I hate donuts in general - too sweet, too cakey/ crumbling and dense, too crusty, too creamy. You…read morename it, I feel like donuts bite the big one. Lo and behold, my husband made me go get some donuts during the car show, and I'm in disbelief we found donuts I actually enjoyed and would return to get more! And I had more than one! This is the best donuts I have had in my LIFE (40+ YRS)

I have recently been on a challenge to find mochi dough donuts nearby. This is the closest so far…read moreand so much better than what I had tried in another state while on a trip. That one was a chain, this is clearly a local family operation made fresh with from scratch recipes. The frosting dips were amazing as, though a sweet frosting were clearly made with genuine fruit. They hade a display case on the counter with one each of many flavors. As we chose the flavors we wanted, they seeped back and picked up freshly made donuts and dipped each into a container of the flavor requested . They then placed them into a box, no preset number required and why I never had a traditional Asian flavor at the place on my trip. We took them out into the food hall combined seating to sample them. We could not wait. The sad part about doing that is that set into the small box, they had stuck together in a sticky pile. Persisting them dry a little before packaging does have some benefits after all. Im not sure how to effectively do this though as the place is tiny and the line constant. Maybe a small reserve of not popular flavors would be worthwhile for busy Saturday mornings . It a close call between perfection and almost. Same with my stars, 4.5 would be perfect. We drove out that way for specialty local business for hiking gear repair and never knew how close this place is. We use another business nearby so we can stop here again later this winter. The flavors we got were ube( sweet potato) and surprising bland as I love sweet potato " anything"," strawberry, passion fruit and vanilla. My husband loves vanilla anything and felt it was a tie for me of strawberry and passion fruit. Park in the mall parking where you see the sign for The District and go in that door next to Otis Arts and Crafts and walk across the communal seating to the door for Nok's. The friendliness can't be beat!

Beautiful shop with the friendliest staff. They have chocolates, coffee, and gelato. I am not in…read morethe area very often, but whenever I am in the area, I always stop by. Their chocolates are outstanding, and their gelato is tasty. If I can't decide what to get or I don't really want anything, then I still buy a small package of chocolate peanut clusters. No regrets because I eventually find myself in the mood on another day. They even have huge chocolate sculptures. I can't imagine who buys them. But I've decided... this year I will buy an obnoxiously huge chocolate sculpture for my holiday party. And we will smash it and eat it at the end of the party. It will be glorious.
