Love the taste and texture of the donut. It’s cheaper to take away than eating there.

Ok I was VERY skeptical because a SOY donut. But dang, I was proved wrong. It tasted nutty and sweet. We got a matcha donut, and the matcha glaze was not overpowering and it went well with the donut. What surprised me the most was with how dense the donut was. 1-2 of those with a coffee would be a pretty decent breakfast. When you have the chance, make sure to check out Nico donuts
