  I have worked near this place for three years now and have passed by without coming in. I love Krispy Kreme and the Tim Hortons of the world have left a foul taste in my mouth, so until today, I have been in the presence of greatness while being completely ignorant to it.
  
  Do you love America? Are you nostalgic for times that seemed simpler and pleasant? Do you like delicious and consistent diner food? Do you f$#@ing love yourself some donuts? If you answered yes to any of these questions and you haven't been here yet, you are doing yourself, your family, your ancestors, your offspring and your countrymen a gross disservice and you should rectify this immediately.
  
  Pete, the owner, looked up from preparing food to thank another gentleman and I for walking in. When he overheard me saying it was my first time, he came over and shook my hand like a man and introduced himself and gave me a menu, informing me if you call ahead they can basically do whatever you need. "Home made donuts for as long as I live" were his last words to me as he went back to the kitchen.
  
  I love this f&%#@ing country. The man loves to make donuts and diner food so he sets up shop and makes good food. He stays there for years, which turn into decades. People of all walks of life come in to try it. Regulars show up every day. Famous people take pictures with Pete and adorn the walls; an homage to 20th century Americana. Just standing in there feels great. But haven't even gotten to the best part, yet.
  
  I bought like 16 donuts. And a large coffee. The donuts had to endure a car ride and a long walk through cold weather, so I was prepared for them to be mediocre and I'd have to come back when they were fresh to give the place another shot.
  
  I broke off a piece of the blueberry cake donut... "oh my... that's.. that's... mmmmmmm.." I thought, as copious amounts of endorphins flooded my bloodstream. I took a bite of the braided twist and immediately punched the concrete wall near me 4 times with each fist in rapid succession then continued eating it while making sounds that almost assuredly would have warranted a drug screen or a sexual harassment lawsuit at the very least.
  
  It's obvious that Pete knows what the f$@% he is doing and it's obvious that he loves the f&#@ out of what he does. I know I've found a new tradition in my life. It's a safe bet that Pete will be around for the next 50 years..

  Great place to sit and have lunch and coffee. Donuts are made fresh daily and are delicious (: And the owner Pete is a great guy! Places like this are one of a kind. Old school.

  BEST FRESH OLD SCHOOL MADE DOUGHNUTS IN CENTRAL OHIO. PERIOD. Breakfast was amazing as well. One of the last true diners in the city.

  Went there to try because I love a good donut diner and loved it. Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. Food is priced very well and you will walk out stuffed. Donuts are light and fluffy and I will definitely be making the trip out again. This place is a true diner and I will recommend to my friends.
