Moonlight Donuts — Restaurant in Fillmore

The most unpleasant and unnecessary experience my husband and I have had over a doughnut. The owner was incredibly rude. We went in there for a late snack. We were met with most nasty demeanor by the man behind the counter. I asked for a specific doughnut, didn't know that particular doughnut had filling. He proceeded to tell me that he knows what he's doing and knows which doughnut he would be giving me. Then accused me of somehow portraying me as somebody who came in there to make him fight with us.

Overall, it’s a nice spot for a sweet treat if you’re in the area, especially after a meal at the BBQ...
