Dandee Donut Factory.

I tried a breakfast sandwich, just because I wanted to see what a non-donut breakfast item was like. I went with the steak, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich and it was fantastic! Forget about FiveBucks breakfast sandwiches! This was a great piece of steak cooked perfectly so that no bite was chewy. There was never a moment when i bit into the sandwich and all the meat came out because it was tough. Not the case here. It was really good. I'd definitely order it again.

Now on to the donuts. What can I say! They had an amazing selection of donuts at 7:45am on Tuesday. Basically every donut you see on their webpage was in stock - in plentiful stock - on the baking racks. I haven't had a bad donut from this place. They are amazing. My only wish is that they'd open a location in Asheville, NC! With donuts this amazing and this fresh around, I don't know why anybody would ever bother with Dunkin' I just don't get that fascination.

UPDATED: Thanksgiving Day 11/23/23 I went to Dandee Donuts at about 8:15am on Thanksgiving Day and the place was slammed! Almost every seat at the counter was taken and the line was starting right at the door when you walk in. That being said, Mark was running the register along with other staff. There were multiple people behind the counter waiting on customers efficiently, effectively, and in such a friendly manner. I heard Christine wishing people a happy Thanksgiving as they were leaving. Overall, even though they were turning and burning in there at a quick pace, they still took time to give people that Dandee Donut friendly customer service they are known for. The donuts and coffee, as usual, were spot on. Mark and Chris have a top notch crew at all levels in this shop; it feels like they are a family working together, so there's been good team-building and it shows in everything from the food from the grill, the baking, the front counter service, to the cleanliness of the restaurant. Speaking of clean, they have a beautifully remodeled, spotless men's room. I'm sure the ladies' bathroom is just as outstanding.

A couple of things not to miss - their breakfast sandwiches are the best. The steak, egg, and cheese on a bagel (made in house) is killer. The steak is tender, cooked to perfection on the griddle, the eggs are fresh (not premade) and the sandwich is huge. They put every other breakfast joint to shame with this sandwich alone, but they do lunch sandwiches, soups, and so much more.

If you're looking for an old-time donut shop with style, culture, and the friendly feeling of a diner, give Dandee Donuts a try. It's clear from my observations over the past few days that they have a group of locals who are regulars. You can't find this kind of experience of an old-fashioned donut shop/diner any more - except at this Dandee Donuts! Ain't happenin' at Flunkin' Donuts for sure; some of them are so soulless, they only have a drive thru.
