BoSa Donuts came through when I needed them. The day after Memorial Day, I had a terrible croissant across the street that I only took two bites out of, and needed to fix my palate immediately. I saw this place and made a beeline for it as soon as we exited the other establishment. It was the right call.
My chum and I were both a little surprised when we came in. This isn't a negative or intended as criticism, but based on the immediate gentrified neighborhood, we were expecting a more upscale café vibe than this, which felt more blue collar and almost deli or bodega-ish. Similar to a Dunkin or other chain, there's a bunch of tables to sit at for a quick bite, and then toward the back a counter area where all of the donut options are there in their glory.
I opted for the Pink Donut (I'm sure it was technically Strawberry). Simple. Tasteful. Unlikely to upset me after the croissant experience. It was very tasty and honestly a slight cut above a Dunkin. It was cakier than their donuts, and the frosting wasn't as thick, which, depending on the type of donut works better, in my opinion. I started eating it before we left the building, and it was completely gone before we got back to the car.
The price point was perfectly reasonable - maybe $2, $2.50, which is right on par with this type of donut. And more importantly, they saved my breakfast from becoming a giant dumpster fire. It IS the most important meal of the...
Read moreI dont normally write reviews but what I experienced today from the staff was not ok. I went in to get a sandwich for an early lunch and had a nice young lady who was attempting to take my order. We were making nice small talk when an much older lady, whom of which I did not catch her name, came in and snatched the order from the younger employee I was talking to and told her to go do something else. I was completely taken aback by this behaviour between employees, especially when the young lady I was talking to had been such a friendly person. It was so rude to not only me, but to the other employee too. It also should be noted it was busy and other customers were waiting that she could have taken instead of me who was already being taken care of. I will not be taking my business here anymore as long as that older lady is still employed or behaving as she did today. It was completely...
Read more4 stars for the food… 1 star for the sass.
The sandwiches? Tasty. The service? Spicy—and not in a good way.
Here’s the deal: you fill out a little slip with your sandwich order (cute concept), the owner makes it, and then randomly tosses them into bags like sandwich roulette. Wrong slip, wrong bag, wrong sandwich. Chaos in carb form.
When I mentioned, kindly, that folks got the wrong orders, the owner hit me with the now-legendary line: “Buy it again then. Or check it first.”
At that point I couldn’t tell if I was at a deli or had wandered onto the set of Kitchen Nightmares: Local Edition. Plot twist—Gordon Ramsay isn’t coming, and the customer is definitely not right.
If you’re hungry and craving a bit of passive aggression, this place has both...
