These doughnuts are heavenly! "Fluffy" is an understatement. They're everything you wish a Krispy Kreme doughnut could be: unbelievably light and airy, perfectly sweet, and covered with all that crinkly, crumbly glaze we all know and love. Even their doughnut holes have a quality to them that rises far above most doughnuts you've had before.
The raised doughnuts are easily the star of the show here. I particularly like the sea salt flavor as it adds a refreshing depth. Other favorites among these are the strawberry glaze and the bacon maple bar. Steer clear of the Fruity Pebbles topping, as I found them a bit stale and chewy—certainly not worthy of the perfection on which they sat.
They also offer all the traditional doughnuts you'd expect, like cake, buttermilk, old-fashioned, and jelly-filled, plus some more unique options like mochi and croffles. These are certainly not bad, but not anything special. I would, however, definitely recommend the cruller, which again, is light and crisp to the extreme.
I also tried their classic milk tea with tapioca boba, which, again, is tasty but doesn't particularly stand out.
Lastly, the breakfast sandwich is quite good. It's a bit like a smash burger, made with a pretty run-of-the-mill mass-market croissant smashed to at least double its width then stuffed with TWO sausage patties, a fried egg, and melty cheese. It's nothing fancy, but it's salty and greasy and it hits the spot.
The staff here is incredibly kind and welcoming. I overheard them chatting with regulars about their kids and offering recommendations. They were kind enough to include a free bag of doughnut holes with my order, just because!
I am nothing but impressed with the quality of the food and the warmth of...
Read moreOhh good day donuts indeed!! FINALLY A GREAT DONUT SHOP! The only thing better than hot coffee with a fresh donut is a cold beer with boiled peanuts. And thanks to this place I get to enjoy all of this together!! (At home, I am unsure if they serve alcohol or not) I woke today, craving donuts and apprehensivly searched my phone with minimal hope. I knew the donut shops in the area, and dry, bland donuts just arent worth the cellulite. When. . . I sprang from my bed, like Jack Skeleton saying "What's this?! What's this?!. . " A new donut shop 5 minutes away? And they have boiled peanuts?! My heart fills with hope. "For those that know about boiled peanuts, know how much butter it takes to make a good donut." -Ancient southern proverb. Good Day Donuts absolutely started me off with a good, nay, great day. Alison, the (one of possibly) owner, is from Florida originally and her easy friendly demeanor shows it as much as her delicious baking. I saw signs for lunch starting at 11am and she said they plan to do dinner a couple nights a week (Thursday and Friday I do believe. Is there creole food in white centers future??!! fans self) they also serve Lopez Island ice cream. As I walked down 16th ave, enjoying what may be one of the last sunny fall days, i offer friendly passerby boiled peanuts, those who accept start confused and leave delighted as I happily point in the direction of the new donut shop (unwilling to share my sweet treats of course. . ) which, from the cinnamon and sugar twist, to the salted maple cake, to the ohmygawd apple fritter to the deliciously perfect glazed, nailed it on every front. Crispy, sweet, buttery and moist. Another absolute win for White Center. "Donuts make people happy" Alison, of...
Read moreI was pretty excited to visit Good Day Donuts on a Sunday afternoon. There was a line of two customers before us so I figured it wouldn’t take long to get some donuts, however, I was wrong. I believe one of the owners was talking to a customer for at least 10 minutes without paying any mind to the fact there were two other customers waiting to order. Ten minutes is not a long time, but she did not even acknowledge my existence or the party before us. I am not opposed to talking to regular customers, however it is good customer service to at least mention to the customers in line that they would be served soon and to apologize for the wait. It was frustrating to hear the first customer dawdle and talk about things not related to ordering food while seeing no sense of urgency by the owner to keep things moving. The owner could have even continued talking to the customer after the line had ended because it was a slower day. Eventually the next customers were placing their orders and who I believe was the other owner appeared. I thought he might get our order ready but he was basically just standing watching the Seahawks game. Only after asking him to bag our orders did he do so. I have heard great things about the owners and how they have really wanted to integrate into White Center. I really want them to prosper. Possibly I have high expectations for customer service, but this situation almost never happens in my experience. All that being said, the donuts are some of the best I have tasted which almost makes them worth the wait. The vegan maple donut, the maple bar, and the regular glazed were all delicious and perfectly fried. I would definitely consider visiting again but will have to be ready for a...
