    Donuts- The cinnamon rolls were the best
    Amelia B.

    4 Stars to make sure this place gets some visitors and stays open. This is the kind of place that you dont know about unless you pass it flying down the highway or are from the area. We did the first- so when we were early to check into our Air BnB, we swung back around to check this out. Don't put off by the fact that this place doesn't seem like it has cleaned in years. The actual donut case looked pretty ok. I picture the lil old man waking up everyday and putting on his uniform of a white shirt and tan or black pants and shuffling to work. I'm not sure if the donuts are actually made on site, because it is so small, or if they are brought in and resold ( the donut bag actually was from a place in Royal Oak that I think are now closed). The prices were good though. When i walked in, the man asked if I had cash, so i think its cash only. No problem. Looking around, they do have Beer and Wine as mentioned in the signs outside, but the layer of dust on those Giant Carlo Rossi bottles was an inch thick. The coffee station was (at 2pm) looking like it was the first pot and only pot that will stay there until he closes up tonight. Also, the counter and back counter is where rnadom things go to die. Gloves, tape rolls, odd business cards, and probably anything else you would need in a scavenger hunt can be found. I say all that to say this- the man was still a charming old man who may appear a lil gruff but is most likely a big ol softy and only adds to the charm of this place. He pulled the tray out and says these are the fresh ones, so i picked a half dozen from the ones available, and he threw in a freebie as well- which was sweet of him. The cinnamon rolls were the best for sure- and were indeed very fresh. They were great when we woke up in the Air Bnb the next day with our coffee. I also picked up 2 Meat Pasties- and he gave me cooking directions- which i appreciated.

    GREAT donuts for cheap! Very nice old man and quality selection. Closed on Sundays because that's the right thing to do.

    Donuts and owner are amazing! The rest of the store not so much. It is definitely worth the stop best apple fritter you will ever have!

    Inside is a little cluttered but it makes up for it with the friendly owner and the pride he takes in making a great product.

    I rode my motorcycle 40 minutes to check out Max's Donut Shop after seeing their mouthwatering…read morephotos online. I pictured myself sitting at a counter with a hot cup of coffee and a fresh donut. Unfortunately, the reality didn't match the photos. The shop itself is a bit dingy and dim, and the counter shown in pictures was blocked with boxes and plastic--no place to sit. I arrived before 11 AM on a Friday and the selection was already pretty picked over. The one worker got swamped when a crowd came in, and the tight space made the whole experience feel rushed. I ordered two donuts (cheap, which was nice), but they were tossed in a bag together with no divider, so the frosting stuck together which made it a pain to get them out of the bag to eat. No napkins were given. Fortunately, I remembered to ask for some. One donut was chocolate with sprinkles, the other had buttercream filling with white frosting. Both were decent, nothing amazing. I tried to sit outside, but the chairs were old and dirty. They looked liked they came from an old elementary school. To top it off, someone came up trying to sell me a "$600" motorcycle helmet for $100. I decided to make a quick exit. If I lived nearby, I might grab a dozen to-go, but it's not worth a special trip. Just average overall.

    Donuts are great.... when they are open. Today is the 4th time I have driven all the way over there…read moreonly to find " sorry we closed". Each time was during posted business hours. Never again.
