Mel-O-Cream Donuts — Restaurant in Springfield

I loved the building with its unique architecture. The roof with its cool curves is quite amazing how it was made. As a bit of a doughnut connoisseur (and the belly to prove it) I must admit I find these slightly overrated and overpriced. The OG glazed were a little stale for 9 am and not nearly as tender as I like a yeast doughnut to be (but they were a good size). The chocolate long-John’s were good and had a nice thick icing. I will say the service was fine but when I asked the person behind the counter to give us an assortment he picked the most boring options possible (kind of our bad but you could tell they were picking based on what they had the most of, we didn’t get any of the fancy fruit filled or cookie topped).

Would eat them if someone else brought them, yes.

Though there wasn’t much to choose from the lady at behind the counter was nice. We had a bit of small talk while I ordered. Getting to the location was a little weird. I think I had to turn on a back street or something. Like I said, not complaints, no compliments. It must be a...
