Great option for vegan goodies. I went by around 10 and the donut selection was a bit slim. Looks like there's a lot of demand for their stuff. They have Thai tea too.

While things getting sold out are a good sign for an establishment, it's reasonable to expect some level of demand forecasting so that enough quantities are made available.

I highly recommend this shop if you...
