And the staff are super sweet, they even put a nice little doodle on my order!"
"Man.... man I dont know why it took me so long to eat here, but thank God I finally did . That dang Cinnamon & Sugar Mikronut Powdered Mikronut and Glazed Donuts ....... jesus be a fence man. This unlocked a sweet tooth i didn't know i had. Man them cronuts so dang good. Im mad i only purchased one of each. The cronuts are fresh and flaky too?? I wouldve taken a picture but couldnt stop eating after the first bite. Heck, they actually look exactly as advertised. If you are a chocolate lover(im not) you will love the Chocolate Covered Donuts . I don't like chocolate like that (but i still get chocolate donuts lol) but it was still good!
