Sweet Al's Donut Shoppe — Restaurant in Cameron

This place used to be the best place to get donuts in the world. I can remember being a little kid and my grandpa taking me up there to get donuts and watch the trains. But since Al has sold it the place has really went downhill. I stopped in this morning September 30, 2020 got 2 glazed donuts and a filled long John. The glaze donuts were cold not room temperature cold but been in the Refrigerator cold and they are not near as big as he used to be. Pretty sure they were made the night before. The long John left a lot to be desired as well. The pudding had a funky taste to it and the donut itself was super small compared to how they used to be. Long story short I feel like they are cutting corners to save money and their product is paying for it. If they keep it up I’m sure they won’t be around much longer.

Awesome donuts, pastries, muffins, brownies and cookies and crossiants. They have a breakfast lasagna with or without gravy that is "da bomb", also biscuits and gravy and kolaches ( need to pre-order] before 5 a.m.) Hot tea or coffee. There is also cappuccinos, iced coffee or frappes. Milks, water, juices and sodas. Super friendly service. They also take cash, check, credit or debit. They sell out super fast, so to make sure you have yours " call in before 5 a.m. (preorder). The place that leaves you longing to return. And don't forget the all famous fritters (apple always other flavors on Friday and Saturday). Fast and friendly service with a smile....

The apple fritter was light on apples and almost devoid of spice. It tasted very empty and of sugar.

However! The blueberry cake donut was moist and flavorful, very delicious. I regret getting any specialty donuts and should have gotten cake donuts only. Had that happened this review would have...
