The opening of the shop in Dilworth was met with lines of patrons out the door and social media blowing up with photos of coveted donuts. All donuts are made to order and are always served warm and fresh."

The innovative shop recently signed a lease for their first brick-and-mortar store, to be located in The Design Center in South End."
