Daylight Donuts — Restaurant in Madison

My husband spoke positively about the quality of the donuts with this company and wanted me to try them out. Since it was our first visit, we inquired about pricing for half dozen and a dozen donuts. The pricing wasn’t clear on the marquee and the lady helping us quoted $8 for half dozen and $12 for a dozen. While picking out our donuts, I noticed that when we asked for a maple bar and a Bavarian cream donut, she tried to put the maple bar back, as if we could only have one or the other. When she rang up our total, it came up to $17….How did $12(even after tax) add up to $17?!!! At that point I was over it and told my husband to just leave the donuts.

(And people complaining about small sizes maybe don't understand that cake donuts are meant to be smaller because they're denser or perhaps are used to the super size of the more trendy "gourmet" donuts. These...

A very nice small donut shop. I would say this place is made to be very simple with minimum decoration which truly shows and the atmosphere give off a family owned store. The older lady that greeted us was very friendly and to the point. Now the review of the donuts. To be concise, it was good. The donut bread had an airy texture being light and very soft. The variety of different types of donuts made it easy to have different kinds, however, they do run out very quickly. The prices are very reasonable and would highly recommend others to try and get some. Warning though one would need to get there early to get...
