Not at all what I expected. My son and I get donuts every Saturday, mostly from a chain donut shop, which is alright, but I wanted something a little different and was not disappointed when I walked into this shop today.
First thing I saw was the safety glass protecting everything, but still showing off not only the product, but also the process for making fresh donuts. And these donuts are fresh. My son was enthralled watching the process for making them.
Now you won't get jelly filled or anything like that here as the cake style donuts are made to order.
I don't know what to order as this was my first time there, but most definitely wasn't disappointed.
I initially ordered two strawberry glazed donuts, which are my son's favorite flavor, and told the woman that was helping us to go crazy with the remaining 10 we ordered. She asked important questions to ensure I would get thing I would like, then just a few minutes later, handed me a dozen custom donuts that included sprinkles, maple bacon, chocolate frosting and others.
Digging in when we got home was worth the wait. The donuts were delicious. So rich I could only eat two, and the trip strawberry donuts were gone in what seemed like an instant.
I'll be sure to go here again and try...
Ā Ā Ā Read morePeace Love and Little Donuts is definitely a gourmet donut shop, that, while expensive, is a nice break from the standard grocery store fare.
The shop is on the smallish side, though there's enough room to at least navigate. There are pretty garish colors everywhere.. tie dye, psychedelic, etc. There are numerous posters of Jerry Garcia, Jim Morrison, etc, clearly trying to bring back the late 60s & early 70s era. The success of that varies.
The donuts are small. When they say Iittle donuts, they are not kidding. Prices are on the slightly more expensive side, especially if you're used to 79 cent grocery store donuts. They have an amazing variety of flavors, though. The gourmet donuts include lucky charms, Flinstones, girl scout thin mints, banana split, and so on. The drinks are standard coffee, pop, and tea. The frappe's are outrageously priced for what you get, and aren't that amazing for the price. We tried them once, and once was enough.
All in all, a nice specialty shop when you need a donut fox or for a special Saturday morning with the kids. Otherwise, I'd tend...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe've gotten donuts here 2x. The first time the service was rather quick and efficient. The second time there were 2 customers in front of us with a dozen donuts each. What one has to understand is that each donut is decorated as ordered so one person is decorating and one person is frying. It was at least 20 minutes before we were waited on. There has to be a more efficient way. I also used a Groupon both times. I definitely wouldn't buy these without a discount as the donuts are rather expensive. They are small cake donuts, about 2" in diameter. There are 3 or 4 different levels of donuts as far as decorations and cost. The donut itself is very good and I'm not a big cake donut eater. Definitely worth a try. Employees are friendly and as efficient as possible in spite of the inefficient...
