    Cinnamon Crumble Donut and Cinnamon Bun Donut
    Shannon B.

    These donuts and pastries are delicious! Everyone was friendly and they get people in and out quickly. We got a bunch of stuff and they were all delicious. We enjoyed the cinnamon bun, crumb donut, jelly donut and chocolate glazed and sprinkled donut. Highly recommend

    This is my first time coming in person to place my order at Sam's Donut Shop with Lee who is Sam's brother. Lee said that Sam's Donut Shop has been in business for 20 years now and is still going strong! It's a family owned business.. My order I placed with Lee for my breakfast was the one order of the Sausage, Egg, Lettuce, Tomatoes and mayonnaise Toasted Croissant, one large decaffeinated French Vanilla Coffee, and for my dessert I ordered with Kim whose Lee's mother one Chocolate Covered Round Donut and Kim was very sweet, she gave me 3 FREE Glazed Donuts Holes. My total cost was $12.00. That is a very affordable price and I am still eating and enjoying my Hot Decaffeinated Coffee with a Chocolate Covered Round Donut. It's feels great to eat inside Sam's Donut Shop. Both of their shops doors are open and a really cool breeze is blowing inside this donut shop. While I was eating my breakfast Croissant Sandwich I saw several customers ordering their favorite donuts. Sam's Donut Shop bakes their donuts every morning none of their donuts are frozen . I will eat her again soon.

    Also, Cronuts are served here. I had noticed that they had a poster advertising that croissants were made and served here. "Do you have a cronut?", I asked. The clerk/owner/donut maker dude pointed inside the very modest selection of baked goods behind the counter. 10am on this Friday and there was a dwindling assortment of the various baked goods. "I'll have one of those, one of those and one of those", as I pointed to some of my old time favorites. "Let me try one of your cronuts too", pointing now to the donut-shaped, layered and glazed croissant. Nothing too special on the appearance, but being the second cronut I have sampled, I find it to be superior to the others that I had before elsewhere. Layers upon layers that just pulled apart like pulling apart a croissant . . . just with an edge of glaze. "Awesome". So we get in the car to drive off and begin to sample our breakfast treats and we find that the owner/server had put 3 or 4 regular donut holes in each of the bags as well. Those seemed to make our visit that much more special. The donuts and other treats here made our morning. We are going to have to remember this place. Dicks

We arrived around 7ish to a full house and although they close at 8pm, they were still happy to serve us despite a 20-30 min wait prepping other orders, and they did not rush us to leave finishing our dinner. We ordered a platter, that came with coconut rice and garlic bread, elote mac and cheese, fried brussels and carrot cake! The chicken was delicious crispy, juicy and flavorful and was def the highlight of the meal along with carrot cake. The variety of sauces made something for everyone even though the chicken didn't even need sauce. The mild sauces were a hit for our fam. They offer soda water alongside regular water and fountain drinks which was highly appreciated, we are a bubbly fam! I love the idea of the coconut rice but also offering plain white rice would be a great option, as well as fresh steamed veggies or a side salad option. The elote mac and cheese didn't quite hit the spot for me but I would try the regular mac next time! The dining room had indoor and outdoor option, love the casual concrete dining style. They were super mindful of cleaning tables for new folks to sit down among the busy dining room. Plenty of parking in the lot but can see it getting full quickly as it seems to be a relavtively new plaza with more food biz still opening up. Would come back again for the chicken and try some of the other sides!

It took me a minute to really decide what I wanted and now I'm craving to come back. I am not surprised how busy it was when we arrived. It definitely confirmed this place is really good. We ordered the cranberry turkey sandwich, Italian and a cup of broccoli cheddar soup to share with an extra side order of sourdough. The sourdough alone was phenomenal. Crusty exterior with a fluffy interior that just melted! I think I scarfed down my sandwich a little too quickly because everything was balanced so well, and the bread absolutely divine. The soup was also great, and paired extremely well with the sourdough bread. I wished there was a location closer to me, however if I'm in the area I will always opt to come here!

The cranberry turkey sandwich is absolutely delicious! They even have different soups and salads too. You can also buy loaves of baked bread to take home, which is always a good idea. I recommend the par-baked baguette, so you can take it home and enjoy it extra warm! Ordering ahead is easy and definitely saves a lot of time. The only downside is the parking lot, it's small and not the best, but there is parking available. Overall, well worth a visit for a quality sandwich. The location has ample seating inside and is always clean.

The food is always so good. The young man who took our order was nice. My daughter and I sat at a table and got our drinks. I ordered 3 sandwiches, 2 to sit and eat and the 3rd to take home to my son. He loves board and brew. The problem began when Ashley, a worker came to our table and gave us two baskets with half a sandwich in each baskets. I told her "Sorry but this sandwich is not ours, I ordered 3 sandwiches, she looks at me and rolls her eyes and say,"No you didn't you guys are sharing one sandwich" Again I tried to tell her and she has the nerve to say "Look I'm trying to make you understand that you guys are sharing a sandwich, she turns to walk off and I grab my receipt. I told her here is my receipt, I hand it to her and the only thing she says, "well I guess someone made a mistake. She gives me the receipt and walks away???? No apology! Ashley's tone and demeanor was so disrespectful and I truly don't understand why she acted this way. She was so confrontational, I don't understand why? I've never encountered such a rude employee at board and brew to the point my daughter was tearing up, how rude she was to us. Another young man came to bring us the correct order. I thanked him and asked him what was the young ladies name? He told me "Ashley, Why? I didn't want to upset my daughter anymore, by telling him what just happened. I just told him, I want to know her name. I couldn't eat my lunch, I was so upset my daughter was so upset. We grabbed our lunches and went home. I've never been talked that way and so rudely. This type of unpleasant and unprofessional behavior & attitude is uncalled for. Do better board and brew. I'm so disappointed and will never spend my money at this location, ever again.
