Emily's Donuts and Café

So good! Sweet, perfect flavor, and awesome themes. Emily's had a variety of different options, chocolate, vanilla, glazed, sugar, cinnamon, etc. So many good choices. We stopped in early in the morning during prime time donut consumption, and even though there was a little bit of a line we were in and out within minutes.

The nice woman behind the counter was very welcoming and efficient. She seemed very friendly and patient with my kids who could not decide what type of donut they wanted even after looking for 10 minutes. They did have a few seats inside if you wanted to stay and eat your deliciousness, or some outdoor seating as well. Looks like they did offer a variety of coffee drinks as well, which looked good.

They have good unique donuts if you're looking for something outside the norm of chain donut shops. You must get there early if you want the best selection. I enjoyed the Boston Cream, Frosted Vanilla, and the variety of donut holes.

The donuts are quite tasty and different than the typical donuts that you can find at Dunkin' or Duck. The cronuts are good and you should order these ahead so you don't miss them. Otherwise the star item are there fritters. While we got the apple, I'm sure the blueberry would be great too. Ordering online was easy and pick up at the store was a cinch. No curbside on the day we got there, but it also seems that they do Doordash as well. Coffee was ok according to the husband. Would get donuts here again.

The fritters are unearthly and enough to feed a small developing nation! Donuts, cronuts, specialty pastries - you cannot go wrong with any choice you make. But the blueberry fritter will keep you coming back.

This is what other donuts aspire to be!
Price might be a little high but that is all donuts these days.

Donuts also stayed pretty fresh as I had left overs next day.

I saw someone gave 1 star crying about price and how it was middle class hipsters or something that like it.
I’m here to say I might be middle class but I know a good donut. Don’t let the haters with 1 star sway you the wrong direction.

These donuts are SO GOOD!! We got there shortly after 6am, and I was blown away by the variety and the staff member that helped us was so sweet and helpful. I ended up ordering a whole dozen knowing dang well I had no business ordering that many, but I wanted to try as many as I could! The PB&J was probably my favorite, but there was not a single donut in the box that I did not like. Also ordered a vanilla Iced Coffee and it was delicious and refreshing... just what I needed to get my day going. Will definitely be back!!

They have the best doughnuts and friendliest staff their artisan coffee is delicious and at a reasonable price. I highly suggest going here!!!

So amazing! Great variety and the flavors are delicious. Had a cronut and son had a jellly filled. Cronut was light and flaky with sugar on top. One of the best I have had!!

One of the best donuts I've ever had! Selection is rather small, though. They run out of everything if you're not in by 10 am. Luckily, every donut on the menu is fantastic!

DISCLOSURE: I did not buy or eat here.

Upon entering I immediately noticed several things:

1. The donuts were selling for $2.50 or more apiece.
2. The employees appeared to be miserable.
3. The clientele was the trendy middle class variety that will spend money on glitz rather than guts.
4. The layout was dark and disjointed.

I review a lot of places, I’ve traveled all over the world, and I can immediately tell when a business has a successful model or not, and if I’d be willing to pay for their product. With this in mind here is my review.

This business is placing its bets on the quality horse. They sell a quality donut from an extreme amount of variety to be niche in their market. The problem is, donuts get cold and bread in general is not as good the longer it’s out.

When you sell a few at a time and make a decent profit but have only one or two employees trying to serve a line out the door because people can’t really see the menu or product so they get choosy and uncertain at the counter, it causes a line to form.

Second, instead of mass producing a solid 6 types and having them fresh and hot by the box, and go instead with about 40 different types with a million a la carte varieties, you limit your ability to expand your business and to offer a niche product down the road at a home location.

In conclusion, if you run a business that is top heavy, ie; wants more money for it’s believed quality, and light at the bottom, cramped space under paid employees, and heavy on social media or another medium for marketing; then the business will crumble or will stay in one place and be known as the best damn whatever in the area! But there’s no growth, room for improvement, or for upward mobility for its management or employees. It will stay a trendy craft operation that supports its owners vacations and lifestyles until they are audited by the IRS. Go by and enjoy two donuts though that won’t fill you, and will leave you $8 lighter after a tip.

No thanks.
