Red Eye Cafe and Donuts — Restaurant in Cambridge

Date of Visit: Saturday, April 27th, 2019. & May 4th, 2019 We visit the Homesense in this plaza quite often, and saw this cafe many times, but never gave it much thought. It is not glamorous from the outside but do not judge a book by its cover. We looked them up on line and saw Red Eye Cafe on Instagram - and things looked MUCH more impressive. The donuts and coffee looked beautiful, and very inviting. The next time we went to Homesense, we made a point of going in to Red Eye Cafe.

There was a line up as long as the cafe- which means that others Love this place. there were many people seated enjoying great cafe-au-lait/cappuccinos etc with a donut. When we got to the front we saw all of their amazing donut options. The flavour options were quite impressive. We ordered a dozen and the price was $20 for 12. This is very reasonable for a good quality donut. (i Never compare good donut shops to that of the Big Chain named after a hockey player)

The donuts were very light and fluffy, non-greasy. they were nice and fresh. The flavours were amazing. My personal favourite is the Lemon meringue pie -- I could probably eat a dozen of them at one sitting.

These are great donuts. Buy some for your family and friends, or for yourself. But do not over buy - because you will want them when they are fresh.

Enjoy these delightful...

Saturday Feb 9, 2019 So excited to learn that there's a new doughnut place in cambridge. Came over at 4 today in the line up very excited to buy and try. Line up is not properly coordinated, i ended up overtaking not knowing that the people in front of me are not being served yet(they were on the first till and when the second till call out i came over.. i apologize because it was not my intention- i can wait. ) So when it was my turn i was smiling broadly telling this young girl cashier that it was my first time and very excited. I even asked how long this place was opened because i was not aware. * She said 7 months. Without any smile or acknowlegement of thanking me for coming over.* Did i mention I was really excited and happy i found this place. This is very very very underwhelming. I got my 6 doughnuts.. That's it. Customer service way out the door. If customer service is not important to this new store then you are not important to me. I can get my sweet fix somewhere else.

Sidenotes--- being busy is good. Customers knows you are busy. We do not mind waiting... Just give us A simple smile and acknowledgement of giving you business.

I WILL NOT BE BACK!!

I can probably teach you some guidelines on good...

Nice place! I enjoyed the Coconut Cream donut and the Cookies N' Cream one. The donuts aren't too sweet. They are just a tad bit sweeter than I would like, but they make up for it with lovely flavours. The donuts are fluffy (not dense).

Disliked: I really disliked the butter pecan donut. It didn't taste like a butter pecan flavour at all; it actually tasted like a meat donut -- really disgusting. I wondered if they baked it with their meat pies or cooled the donut too close to the pies? It is apparently one of their popular donuts, so I am guessing that something must have gone wrong. A family member of mine tried the donut and had the same thoughts about the meat flavour.
