    No donuts from 9pm-10pm - old batch sells out by 9pm, and new batch happens a little after 10pm.

    Do yourself a favor and stop by for an apple fritter. They always seem to have fresh hot ones whenever you stop by.

    Make sure you only go between 11-Midnite & order the donuts fresh out the fryer. Who cares about your diet :P

    Think you can inhale a giant donut in 3 minutes? Then consider their donut challenge. You get a free shirt if you finish.
