Albert Lewis: Chris, “here” is big enough for everyone to have their own private universe. Thought is real. Physical is the illusion. Ironic, huh? Your brain is meat, rots, disappears. Do you really think that’s all there was to you? Like you’re in your house right now. You’re in your house, that doesn’t mean you are your house. House falls down, you get out and walk away. Richard Matheson.

Donut scent teases.
Looks like the houses in North Park…
Cool donut sign on the roof.
Why oh why did I never stop here. I have passed by many times on the way to Santee or El Cajon. It’s hard to miss the old building that looks like a house. I read this place was relocating at the end of the year and finally visited. Heaven scent greets you as you enter. Sugar glaze glints under the lights. Colored sprinkles like the colors of the rainbow. I would take home all these sweet morsels if I could. Staff was really nice as I tried to pick the perfect dozen donuts. So many choices…

The menu.
Fresh donuts!
Apple filled burrito.
Apple filled burrito was filled with delicious apple bits like an apple fritter. If you like apple fritters this is the donut for you.
Sugar raised & glazed donuts.
Sugar raised was light fluffy and had delicious sugar sprinkled on it.
Glazed was light fluffy and had a delicious sugar glaze on top for a bit more sweetness than the sugar raised.
Donut maker at work.
There are more donuts I want to try. Must visit this cool little shop again to get my donut fix.
Sky looks so beautiful after a eating donuts.

Came here originally to use coupons received at a previous Yelp event just to try out the food. Ended up really liking it, ordering more and stayed longer than planned. Woo hoo!

THE Best Halloween party I’ve ever been to! Yelp sure knows how to throw an awesome event!
Wonder Woman, Comic-Con geek, and Pirate Girl.
Standing in line, checking out all the costumes….love Michael Jackson dressed up in his Thiller outfit, Minions are just so cute, love the goggles! Whilst entering we came upon a libation booth with hands coming forth holding the much sought after Yelp shot glass, filled with a sweet concoction. Ears were met with the up beat music and a plethora of food booths. So many booths so little time! My favorite donut was the crème filled pumpkin flavor from Donut Bar and my favorite bite was Funky Fries & Burgers Hawaiian roll filled with barbeque pork, yummy! The hazelnut gelato from Gelato Paradiso was to die for.
