    My medium coffee and glaze donut
    Destiny A.

    At 7 am there's two types of people, the workers and the customers and the workers I can always at since I was a child coming have always been so welcoming and kind. Like any restaurant especially a good one, they are making the food such as breakfast items as you order as well as answering calls and the machine to take orders online from dashers and Ubers. Donuts are always fresh, food always made to order. And coffee always available with a little half and half a few drops of coffee in the sugar, and a donut while you wait for your meal. All within 10 minutes feels like a good time. Remember to take time to enjoy why we even go to places in general.

    Ultimate bacon,avocado melt. Pretty good

    Worst Yum Yum I've ever been to. I ordered a coffee and a bagel. Well worst bagel I've ever had. Was partially hard, way too much cream cheese and not even toasted. Tasted stale. Coffee rasted like it had been sitting for a while. Little burned. Then you have creamer but no splenda or stevia, especially if I don't do sugar. Ladies that work there are nice but horrible food. I would've rather had sandwich from Mc donalds and thats pretty bad.

    Amazing service very generous fast and kind. Beario said it's a 10/10 his first bite was so good he asked what's an odie? Clean area and neat even though it was packed. FOOD was great 3rd time will come more often.

    First time in this location , and what an unpleasant costumer service . While choosing which donuts I wanted , being talked with attitude in an odd way sensing the lady was annoyed just because I didn't know the correct name to each donut . Correcting me each time with an unpleasant attitude. With my child in my arms . Right after a white costumer shows up after me and her voice and tone changes right away . I ask for her name after paying and she says " for what " she knew what she was doing . Horrible , don't know who's mom is this but what a shame . Margarita

    I only ordered 2 dozen. She included the smaller versions of the 3 fancy donuts and then charged me extra for the larger version.

    I came early on a Sunday morning to order two dozen donuts in the end she charges me $12 more for three fancy donuts but never told me there was gonna be an up charge. I paid and left. Feeling like I got scammed. But everything was boxed up already. I told Norma Q, it's your job to notify the customer if they choose a donut that isn't included in a standard dozen. She agreed. It rubbed me the wrong way so this morning I called and asked to speak to a manager. The person said she can't give me a manager to speak to. She refused to tell me the name of the manager. She said she didn't know the name of the manager at her location. I just wanted to bring to the managers attention that it's a simple customer service protocol to mention there's an up charge for certain priced donuts. I'll never be going there again! Save your self and go anywhere else. Horrible customer service!

    Im surprised to see bad reviews, lol! I don't live near this location, but when im near I love coming here, their Oreo milkshake is amazing, there's bits of Oreo in the shake and a big Oreo on top, super creamy. I also get their chocolate on chocolate donut (picture), I get multiple of these when I go because I can't get enough, their chocolate donut holes as well! They have a strong not so strong chocolate taste, it's sweet, but not overly sweet, i definitely recommend! The Hispanic woman that works there is also super nice.

    Mocha Caramel Chilla & French Vanilla Caramel Chilla!

    I'm pretty surprised by the previous negative reviews I see on here- my boyfriend and I's experiences have much different. We've been in a couple times now, I've been to a decent amount of Yum Yums around the state, and I had to say that this location is my favorite. The first time we came in was around 4pm, after work. We got a half dozen and a french vanilla caramel chilla. There was a middle aged or younger hispanic lady working the front, and she was so polite and kind! She was patient while we decided, then ended up talking my boyfriend into getting a coffee he was on the fence about. Service was quick and pleasant. The chilla was soooo good, and the donuts, while probably not the most fresh at that time of day, were perfectly soft and tasted fresh enough to us! This is also the cleanest location I've been to. The floors were swept, walls were clean, and no dust on the counters or anything like that. My boyfriend went back after work to bring home a couple of bagels and a chillas again and the experience was also a good one- he's a fan of their pizza bagels!

    Cake donut with vanilla icing and rainbow sprinkles.
    Jenn R.

    Donuts are a staple at our workplace and if you show up empty handed, we judge you... hard. I wish I was joking, but it's the harsh artificial reality we've created in the office. Our newest co-worker understood the assignment and brought Yum Yum Donuts for all to partake in and honestly, good on him. There's nothing worse than dropping hints and bearing no fruit or in this case, donuts, from our labor. THE FOODS | Donut cuisine. I picked out... - Cake Donut with Vanilla Icing and Rainbow Sprinkles | Freshly made with a soft & chewy interior. A nice glaze of sweet icing covers the top, along with a pink-dominated helping of sprinkles. The size seems bigger than a typical donut, so much so that I didn't go back for seconds. WOULD I GO BACK? | Yes, because there are so many other donuts to try out and I barely scratched the surface.

    Glazed old fashion, classic glazed, vanilla cream, bluberry
    Andreas P.

    I don't know why there are so many comments on the service. My wife and I come here weekly for our donut cheat day. Every time the staff are super nice and chill. They're open 24 hours (we go at night after work and the donuts seem the best then ). It's a quaint place, let's get to the donuts: My go to is the glazed old fashion and blueberry cake. The blueberry cake donut is amazing highly recommend it. Their vanilla cream is also . I've had "gourmet" 7 dollar vanilla cream from another shop and it didn't compare to this one.

    the food i ordered to go had a hair inside it. I'm so upset I was really looking forward to eating my food, but once I saw the hair got disgusted.

    The donuts were awful. They were stale and tasteless. I had one of my staff go and pick up donuts from this location at 7:45am, she returned to the clinic, and they were awful. I called to report that the donuts were not fresh, and manager said they were fresh because the baker is on site for 24 hours. I explained they were dry and stale. She stated that she would give us a credit if we brought them back the same day. Unfortunately, it was during working hours, and we could not come back. I explained that we would no longer be going to this shop; she didn't seem bothered at all. Do not waste your money on day old donuts.

It can get pretty busy so come early to prep. Seating: Chill plenty of seating both inside and outside. Good for small groups with room for about 30 people. Vibes: Welcome to Normal Heights nothing too flashy, just plenty of local eateries and businesses. The spot itself is relatively clean, modern, pretentious. I dig the 90s house music in the background. This seems to be a trusted neighborly coffee shop with students are working, friends are catching up, and regulars seem to know the staff by name. It helps there's a pizza shop next door as well. FOOD / DRINKS Cherie Amour (Recommend) Delish. A latte with housemade cherry and almond syrup, and if you get it iced, it comes topped with a little cold foam. I dig the sweetness and the fruitiness of the cherry, it balanced out the bitterness of the coffee which was pretty cool. CUSTOMER SERVICE Friendly and welcoming. Sara helped contribute to the neighborhood feel of the place and made the experience easy and enjoyable. TL;DR OVERALL 4.5 Stars. Good coffee, reasonable prices, and a pleasant atmosphere. I know there are plenty of coffeeshops in SD but this is a cool neighborly one. It doesnt seem like a trendy place but a place more in community and steady service. Till next time, Scrimshaw! TIPS * Try the seasonal drinks--they get creative.
