I will be honest. We wanted to dislike these donuts. While this place was actually super adorable inside and really fun with penny candy, lots of neat things to look at, and fun decor, the staff was just super rude. They were rude on the phone when I called that morning with a few questions, AND rude in person when we came in to get our donuts. They seemed super irritated that we wanted to actually eat there - you know - at the tables they provide for their customers to eat at. I felt like we were bothering them. Worst of all they gossiped loudly and spitefully about each customer that came in, the moment they each walked out the door (I can only imagine what they said about us). So I REALLY wanted to hate these donuts and write a terrible review here and put it up on the interwebs for all 20 people who read this blog to see because WOULDN'T THAT HAVE JUST SHOWN THEM! HA!, but darn it all if these were not the best freaking donuts we have had to date. Grrr it makes me so mad how good they were!! But if you can stand the overall unfriendly vibe of the place, definitely get the cinnamon sugar cake donut, or the sour cream old fashioned, or really any of them. To me, the best of the lot was the vanilla frosted jelly-filled which was a taste of heaven - served with a heaping side of curt one word answers if you dared to ask for a napkin.
M, age 11: I had the coconut donut, and I must say that it was the moistest donut I've ever had! The taste was OK, but I was blown away by the texture. Also, I had a bite of the powdered sugar donut, and it was pretty good, but messy. They also have a bunch of cool candy on the walls, like pop rocks, Charleston Chews, and candy cigarettes. But, the employees were mean, so. That was a minus. but overall I would give Angie's Sugar Buzz Bakery 6/10
L, age 8: I liked my donut. I had the cinnamon donut. I liked this shop because they had fun chairs to sit in.
K, age 6: I liked my jelly filled donut and Mommy's old donut. This maybe would have been my best place. Molly's donut I maybe didn't like that much. (editor's note: Mommy had the old FASHIONED donut lol).
Bottom Line: So, unanimously, we really liked the taste of these donuts. But I refuse to give this place 4 thumbs up and a positive review, so I am gonna just call this one a mixed bag due to the staff and the negative vibe they gave off. And I feel like that's pretty generous. Oh well. On to the next place!
Attitude is everything
