Cronuts Donuts — Restaurant in Rogers

There's a lot I miss about my youth. When my one responsibility was school and I could eat whatever and whenever I wanted. A time when I had never heard of "intermittent fasting", let alone try to follow it. Don't get me wrong, I abhor people who talk about calories and gluten (especially if their dress size is in the single digits – crying for attention and humble bragging). That's not me. But, unfortunately, if I fed my food baby the way I wanted to, I would perpetually look like I had a shift at the Wonka Factory. Now let's get to what you're reading this for. The. Donuts. I remember when I first heard about Cronuts and I was dying to get my hands on them. Then I remembered that I now live in Rogers, Arkansas, and that I had to wait a good five years for anything that was in the realm of "hot" or "new" or "fad" to make it down here to Hawg Country. So right on cue, and a few glorious years in-between, I blinked twice and saw that NWA finally had Cronuts. And we do it right. Not only did we have them, someone literally named their store after it. Talk about livin' up to the hype and going for the gusto. Let me level set you. If Cronuts were carved into a tree trunk it would read Croissants + Donuts. They're a flaky, buttery croissant that is then dipped in glaze. The only thing to be mindful of is it can be a bit heavy so if greasy foods (and I say that in the best way, believe me) upset your stomach a bit, opt for the smaller donut-hole sized Cronuts. I'm actually a bigger fan of the smaller size because it also gives you the option of trying out all the different flavors. Once you've checked "find and eat a Cronut" off your bucket list, try the other donuts. To me, these are really underrated because they completely steal the show. Walk in, salivate, and look at all your choices. Let me just say, I love that the chocolate on top of the donuts look like it was put on with a ladle and not lightly smeared on top with a butter knife. The last time I went, I got a red velvet donut for $1. As in, I traded a worthless piece of paper for a red velvet donut, that was so thick and decadent. It looked like my red velvet donut ate another red velvet donut. The apple fritters are huge and are next on my list. If I can get past that ginormous cinnamon roll that is bathed in chocolate. As I opt for sweet I'll probably never make my way to the kolaches, the more savory of the offerings, but those received great reviews as well. The service there is also incredible. Every person you see is kind and eager to help and each person has a big smile on his/her face. On my first visit, I was asking the gentleman who I presumed owned the store, which donuts were the most popular (not shocking whatsoever, the Cronuts beat the others hands down and they often sold out). Seeing my inner struggle in choosing, he rang up my Cronut and, as a very thoughtful and generous surprise, tagging along inside the bag were multiple donut-hole sized Cronuts in varying flavors so that I could have a taste of them all (cinnamon was my favorite). Now, don't be expecting that, but how nice was that?!!Join me in supporting this delicious local business. Better yet, since my struggle is real, make sure you write your own five-star review and let me know...

Cronuts are good, but if you've had Cronuts elsewhere, they're a bit underwhelming. The apple fritters, though, are the best I've ever...

I am from California and it’s been hard to find a good donut spot that compares to the spots back home. Every time my family and I go back we make it a mission to bring back some donuts but they don’t taste the same since they are no longer fresh by the time we arrive to Arkansas. My fiancé and I went in today and from the start we saw a variety of donuts, cronuts, and Kolaches. We also noticed the menu included different flavored coffees, teas, and smoothies and breakfast items like burritos and biscuits.. Other places around here have pretty much the same donuts and instant coffee machines, so this was different and reminded us of home. We got two dozen of sorted donuts including two hot vanilla lattes, two iced Irish cream lattes and one caramel macchiato. We spent about $60, and honestly I feel like that is a good price for the quality we got. I’d also like to mention that they were very clean and organized and their customer service was very welcoming. My family loved everything and we now know where to come for donuts. We will be...
