    Hi there potters, your probably not gonna read this, but I am from Florida, and my dad recently flew up to Traverse city Michigan for a job and got your donuts and flew them back down here, and I just wanna say they were the greatest donuts I’ve ever had in my entire life, I’m not even exaggerating, they genuinely are. So I just wanna say thank you for the greatest donuts ever :)

    Might be one of the best Cream filled long John donut I’ve ever had along with fast and friendly service. Blown away for a first time customer. Definitely will return on next trip.
