I took one step inside of this place and just knew it was going to be good. The line was out the door, old men were perching at their regular tables, sipping on coffee and speaking loudly to each other. One old man wore a blue and white seersucker suit with a white fedora and must have been at least 94 years old. Besides the atmosphere-creating crowd, the towering racks of donuts, pastries, bagels, and muffins gave me a great first impression of Heav'nly Donuts.
With 35 varieties of donuts and 15 flavors of coffee, it was impossible for Andrew and me to limit ourselves to one kind or get our regular flavors of coffee. We opted for a half dozen consisting of a glazed, boston cream, maple (mine), blueberry filled, double chocolate, and marble stick (Andrew's). For coffee, I chose an iced coconut hazelnut (black) and I surprised Andrew with a hot cinnamon hazelnut (regular). The prices were very fair there- the half dozen cost $4.50 and the two coffees were $4.15.
As for taste, both the donuts and coffee were out of this world. Not the absolute best I've ever had, but pretty close. My boston cream donut was delectable mostly because of the custard filling, which for some reason was so much more rich than I have ever tasted it. The coconut hazelnut iced coffee was so refreshing and delicious- and even the iced coffee cup and straw were aesthetically pleasing (the straw was blue). Andrew also gave his donuts and coffee rave reviews.
I will go out of my way to go back to Heav'nly Donuts!! I already miss it.
