Inside Scoop
- The "hottest" spice option is genuinely very spicy, so order with caution.
- Consider the gluten-free waffle bun for a unique and tasty alternative.
- The venue is small, so it can get crowded, especially when waiting for takeout.
- Expect a wait of around 10 minutes for freshly made food, which is consistently worth it.
- The donuts are a must-try and often compared favorably to standalone donut bakeries.
