Donut Central

Love the Donut Central! Super friendly and helpful staff, and the chocolate cake was so good I had to go back up and get another. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a good donut!

Went to that other donut place on National Rd today for first time. So I will compare here: First thing I noticed was service there was not near as good as Donut Central! Second, felt like they threw the donuts in a bag, and got home and they were all stuck together. At Donut Central the donuts are always placed nicely in a box! Third, none of the donuts were signed as to what they were and had to ask and they acted aggravated when I did. At Donut Central all the donuts are clearly marked as to what they are! Fourth , price was slightly less, but the donuts were smaller and not nearly as good as Donut Centrals!! Donut Central beats that other place hands down, and is locally owned 😁

Homer Simpson comes to mind when you see Donut Central's sign. The round donut, pink icing with sprinkles seen in homers hand - it could be their intention since the Donut is the same Donut seen in the TV series "The Simpsons". As you approach the building the hours on the door - Monday thru Saturday 6am - 2p. These hours prevent business from purchasing donuts for employees before 6am, a terrible decision for business I think. More money to be made earlier in the morning. Don't worry there is another place in town who allows you to buy donuts super early. When you walk in the space seems large and welcoming although you're not hit with the smell of donuts like you'd expect. Why?? Are the donuts not made here, maybe their trucked in. As you turn the corner you're in front of a small counter. If a large group or lines formed it could become contested. When deciding on the donuts the ones in front of you aren't the ones you get or wasn't in our case, but the donuts were taken from the racks behind the case which don't look as good as the ones in your face. The seating area is painted with inspirational sayings and large flowers. On the wall is large scrabble tiles allowing you to make words. Great idea! I visited moments after they opened (6am) and just a few people were in line. The staff was very friendly and greeted us. It is exciting to walk into a new business seeing the donuts all lined up ready for the picking. The donuts are priced from $1.20-$1.40 but it is cheaper to "mix" them and get the dozen. The box the donuts are packed in is a standard white box with no markings. Maybe later they'll get something stamped on it. Giving it just a bit more Pizzazz to the experience. The donuts are small compared to what I'm use to but still make your mouth water. The cinnamon nut rolls are thin and the maple icing leaves an after taste with a hint of grittiness. Although it was okay to eat it does appear to be frozen dough!!! If you love lemon filled - you'll want to get the powered lemon filled donut. Overall experience is what I'd expect, normal taste with no wow factor. Let's be honest it's simple donuts! I'm still loving Donuts N Coffee off State St. I wish them well, as this business is still growing from its early start.
