What to eat:

Earl Grey & Rose Cake ($5.00) - rich with earl grey flavour coupled with rose glazing. Hey You! price at $4.50.

Cookies & Cream ($4.50) was okay - good enough to fill that craving. Flat white (regular) was at $4.00.

Classic Jam Donut (left) and Maple Walnut & Brown Butter Raised (right) ($5.00 each).

Classic Jam donut is rolled in sugar and filled generously with house made jam right in the centre. Soft pillowy dough and not too sweet jam - the right formula for a perfect classic donut!

Maple walnut is probably my favorite flavour EVAR. Walnut bits sprinkled all over the glaze mmm yum so good! Earl grey and classic jam ties at second place, so yes please get maple walnut if you ever drop by for good, pricey donuts!
