallet of picky eaters.

So, what the employee thought we ordered and he made was considerably more expensive than what we in fact wanted. There was obviously a breakdown in communication due to language.

Last time we went we ordered a couple slices and someone forgot about them in the oven. It was no problem because we were dining in, enjoying our beer. The slices came out excellent as always, they threw in a free dessert and a discount for the extended wait time which was literally only five minutes. That was a good move on their part because now every time I go back I'll be getting a chocolate mousse. It is so rich and delicious.

We also bought four beers from the cooler. My only two knocks were how slow the service was- they seemed to be more interested in preparing to close than taking care of their patrons, and the .50 cents I was charged for a side of mayonnaise. We spent over $60 (including tip)... was the .50 cent charge really necessary?
