An unexpected find! So glad we stopped at the Flanders Donut & Bake Shop. I'm reminded of the old prayer "Oh happy fault of Adam": what seemed a mess turned out to be a wonderful treat. We were northbound from NJ to the Cape, with the strategy of beating traffic and getting gas at Costco East Lyme. We arrived at Costco only to find the gas pumps wouldn't open for another hour. My wife was hankering for a cup of coffee and a bite to eat, and started looking for that big Donut chain. As we looked for an alternate gas station we saw Flanders Donut & Bake Shop. Flanders Donut & Bake Shop has a rich variety of donuts. We had the blueberry filled glazed donut that was a special treat, along with our coffee. There was a substantial line at 6:00 on a Saturday morning of a long holiday weekend: it moves somewhat quickly, but beware: get to the head of the line, gaze at all the delights you behold, you'll be forgiven if you lose your resolve. I saw some complaints about the slowness of the service: the staff is knowledgeable and efficient, the service slows as the head of the line swoons in anticipation of the ecstasy that awaits. Flanders Donut & Bake Shop is cash only, although they thoughtfully provide an ATM. Parking was adequate at the early time we visited. Perhaps what we liked best about this small local shop was the bonhomie among the customers: each bonded to the other in anticipation of our early morning "sin". Try the Flanders Donut...

Sadly the woman working the window and the manager confused me for an annoying costumer! I was speaking low at the window and it really upset the woman working the window named Emily. When I get to the window she continues to argue with me as I am trying to clear up that she has me mistaken for someone else. I am obsessed with their coffee and I understand the importance of customer service ( I worked in that Field for years before becoming a preschool teacher) so being polite and using my manners are important to me! I was just told “ I heard you do this often” while still being accused of being this annoying customer. Sadly my sons witnessed this as I was suppose to be getting donuts for them. I’ll admit I became passionate to because in a weird way it was important for me to try to show them I’m not who they think I am & that I refer this spot to everyone. In the end nothing was resolved. I didn’t purchase anything besides my coffee because if you’re a mom of multiples you understand the need for a great coffee! I explained the situation to my fiancée and shared with him that I would like him to go inside Flanders in the future and bring up my experience there today in hopes of clearing things up. I admit I became emotional when I left and have hoped that when that “annoying customer” comes to Emily window .. she will remember me and then understand how this al could of...
